| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @ochremoon Let us know how it goes if you decide to jump into it. I think you'll be quite pleased with the results if you do. And since you already have a vacuum machine, I highly recommend you use it to do a couple rinse/vacuum steps after the ... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @ochremoon I'm using a 40kHz machine and getting very good results. But in line with Terry's comments, I'm doing 2 records at a time at most, and more often just 1 even though the Vinyl Stack will hold 3 and there's room in the tank for 3. As we... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @moonglum Moon, one little experience to relate from my end. One of my favorite "go to" pieces (for when the uninitiated come over to visit, look at all the tubes glowing, and invariably ask why I don't get something "new") is Roberta Flack's "Fir... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @rushton Glad I could contribute just a fraction of a percent to your body of work. :) @terry9 Thanks for that info. 1 and 2 were an unknown to me, so appreciate the information. I'm a bit leery with the 50c temperature. Seems a bit on the hig... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @astro58goI, for one, have found Rushton's postings on this very useful, and his very detailed and thorough instructions on the process spurred me on to set up an ultrasonic system of my own. I'm very appreciative of his efforts and his generosit... | |
| Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7 @czarivey 1. tubes dissipate heat that dries out electrolytic caps. 2. occasionally blown tube can blow other circuit components or even set circuit board on fire.1. So do transistors2. I've owned tube equipment for 25 years and have never had a ... | |
| Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7 @czarivey Please detail how it's unsafe with all tube preamps (beyond the ultimate safety practice of just never turning it on at all). | |
| Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7 I don't think there's any one right answer to this question. It depends on how hard the component is on tubes, how long the component takes to "gel" from a cold start, time between listening sessions, how unpalatable (or conversely, inconsequenti... | |
| Does the magnetic levitating platter make all other designs superfluous.No bearings! I wonder how they keep the magnetic field that levitates the platter from interfering with the magnetic field in the cartridge? | |
| Power conditioner help Take a look at Jon Risch's comments in the link below. Perhaps the regenerator(s) are sized appropriately for the RMS current, but starve when the peak requirements occur?I'm certainly no expert on this, just passing along info from someone who k... | |
| What cables are you using for a hidden in wall clean look? I have B&W 802 D3s coming. @Vicweast Thanks! Haven't ever looked at the code or requirements, so that's good to know. | |
| What cables are you using for a hidden in wall clean look? I have B&W 802 D3s coming. I'm using the AntiCables too, except they are run under the floor instead of in the wall. There is an open entry way right between the speakers, so my options were to run the cables on top of the floor and put some kind of cable protector over th... | |
| High end UPS for Expensive audio eequipments @ Westom" And finally, UL says nothing about hardware protection. UL is only and completely about protection of human life. Who is the UL? National Fire Protection Association."Um, not to confuse what you've written with actual facts, but UL ... | |
| Turntable distorition I agree with Stringreen that the best thing to do at this point would be to send it back to Audio Advisor. But just in case, did you get a stylus force gauge with the package? Some VPI arms include one. If so, did you check the tracking force? ... | |
| A New Comprehensive Turntable Setup Video Wow! Very, very nicely done. Thanks for freely sharing that incredible amount of work.Only criticism I have is that CookOut burgers are way better than In'N'Out burgers. :) |
