| Does Furutech lose effectiveness over time? @rsf507 You can not measure the surface with the record rotating. The meter is not able to get and accurate reading with the record spinning. What I have measured is the record is neutral when placed on the platter. Play that side and then take a... | |
| Does Furutech lose effectiveness over time? @kenrus I have owned the original Furutech Destat since 2007 and have used it for every vinyl album, CD and BlueRay disc that I have played since then. It has been used literally 1000’s of times with no issues. I think it is one of the best twea... | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 @jayctoy @68pete Yes the cables are directional. My concern is that the cables have been connected for a few years to these speakers. There are no small children or pets that may have stepped on the cables or pulled on them. The cables just la... | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 I need some help ! I have a pair of Ultimate Reference speaker cables and one of the cables stopped working, no sound coming from the right channel. Before people ask, yes I did switch out the cables with an old pair of cables that I had layi... | |
| REEL TO REEL TAPE? @joes44 Backcoated tape is not an issue. All modern tape formulas are backcoated now. They also have excellent stretch and strength properties so they are less likely to break. They are dead quiet and sound amazing. As I stated above ATR and RTM... | |

| HumminBird ultrasonic cleaner and other options to distilled water I have been down that road of using laboratory grade water, reverse osmosis water and distilled water. I found no advantages to using lab or reverse osmosis water. I keep coming back to using distilled water. It's cheap and easy to find and works ... | |

| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Here we go again, another attack, now I am a thief. I am stealing a term used in the recording industry, to describe the sound of some of my albums, that has been around before Better Records even existed. We are down to this now. That's your argu... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Once again millercarbon you attack me like I am some scared little kid in the school yard.

| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! @maroneofferringI think that there is a little confusion about what I am stating. I have many hot stampers in my record collection. Some are original pressings and others are remasters. I was curious as to what Better Records classified sound wise... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! No, I use this record as a reference talking and listening point when people ask about better records hot stampers.

| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! I have purchased a Super Hot Stamper, "Breakfast in America". Paid $199 for it. The record was rated A++ for both sides. I played it and compared it to an original copy that I own and did not hear that much of a difference. I do not think it was w... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! As I stated way back in the beginning of this thread, you already own hot stampers. Clean your records to remove everything that is in the groove of the record. Next and this is the most important step, demagnetize the record. That is the secret. ... |
