| headphone analog system???? Headroom in Bozeman makes fine headphone amps. | |
| Turntable Advice LP 12 is a solid performer and is not fussy. Their useful life has no end since they have without fail been updatable. So you can get an old one and bring it up to date at your pace, or just buy new. There are better, but in a much higher price ra... | |
| How best to clean old 78s. This might be quite an adventure! First of all you cannot be sure of what you have. And you would not want to play them on a high end system unless you have a 78 cartridge such as Shure is making. So, begin with examination. Are they gritty grimey... | |
| Sheffield LP,,my first one I looked through the rest today, and all my green and white are thin and digital; the earliest is 1983. But as Jsujo says, very quiet. And thanks, Hodie. | |
| Sheffield LP,,my first one You have a toothsome list there. As for the Erato, I have a Green and White label that says 'Numeriquee Digital' and is thin. It is a 1986 made in France with RCA affiliation. | |
| Small floorstander recommendations Go with the hot rod Kestrals. They can configure for bi-wire which my tubes appreciate. They can rock and roll but really deliver on voice too. Their smal footprint is no diminishment of sound. | |
| Anyone in Vegas listen to the Gilmore speakers??? They were nice for accuracy. They have enough bass for those who do not demand the high volume of moving air to give that palpable kick. They are not going to fatigue you over the years, even though they do not have that forward impressive sound t... | |
| MONOmaniacal advice requested vinyl question With not a lot of funds, the Helikon is probably out of reach. If you could do it Plato's way it would be nice. But I could afford another setup for only for my 78s, where the cartrige is critical. So I am happy just buying more mono LPs until my ... | |
| What Equipment Remains In Your System Long Term? My Linn is from 1980. I suppose it is a little like the farmer with his 23 year old hoe. He changed the handle 8 times and the blade 5 times. I changed the arm twice and added all the other tricks. But my new cartrige every four years really keeps... | |
| Audiogon "Recordings to Die for" a complete summary Yeah, yeah, enought mit der 'kudos'. What have you done for us lately? Looks like a bunch more came in since July. We need the third quarter update, hint hint. (imagine the sound of a bull whip cracking; ponder the comparative harmonics of the hor... | |
| Where does a sellers responsibility stop? Well, it stops where you and the buyer agree it stops. Not that you did anything wrong, but now know it is always safer to at least say it, or better to make a writing, if that does not seem too chilling. Other than that, it is buyer be ware. The ... | |
| Do cd's store a more exact copy of sound than LP's Well, digital isn't so bad as before. And mass market LPs were much worse right when cds first came out than thirty years berore or twenty since. And digital should get much better and cheaper. But not today. Nothing is accurate. Every thing matte... | |
| what to do before you get the vpi record cleaner? I have the 17f and it is a great luxury. I must ditto all the Disc Doctor stuff. I now use the VPI to rinse 'vac before and after a rubba dub dub with the doctor's velvet pad. I do use purified water because my water is really hard. Even though VP... | |
| When do records damage a stylus I am going to try this again after re-reading your question. I will now say that since you have cleaned them, that the pops should be sheared off after several playings. I would start using Last record preservative for the ones you have cleaned. T... | |
| When do records damage a stylus As Groucho would say, records break a stylus when the stylus need replacing. And you can afford it if you look at Grado or Goldring. Styli wear badly at something like 500 hours of playing uncleaned unpreserved records. Good cleaning will add a fa... |
