| Lotus cleaning system oxygenated water for LP's? Pawlowski6132Well, I guess that shut me up.'I hope that was not attributed to me, I try NOT to offend anyone. The value of Audiogon forums is the exchange of information. There is no way any one of us has time to experiment with every combination ... | |
| Lotus cleaning system oxygenated water for LP's? 'Wet' cleaning doesn't necessarily imply cleaning only with water. Nrchy made it clear water was the 3rd step in a multistep process."Other than water, I'd be curious to know what other liquid base he's using in the first two steps.I don't know wh... | |
| Two-Year-Olds and Turntables... I realize all kids are different, but I was able to teach my son that some areas are a "no." The "no" areas included things under the kitchen sink (we did not lock the doors), electrical sockets (no hairpins please :^) and my turntable.By the time... | |
| DIY Acoustic Diffusers Albert, doesn't foam act as an absorber? I would think you'd need something harder and more reflective like ABS plastic or wood. Where do you find a hot wire cutter?Foam is softer than wood, but with several coats of paint the surface of my diffus... | |
| DIY Acoustic Diffusers The diffusers I use are foam version of RPG's. A hot wire cutter can slice these from the pattern of your choice. Mine were built by a local guy and cost was VERY low.Here is a link to them in my system. Click the image to make larger so you can s... | |
| Buying from Canada a hassle for you too? I've had countless shipments into Canada (Porter Ports), all were sent USPS. Post Office paperwork for Canada is just a post card sized tag if the value is not high.There have been a few occasions when the Canadian buyer had to wait for longer tha... | |
| Smallest room dimensions for good bass to 20hz 20 HZ is 56.6 feet long, so I guess the perfect room would be that long or longer. I doubt there are many homes with a stereo room that length, so maybe all of us are compromised?Maybe Rives or some other acoustics persons has a formula that deter... | |
| Best re-issue LP's While not "audiophile quality," the Speaker Corner reissues of Blues greats are so superior to the originals, I thought they must have found earlier masters than the originals Chess were cut from.The one's I've bought so far: "Muddy Waters - The B... | |
| More tacet Recordings... I agree with you on Die Röhre - Tube Only, I've had that LP for many years now. I have not purchased the other Tacet records you mention, so I can't comment. | |
| Non classical piano based music recommendaiton The first two that come to mind is Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett. All of Bill's work is near perfect, my favorite of Keith Jarrett is from his days with A&M Horizon, teamed up with Alice Coltrane and Charlie Haden.Maybe too obvious to include i... | |
| What kind of UPS collect experience is out there? FedEx sends your customers payment to you via overnight express. The only negative about FedEx or UPS is there is no guarantee the check is not counterfeit. Your safe with known Audiogon members, but scammers will find their way into our fold, jus... | |
| Compromises (recording quality) Great topic for a thread, I've dealt with this problem all my life. When I bought my first system as a teen, my goal was to build a system that allowed me to hear music at it's best. Like you, I found that often with high end components, the sound... | |
| Changeing RCA to XLR I've done exactly that, changed from RCA to XLR at the rear of my turntable and replaced my tonearm cable with balanced interconnect.I think my sound was improved slightly by the connector upgrade, but mostly it's a matter of eliminating partial c... | |
| does anyone sharpie thier CD's??? That's my favorite post from you Elizabeth. I actually had visions of those tiny Angels and Devils dancing on either side of a pin head.Wonder if they ever party around the cantilever of a moving coil cartridge? If yes, I hope I don't choose a son... | |
| B&W Name Change Theory Snofun3. I'm not looking for the final word, I hope you read and understand where I'm coming from on this well diverted topic, and then respond.I know nothing about the Ford- Volvo of today. As stated in my original post, my opinion regarded my 19... |
