| Triple deionized water for cleaning lps ? Mosin,Still, I'm not changing my rituals just because half my records were played by some guy who used a ten dollar cartridge on a Magnavox console. ;)It the previous owner didn't damage the LP too much, all that cleaning still pays off. The previ... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? The fact that kids can freely exchange digital files and burn perfect copies without paying has certainly hurt CD sales. As you hinted, digital will remain but distributed by other means and who knows how many of those might be in our future?I thi... | |
| dead quiet Thank you Clio09, your post must have appeared while I was composing my response.Thank you for the kind words, I could have just let your post stand and not posted mine if I had waited a few minutes :^). | |
| dead quiet Agree with Audiofeil, my system is dead quiet with phono and I'm not surprised Bill has achieved the same result.I'm confused as to why so many people find this hard to accept. There are half a dozen guys in my local audio group that have dead qui... | |
| Speaker placement: Your favourite shortcut? I agree completely with Rushton, I use this method in my own system and with every pair of speakers I've had in my room. To my ear this works perfectly. | |
| Unipivot vs Linear Tracking loved the "Versa" It sounded very good, but it almost never got through an LP without sticking, or something like that.Humidity in the air would condense due to the high pressure in the Gast aircraft compressor used in the Versa pump. When this hu... | |
| Unipivot vs Linear Tracking Regarding Mike Lavigne from 7-27-08i have recently purchased three additional turntables, a Technics SP-10 Mk2, an SP-10 Mk3 and a Garrard 301.Me too, sort of. I bought the Technics SP10 MK2 about 2 years ago and the Technics MK3 this month. I don... | |

| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? Another 7 year thread. I love it! Keep em coming!Ever heard of the 7 year itch? The only cure is the 7 year scratch.You can only scratch with records. The thread lasted long enough to answer itself. | |
| great musician's audio systems Audphile1, yes he's quite an addict when it comes to audio. I visited Andrew in Westchester area of New York months ago to help him with his system. He loves tubes but does not own a tester nor is he comfortable swapping stuff out.His turntable wa... | |
| great musician's audio systems Before he moved back to New York, Andrew Litton was part of my music group that meets every Tuesday. Andrew listens to classical, Jazz and vocals on his Clearaudio turntable with Graham arm, Conrad Johnson ART preamp and phono, Wolcott monos, B&am... | |
| Company or Solitude? Much better with company. I love people and I love music. That's probably why I could never tolerate headphones. The only time headphones are appealing is to get away from jet engine noise (or similar situation). Seriously, my Tuesday night sessio... | |

| great musician's audio systems I have been curious if any of my fellow audiophiles might know what the audio systems of other great musicians were like. And if anyone knows of past musican's rigs (Pablo Casals, Jimi Hendrix, whatever)I have photos of Led Zeppelin partying toget... |
