Tried the Flux HiFi on side one of "The Last DJ" after listening through the complete side first. Same volume. Notes are slightly more clear, instruments have a little more sustain. Certainly, piano notes are more clearly presented. Looking at the stylus after cleaning, I could clearly see the stylus/cantilever interface more clearly and nothing came off on the blu-tack.
So at this point, especially since I've been so diligent with cleaning all along, I feel right now it's a worth while accessory, especially at a good discount. |
Jellybread "First Slice" Blue Horizon/US/WLP
Ran across this by chance and took a chance on it. |
Currently cleaning one of my gifted lps from @tomic601 , Nitty Gritty Dirt Band "Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy". Has one of my favorite songs on it, "Mr. Bojangles". I bought the Jerry Jeff Walker (who wrote it) lp earlier this year with that song on it. I went to YouTube to look up Sammy Davis Jr.'s version that I remember loving as a youngster. Didn't find that one but watched his performance in Germany circa 1985. Such a talented guy! |
I got in a Flux HiFi electronic stylus cleaner in today. Had my eye on this quite a while and decided to give it a go. My Sussurro is 1yr @ 8 mo. old with conservatively 2000 hours on it. ( I think most people following this thread know I listen at least 25 hours a week.) Still sounds great but I thought it would be a good candidate to try this unit on a little later.

@noromance ,
Now if you only had the cartridge for it............. |
Pretty sure that NGDB lp was (cleaned) by someone previously with lighter fluid.

My next one out of the "care package".....
Procol Harum "Live w/ The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra" 1972/A&M
PH is one band I'm sorely lacking in my collection. This record is surely one I'd never had thought of buying myself, which is why I appreciate it so much. Thanks again Jim! |
Hey James the Korppoo Trio had caught my eye earlier.

One more shout-out Elliot, I almost overlooked Appalachia Rising. Ordered their 3 lps. Thanks! |
@uberwaltz,
I/we love you bro, just seems that you make major moves too often. (remember my past emails to you)
It's hard to make a correct move in audio without a constant /basic force from the front-end. IMO, this requires long hours listening to the same components for quite a while.
Take this FWIW to you. It's worth a lot to me. |
cause "you're a man baby"! |
Playin' Terry Evans 'Puttin' it Down" side 2 from last week. |

Hey Uber,
If you run across "Hot August Nights" in your journeys, pick it up. I have the MFSL, love it!
BTW, saw the Avid on your systems page. Very nice! |

Your postal clerk just gave you incentive to tell a little white lie. |

@bkeske,
If they could do it, that would resolve a big issue: an additional component and interconnect.
Then they would have more positive 'user experiences' another motive for them. |
@bkeske,
I’d bet Shitt would incorporate a switch in your current unit if you’d send it back. |
+1 bkeske,
Try 1/8". I can even tell the difference on my subs by very small increments.
I get the feeling many plop their subs in a corner/s and are done. What a mistake.
I credit the Jim Smith book for my speaker positioning and Pierre Spray (Mapleshade) for my subs positioning. |
@bkeske,
My Trio has a mono switch. When I installed my mono cart, it bested that set-up easily. I bet Shitt would build you a piece at your request. |
@bkeske,
Asking doesn’t cost anything. |
"Into the Great Wide Open". again |
Hey @reubent, been thinkin' about emailing you. Where you been? |
