| Why warm amps sound better. I leave my SS amp on 24/7. After being upgraded and 5 days of shipping time, it took 4 hours to start sounding very good. The manufacturer said it takes around 24 hours before the transformer reaches optimum temp at it's core. | |

Is not vacuum drying another form of dry brushing?What, if any difference is there from vacuuming drying vs. dry brushing, other than in the vacuum mode, one... | |

Common sense mode needs to be used.The AD (fan dries). I do respectfully disagree that vacuum drying does not cause a static build up. I've experienced this too ... | |

This includes: washing the rollers/ filter with a bleach/distilled water solution/nylon brush, rinsing again and again... rinsing/washing out the tank as best I can with ... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Wondering if you've have ever used the Audio Desk? If so, how does the end result compare between the two methods?The Audio Desk is more mechanical in nature. It has it's share of detractors. I'm sure that mine will fail at some point. I am still ... | |
