| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Sorry to say but plain distilled water does not do anything. It will not clean your records, it doesn't matter how many cycles you do. It won't remove grease or fingerprints. You need to use 1 1/2 ounces of isopropyl alcohol (70%) per tank and a s... | |
| Isonic vs Kirmuss vinyl record cleaner @sguntherI purchased the Isonic record cleaning system when it came out about 2 years ago. I purchased it at Amazon. The price at the time was very reasonable ($425). I was looking for a system that would clean more than one record at a time. The ... | |
| Dealer Discount It’s pretty obvious you have no negotiating skills. Walk in and demand their best price, they’re not going to take you serious. They will tell you anything just to get rid of you. It would be obvious to them that you are not a serious buyer.Now th... | |
| Dealer Discount So I guess when you guys go to buy a car you pay sticker price for it, no negotiation just pay the price.But hey what do I know I'm just some dude on welfare that doesn't even know he's a jerk.Great advice from above. And they say you can't learn ... | |
| Dealer Discount Let’s continue on, how about the record clamp made out of wood that cost $4800 or the MIT speaker cables that cost $60,000 or the amp stand made out of wood with brass footers that sells for $4500. Don’t ask for a discount, these guys are barely s... | |
| Dealer Discount How about a .20 cent fuse that sells for $150. Don't ask for a discount, remember they have rent, taxes, insurance, wages and a family to feed. It's justified, just say'in. | |
| Dealer Discount Dealer markup on an item is anywhere from 40 to 50 percent. So think about it, you buy a $20 k pair of speakers, the dealer is making about $10 k profit. That's ridiculous!And how do I know this, my brother worked for a dealer for many years. | |
| Trying to find someone with a cable cooker in Metro NY HaHaHa I wonder how the cookers would break these in?https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis92ceiThe cable cooker will not work with MIT network boxes. The network box does not allow for the signal to properly flow through the cables. I know this be... | |
| High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO ducatiriderYes, the helix is that much better. I have 6 Pros and 4 Helix in my system. The effect that the Helix has on sound is so much better. The Pros are amazing but if I was going to invest I would spend my money on the Helix version.And that... | |
| Can you use the Kirmuss Ultrasonic cleaner without the lengthy white paste steps lewm Here is the MSDS sheet for Tergikleen http://www.sdpickups.com/pdf/msds.pdf | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning mayoradamwestCheck that the roller is installed correctly. There are 2 pins at the bottom of the unit that the rollers connect to. I have missed one of the pins when reinstalling the rollers after cleaning them. The roller will turn but not clean ... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? My water filter comparison was for all those people on the forum that think nothing can make a difference. I don't care if we are talking about cables, equipment, tweaks, cartridges, cleaning solutions, racks or whatever else I did not mention. Th... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? I own an audiodharma cable cooker it works great ! I’ve used this thing for years. I don't think it belongs on the list. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? jimf421Take that filter off your water faucet. It won't do a damn thing. Think about it. Your water has to travel miles and miles through old crusty water pipe before it gets to your house. That filter won't help at all.I guess you feel the same w... | |
| Cartridge Impedance A higher ohm setting will increase the treble and decrease the bass, a lower ohm setting will decrease the treble and increase the bass. There is no correct setting it's a matter of personal taste. |
