| Record cleaning fluids This was suggested to me by members Doak and Tvad as an inexpensive and effective enzyme cleaner. Works like a charm. | |
| Thrift Store Vinyl Finds Found a first pressing of Rolling Stones' "Sticky Fingers" for $.99 at Goodwill a couple of years ago. Not a scratch on it. Cover in very good condition, with working zipper and inserts. After that I went home and poured myself a scotch.Bought Mor... | |
| Marantz 2270 overhaul Why bother sourcing on your own, unless you're looking for a more boutique approach? All the capacitors in the kit are Xicon, which worked fine. For as many caps as there are upgrading could get expensive. I did, however, upgrade my power supply c... | |
| Marantz 2270 overhaul That sounds like the guy. And yes, it will take you a while :) Be careful desoldering. Those old circuit boards are fragile--the circuit print will lift if you get in a hurry. You might also want to look on the web for the wiring diagram; it was v... | |
| Marantz 2270 overhaul I tried to post the URL of a guy who sells rebuild kits but the moderators deleted it. I've done the rebuild on a 2230 and it wasn't easy. There are lotsa boards and they're wired tightly together. There's about a hundred caps that need replacing,... | |
| Best integrated tube amp for around $2000 The Cary. I drove my ProAc D28s nicely with an SLI-80. There are days when I wish I hadn't sold it. It's easy to bias and reacts well to tube rolling--just don't get carried away coz there's 10 tubes. Nice headphone section completes the package. | |

| Great films where music is a central theme. Does Help clear the bar? I also want to add Trainspotting, but I can't say that music is a theme within the movie; music does, however, move the narrative thematically. Your call... | |

| Cary 805C Coupling caps modification You can get the schematics from Cary, but it depends on how old the amps are. If still in production, forget it, they won't give them out. Otherwise, it should cost $25 dollars for a download. Well worth it, believe me. | |
| Just Bought a VPI Scout higher compliance, I should have said. | |
| mfsl vs. classic records I've had pretty good luck with the MFSL label lately, especially the Silver series. | |
| Just Bought a VPI Scout I owned a Scout, and I always used the calculators found on the Vinyl Engine website to match cartridges to the JMW-9 arm. From what I read, neither of those cartridges is the best match. Not saying they won't work--try them, find out--but high co... |
