| RMS Power? @almarg, Al, as you can’t attend any of Roger’s presentations, have you watched the two videos on You Tube of his seminars at The Burning Amp Festival? His and Nelson Pass’, that is. Great stuff! It's a pleasure to own products by both these great... | |
| Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment? @french_fries, are you sure it is Last Record Preservative you are using? How much did you pay for the pint bottle? A pint of Last is not cheap!@harrylavo, you either have the year wrong, or it is not Last you are using. It was not introduced unti... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I couldn't agree more with both clio09 and gpgr4blu. Thanks guys. | |
| Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment? @rshak, First was made by Nitty Gritty, but was discontinued because some chemical it contained was banned by the EPA. It was as you said, a heavy-duty pre-cleaner, made to remove mold release from new LP's before they were cleaned with regular cl... | |
| Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment? Thanks for the link to Larry Archibald's Stereophile review, has2be. I had seen those microscope pics of Last treated and untreated grooves, but it was years ago. Michael Fremer has also reviewed Last, and is an enthusiastic endorser. You know who... | |
| ARC REF 150 Buzzing noise I’ll bet minorl is right. The KT150 is much more demanding of transformers than is the KT120. Verify that the tech is replacing the one in your amp with one rated for the KT150, otherwise you may end up right back where you are. Maybe consider get... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. NO amp is happy with a 2 ohm load, or at least it’s far happier seeing a higher impedance. When did all these very-low impedance loudspeakers start appearing, and why? The original Magneplanar Tympani T-I was a nominal 8 ohm load, which soon was c... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning fuses Let me see if I have this right.....If, in a discussion about turntables, I post that John Atkinson has stated that he finds his Linn LP12 to better reproduce the timing element in music than any other table he has heard. And by dint of my posting... | |
| Cowsills @sbank, The Continental Drifter’s albums are good, and they were an even better live band. They had a residency at a club called Raji’s, located in the basement of an old hotel on Hollywood Blvd. They played every Tuesday night in the early-90’s, ... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning fuses I couldn't care less if the Hi Fi Tuning fuse: 1- does or doesn't provide better sound than Buss, Little Fuse, or any other garden variety brand; 2- does or doesn't possess the potential to make possible damage to an amp. I have no ambition to mak... | |
| Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment? @rshak, Walter Davies states that because the Last chemicals bond to the vinyl molecules, any foreign matter in the groove will pushed off the surface of the groove (but will remain IN the groove), where it may be heard by the stylus as noise. The... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning fuses @rodman99999, the answer to your "why would a correctly valued fuse (in voltage, amperage, and time), as required by amps’ owner’s manual, be a danger to it’s DC circuitry?" question---a reasonable one, is exactly what Roger Modjeski (my "hero", a... | |
| IN YOUR EXPERIENCE ?? WHAT IS THE QUIETEST 12AX7 TYPE TUBE ??? 6072 ? Spiral Filament 5751, I don't recall the brand. Whatever Frank Van Alstine was putting in his modded-Dynaco PAS pre-amp in the 1980's. Zero hum, and just a hint of tube rush with the volume control at max. | |
| Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment? I very much agree with cleanliness cleeds (I own a VPI HW-17F, and am putting together a DIY USC), but Last is not "goop". It is a very thin liquid, which when applied to an LP bonds molecularly with the vinyl, preventing the fracturing of the vin... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I neglected to include the following: I very much appreciate and concur with the feelings of Art Dudley and Herb Reichert, that "forward musical momentum", touch, and full color saturation of instrumental timbre is extremely important in the repro... |
