| Triple deionized water for cleaning lps ? >>Amen to that, brother.<<Ditto.Let's keep in mind we're cleaning plastic discs not cashmere sweaters. | |
| dead quiet A hum problem can be very difficult to identify as there are so many factors to consider.In my experience, as it relates to analog front ends only, I find the preponderance of hum problems are usually found in the (lack of or poor) shielding/groun... | |
| Triple deionized water for cleaning lps ? You can find triple deionized water at any local triple deionized water store.It must be then treated quadrupully with a reverse inverted submerged osmosis filter and finally double filtered with a triple stength, quintuple layered, sextupled back... | |
| dead quiet Actually any "audio-head" can achieve dead quiet with the proper combination of components I outlined earlier. It's not a selected siutation, magic, or pipe dream. And certainly not relegated or restricted to dealers. With more experience you'll l... | |
| Upgradability of an MMF-5 Invest in a new turntable/tonearm.The MMF-5 is a "buy and listen to without changes" product. Sell it when you want to upgrade. | |
| dead quiet Don't agree.With the proper combination of turntable/cartridge/tonearm, phono stage, and software an analog front end can be dead quiet.I can prove it to anybody who wants to stop by. | |
| Measure My Turntable Speed >>can someone tell me in down to earth terms why you must spend 90 some dollars for a strobe??????<<KAB can.But you don't need that thing. A strobe disc and fluorescent light are all that's required. | |
| 300B SET Tube Amp recommendations anyone?? Dpang233 is mistaken.Very few 300 SET output 12-15 WPC. 7 to 8 WPC is far more common. | |
| budget component in high-end system? I keep many pairs of real world priced interconnects, speaker cables, and power cords for demonstration to prove that components, not wires, are the backbone of a good system.Dealer disclaimer | |
| Rega P5 W/RB700 Cartridge Match / Mate ? The 20XH is one of the all time "best buy" phono cartridges.Good luck. | |
| Pop on turntable startup In some cases this can be eliminated by grounding the motor. | |
| Spades or bananas connectors? It's not a big deal.In a series of blind tests not a single poster here could tell if he (she) was listening to spades, bananas, or bare wires.Buy and use what is convenient. | |
| Can anyone recommend a Phono Pre Amp? I agree with Manitsory on the JLTI. I find it a little grainy/etchy sounding. Too "hi-fi" for my taste.For less money and better sonics the Graham Slee Era Gold Mark V and Revelation are much better IMO. | |
| Shelter 201 cartridge versus Ortofon 2M Blue Ekobesky,I sell the 2M Blue and it is not a state of the art product. Far from it. Real far in fact.Perhaps "high value" or "best buy" are more applicable.Dealer disclosure. | |
| Replacements for Quad 989's ?? Magnepan 3.6 or 20.1.Short term the Bryston will suffice but you will need more horsepower to properly drive both Maggies. |
