Clearaudio Azimuth Optimizer V Fozgometer
Getting to play around with the Azimuth has been a worth while tweak.I have a nice result now which is very enjoyable.Before I consider a meter I will have a hearing test as I think my right ear may be lacking in the mid notes.(Voice area)Stump 
Clearaudio Azimuth Optimizer V Fozgometer
Thanks for the responses.I had a play yesterday with the Graham Phantom II Supreme cart setup and Azimuth and to me although it sounds different at different stages of adjustment I can not pin point the sweet spot.To use the Clearaudio Azimuth Opt... 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
Sony SCD-1 VSE 7 with Uber Box.Sounds very nice indeed.The seller upgraded to the (dCS Puccini SACD/CD player and dCS Puccini U-Clock) combo for High Rez access and agrees the Sony is up there in sound quality!! 
Esoteric UX-1 V Esoteric DV60 SA60, 5.1 Music

Thanks BenjieThat clears up the DeMag and Destat.Good to hear the positive opinion of the DeMag.The dealer was just answering my questions honestly and happy to sell either or both products.You must have quite a ritual to go through when playing y... 
FURUTECH DeMAG LP DEMAGNETIZER Owners
Hey DownunderI use the Nitty Gritty and use 2x round for cleaning and 2x round for vacuum.I don't have a big issue with static but as I am going high end with vinyl every bit helps..Stump 
FURUTECH DeMAG LP DEMAGNETIZER Owners
Thanks for the feedback.Just to clarify Benjie!Are you saying the DEMAG demagnetize LPs and also removes Static?The Destat only removes Static.A dealer told me the Demag he has sold did not get great feedback and recommended I buy the Destat 2. Stump
