| Phono preamp with mono switch? Graham Slee can personally fit his phono preamps with a mono switch. My Era Gold V has one. | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? Screw record cleaners.. I've got to have one of those robots Tbg is talking about! | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? Ctsooner:As far as how often to clean, I'd say as long as the method you use doesn't cause undue wear itself it's up to you how often you want to clean them. Jyprez says he cleans his every time and that's his choice. I don't clean mine that often... | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? Ctsooner:After I clean mine with steam I have them hanging in front of a fan to dry. They dry quickly. Just make sure you don't stir up any dust behind the fan. You can do a visual inspection when they dry. As far as stylus cleaning, if the stylus... | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? Ctsooner:You can buy bench top ultrasonic cleaners large enough to dip LP's into for a few hundred dollars instead of paying several thousand. No automatic rotation of the LP but you could rig up something or just turn them by hand. Just make sure... | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? That's a great idea Hevac1. We're down to only one high end audio store in the area and it's 45 miles away.. Used to have several nice ones years ago. | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? If what some have been talking about when you say cleaning a record is using one of those padded velvet brushes on a new LP, I would advise strongly against doing that. That's as clean as that LP surface is ever going to be.. I just blow off anyth... | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? There is a difference between wiping the dust off the surface with a padded padded velvet covered Discwasher brush and cleaning the record. | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? Continuing from my last post.. Stuff does eventually get down into the grooves however and no amount of wiping of the surface will get that.. Thus the need for a good effective LP cleaner. | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? Sure Whart, if you see something on your record clean it off. Absolutely. Common sense.I was addressing the notion espoused by some, more than likely originating from makers of LP cleaners, and then repeated by others that there are artifacts left... | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? No Whart, if you'll read my posting again what I was looking at was not the surface but down into the actual grooves of the record. | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? But more to the point, I wish we could edit after submitting, not everybody can afford $4K for a truly effective LP cleaner like the Audio Desk Hevac1 has. And that's why I was trying to get some people who are fortunate enough to own a good LP cl... | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? Hevac1:I think steam or the ultrasonic of the Audio Desk are best for actually getting stuff out of those microscopic grooves. The "microfiber brushes" claims used by some cleaners are in fact so relatively large that they would straddle several o... | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? Now I don't want to start a great big argument, but I have an old American Optical/Reichert Stereo Star Zoom 0.7X to 4.2X scope and am able to actually see right down into the actual grooves of an LP. I also have a brand new pressing of Carol King... | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? Just curious. How many people here personally own LP cleaners?How many also bought $600-$2000 LP cleaners when you bought your turntables?How many people still have stores that sell vinyl in their area?And how many of those stores offer to clean L... |
