| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner All,As a suggestion, substitute Tergitol 15-S-9 for the Triton X100. You can buy this at Talas, one pint is $21.75. The 15-S-9 is very similar to the 15-S-7 that the Smithsonian uses for shellac record cleaning, except it has a higher cloud point... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner SAFETY ALERT!!!Hepatstat 256 in its concentrated form is dangerous, its deadly. Read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and other Warning labels. This is an Industrial product, and unless you have experience with proper Personal Protective E... | |
| phono preamp for the ortofon 2m bronze Kully,Good to hear it all worked out. For a linear power source with R-core transformer, check out Wyred 4 Sound`s, PS-1 modular linear power supply. The version with one high current (3A) module which would be required for the rPhono, is only $... | |
| phono preamp for the ortofon 2m bronze kully560,The Arcam at 40db will multiple the input signal 100:1, so a nominal input of 5.5 mv will output at 0.55 volts. The nominal signal ended output from a cd player per redbook is 2 volts. So, the Arcam will need more volume. I did a quick... | |
| phono preamp for the ortofon 2m bronze kully560,My version of the 2M BLACK is circa 2016, which would coincide with the version that lowbeats.de tested, and my preamp gain is only 6db. I suspect your version of the 2M Bronze is more recent, and Ortofon may have corrected the output vo... | |
| phono preamp for the ortofon 2m bronze kully560,If you check www.lowbeats.dem, they tested the 2M ortofon and they yielded 10 mv. I ran the rPhono at 30db with the 2M black and plenty of gain with the volume conrol at a good level, the 2/3rds range. Otherwise, if you dig deeper into ... | |
| phono preamp for the ortofon 2m bronze I recently purchased the ARCAM rPhono and use it with an Ortofon 2M black. The HiFi+ review is what I experienced. The build quality and range of adjustability without having to go into the unit is quite remarable for the price, especially since... | |
| Cartridge loading I am probably crazy for jumping into this conversation, but boldly going in; there is a lot conversation with a lot of experience on this subject, but from a engineering perspective, actual analysis can be pretty light, and the accuracy of vendor ... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! I have a TNT, but it has been significantly modified, I machined and added a 0.25" thick MIC-6 AL constrained layer plate to the bottom, and added a 2nd armboard courtesy of a delrin Avenger armboard and it sounds great, but the cost to manufactur... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! I was at CAF, and talked to Harry about this new table. First, its is not an Aluminum-Lucite-Aluminum layer, it is Stainless-Aluminum-Stainless, with the concept being to concentrate the plinth mass close to the Platter. So, the arm-boards, bein... | |
| Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable! Let me try this again, my discussion was not intended to imply that the aluminum platter was the cause, only a point of reference. I suspect that the very thin leather mat that I am using can more easily conduct the static electricity produced to... | |

| Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable! When I got back into vinyl a few years ago, I similar problems with a VPI aluminum platter and did an all on assult on the issue. I grounded the cartridge to the phono preamp and grounded the platter to the 120VAC wall source but using ground cab... | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. To everyone here, please take some time to go to OPs site and review the hardware he has, except for his preamp it is VERY high end. The amps are $20k a pair before mods, the DACs are $10k each, and I would bet the speakers are >>$25k, and ... | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. @brianlucey; your assessment brings up the age old observation that how a unit measures does not necessarily reveal how it will sound. The Boulder equipment, same as the Levinson generally measure impressively, but can draw different subjective o... |
