| Speaker break in? Bufus, you do that 29-day test with a pair of speakers. Let me know the store location so I can then go in and buy them as "open-box"! :^0 | |
| Retail pricing in classified ads Scott makes a good point about notifying the seller. I was looking at a pair of speakers here that were demos listed by a dealer. The stated retail price was $200 more than even the MSRP as listed on the manufacturer's website. I called and the de... | |
| Good Audio Dealer in San Francisco Dan, you are right on the mark. When Century opened in El Paseo in Toga, I thougt, great, some high-end near my home. But, alas, another HT emporium. Guess I can't blame them if that's where the money sits. But you're also right, the rooms SUCK, t... | |
| VPI aries scout, Nottingham innerspace... Hope they didn't sock you for a "special" arm pod, DD. The stock pod for the Spacedeck will accept the Rega arm with only a change in the split ring collet. | |
| Cleaning vinyl - am I using this thing right??? Damn! I only WISH that static stayed away from me and mine that long. Where I live, there is often static buildup BEFORE the record has played through! I've tried humidifiers, spraying the carpet with clothes softener, grounding the spindle sump o... | |
| Cleaning vinyl - am I using this thing right??? I don't totally disagree that LAST may remove the static to a degree approaching the Zerostat. If cost is an issue, as it seems to be since the $60 price tag for the Zerostat was bandied (mine cost $50) a comparison can be made. Assuming we are sp... | |
| Good Audio Dealer in San Francisco In my best George Bush (the elder)/Dana Carvey voice:Bay Area Aduio - good!Magnolia - bad!Musiclovers - good!Audible Difference - bad!San Francisco Stereo - kinda like Saddam!Analog Room - kinda good! (and they DO carry Sonus Faber) | |
| Cleaning vinyl - am I using this thing right??? No problem, Sean. I have also heard of folks using the turner/label cover from the Nitty Gritty machine to use when doing hand-washing. Maybe they can be purchased separately. On occasions, when I have to lay an LP flat on a soft towel in order to... | |
| Cleaning vinyl - am I using this thing right??? I use the Zerostat to what seems to be good effect. I live where dryness and static are a problem and removing an LP from the jacket will sometimes make the hairs on my arm jump to immediate attention. I find that using the Zerostat eliminates thi... | |
| Cleaning vinyl - am I using this thing right??? Gee, my mistake, too, Blw, it is DEEP Cleaner, not SUPER cleaner, though it does do a super job. I have generally found two revolutions to be sufficient for drying im mopst cases sometimes a time or two more. Certainly wouldn't "blanket drop" that... | |
| Cleaning vinyl - am I using this thing right??? There have been numerous posts on this subject and there seems to be as many methods for cleaning as there are posters! I began without a vacuum cleaner but now find my VPI 16.5 to be indispensable. I tried a host of products and have settled on a... | |
| VPI aries scout, Nottingham innerspace... I imagine that many will recommed the VPI and its possible upgrade path. If you are not interested in this path, I recommend the Interspace as a SOLID choice. I auditioned all of the TT's you list and the Interspace was the clear winner (at least ... | |
| New TT for around 2000--- need some advice Thsalmon, what companies mentioned here do you suppose will be out of business in a year or two? VPI, Nottinghham, Basis, Sota, Michel? Or am I midreading your post? | |
| New TT for around 2000--- need some advice I have heard very good things about the Teres, but have not listened to one myself. I bought a Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm combo and have been thrilled. You should be able to find both for around your price (or less)used. Had a P25, which the 'N... | |
| Have I ruined my stylus? Hee hee, Twl. I've done this and it does work. As a matter of fact, didn't Linn (or someone) actually hand out, or even sell, a thingy that was no more than a matchbook striker back in the early 70's or so? I think I might even have one of these i... |
