| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @mijostyn,CFCs were banned 20+ years ago - whatever is left is with those that horded the product a long time ago; and CFC-solvents have an indefinite shelf life. So, enjoy what you have - very few people have any left. There are some laborator... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @mijostyn,The article “Phonograph Reproduction 1978” in Audio Magazine May 1978 (download here - https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-A ... 978-05.pdf ) goes into some detail on static; what causes it and what does not – the needle in the groove ... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! FWIW - Different ground locations can have different results. When I first grounded my platter spindle (VPI TNT/Classics platter), my first ground attempt was to the phono-preamp ground connection. This was not successful - record playback was sti... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 So, here is a perspective, an opinion,For these upper priced tables, there appears to be about a 3-4:1 ratio between the table the tonearm. With the SAT arm already at $50K, to market a matching table, the table has to cost $150K-$200K. Its part o... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @whart,Thanks - I did a deep dive into static a few months ago, so I was familiar with the background and the applicable sources. Based on the deep-dive, I identified a material that I am now using as a record mat along with grounding the platter... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! If you are at all interested, the details of Miracle Surface are addressed in the following RCA Engineer Magazine 1960 Oct/Nov - see article Anti-Static Phonograph Records, 1960-10-11.pdf (worldradiohistory.com) . The ingredient is a cationic... | |
| Looking for a phono stage with pleasing coloration I have the Soundsmith Paua II into a Simaudio LP5.3 with the external power supply, and as Soundsmith and others report the Paua II is a bit lush and sultry. I run the loading at 1000 ohms for a bit more high frequency detail. How is your cartri... | |
| Having A Tough Time Justifying More Than One Table If you have the shelf space, there is the option to add tonearm pod(s) as a way to make your SOTA a multiple arm unit:VPI is working on one and should be available in in the near future - vpiforum.com • View topic - The Pod This site does custom w... | |
| Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT? @mcmanus,Are you sure you have a 12" arm??? A quick verification it to measure from the tonearm pivot to the end of the headshell - it should be very close to 12". The next available size from Reed Reed 3P - Reed tonearms is a 10.5" - this ar... | |
| Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT? Do you have the Reed 3P manual? If not - download here - Bedienungsanleitung-Tonarm-Reed-3P.pdf (bohne-audio.com) and follow directions accordingly. When you say the turntable can handle a 12" tonearm - does it have an adjustable armboard - ea... | |
| Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT? This is the Hanss T-30 HANSS ACOUSTICS T-30 (hanss-acoustics.com). From a casual view, your Reed 3P 12" tonearm is probably not going to fit on that turntable. Each turntable has allowable tonearm lengths that will work. Send Hanss and e-mail and ... | |

| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas, et.al, Per your request from PM, attached is the link to the Audio March 1981 magazine with the article on VTA/SRA and the effects of both. https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-Audio/80s/Audio-1981-03.pdf.

| SUPER Staticy Record??? @lewm,Agree completely with your statement. An old Audio magazine article showed that just removing a record from a paper sleeve could produce a static charge on the record = 30,000V (this is not a typo). Otherwise, it appears the folks over at th... | |
| SUPER Staticy Record??? @lewm,Completely 'wetting' the record will remove the static charge from the side that is fully 'wetted'. This paper shows that a 20% IPA solution which has a surface tension of about 30 dynes/cm will remove the static charge from Teflon which ha... |
