BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
New 2015 Re-Rip!
Remastered using the Ortofon OM Super 30 stylus!
This is one of those singles that I originally ripped way back in January, 2011. Back then I was using ClickRepair and the Ortofon OM 20 stylus. The result was a good rip but not as good as it could be. Now in 2015 I have stopped using ClickRepair started manually removing clicks and updated my stylus to the Ortofon OM Super 30. I also upgraded the tube in my Bellari phono pre-amp to the Tung-Sol 12AX7ECC803-S Gold Electron tube resulting in a much higher quality transfer. Enjoy!
