What is your experience with the Spin Clean?
@jjbeason14, WRT to a return policy, I highly doubt that if you buy from China, they are going to give you a money back return policy.   Read the HG manual to understand the device - HumminGuru_HG01_Owner_s_Manual_English_Version.pdf (shopify.co...

What is the best way to clean Vinyl?
@jjbeason14,  Vacuum RCMs are mostly about convenience - they suck the fluid from the surface.  The chemistry used, the brush used, and your technique determine how clean the record will be.  There are very high $$$$ vacuum-RCM that have automate... 
What is the best way to clean Vinyl?
Many reasons, just a few: IV.10 Records that have been fully cleaned can still sound – for want of a better term – bad; clicks, pops, hiss, and distortion. There are any number of reasons such as following, but no amount of cleaning is going to f... 
What is the best way to clean Vinyl?
@jjbeason14, First, air drying does not cause static. However, if you are using the Spin Clean cleaning agent and not drying with their cloths, you may allow cleaner residue to dry on the surface.   Simple things to try: 1.  Whatever concentra... 
What is the best way to clean Vinyl?
FWIW, the record is a blend of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyvinyl acetate (PVA), and together under heat they form a copolymer (once formed does not separate) and is sometimes called polyvinyl chloride-acetate (PVCa); and there are various typ...

SUT - electrical theory and practical experience
@rauliruegas, You have taken what I said completely out of context.  What I was trying to say is that based on the two values you provided which was only the slew rate and the bandwidth, that by the equations the amp would become unstable at a sp... 
SUT - electrical theory and practical experience
@lewm, Not to take too much of a tangent from the intent of this thread, but this article should clarify sound intensities in watts per meter squared with the more commonly used sound intensity levels in decibels (dB) - Sound Intensity and Sound ... 
SUT - electrical theory and practical experience
@rauliruegas, For the record and no pun intended, TI did not exclude wide bandwidth MM.  Their written statement was "This is generally not a problem with moving magnet cartridges, since they are usually severely band-limited above 20 kHz...". O... 
SUT - electrical theory and practical experience
Not proclaiming to be any expert, but when discussing 'rise time' the traditional engineering parameter s 'slew-rate' dvt/dt = X-volts/micro-sec.  And once you are talking about slew-rate there is some pretty established science associated with it... 
Will this stuff ruin my records?
FWIW - this is what is in Dawn - CPID (whatsinproducts.com). There are 20 ingredients of which only 4 are doing any cleaning - and they are anionic and nonionic surfactants and alcohol. The product is not naturally thick - other ingredients includ...
