Best Record Cleaning Fluid
mijostyn... stick with your distilled water and ultrasound. But you'd better be careful because according to Mr Kirmuss if you use the wrong frequency you could damage your record!My LPs have suffered no damage at all. I've actually tested the... 
Digitizing Vinyl; Suggestions Please
You can use Audacity to edit your tracks.Digitizing 300 LPs is a tedious, time consuming undertaking.

Alcohol? Brake fluid? Special potions and magic formulas? I have to wonder what contaminants are on the LPs that warrant such an approach.Ultrasonic and distilled water work fine for me. I get a pristine, perfectly clean LP every time. What more c... 
Separate Phono Pre - $$ before I will hear a SIGNIFICANT difference vs. integrated?
elliottbnewcombjrphono eq is very simple, standardized for all manufacturers since RIAA Industry Standard agreed to (right after or before most of us were born).This is mistaken. There have been a variety of EQ curves for the LP. In the US, RC... 
Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable
@lewm I see now that what I wrote was completely ambiguous! If Edison had won the point, we wouldn’t need rectification in our audio equipment, but on the other hand the DC voltages available for B+ would in many cases need boosting. We’d be in a...

elliottbnewcombjrThe force of a stylus in a groove is tremendous, it will dig any grub out ...Nonsense. You will not get a dirty LP clean by playing it - even if the stylus is perfectly clean when you start. I’ve become increasingly convinced tha... 
Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable
lewmCleeds, As I recall, from reading those very same history books, Edison promoted DC electrical transmissionExactly. That’s what I wrote. Edison promoted the electric chair to warn about the dangers of AC. All of Edison's early electrification... 
Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable
Okay here's another thread where obviously mijostyn and clearthink want to talk about things other than audio, so I'll exit here. I guess these guys are really amused with themselves. 
Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable
mijostynAC is the preferred way of transmitting electricity to customers because it is way safer, more efficient and lower maintenance than DC.Oh no, AC is not safer than DC - that was Edison’s argument when he was battling it out over power distr...

Looking for a good full range floor stander
twoleftearsThere are biases and there are vested interests. Big difference.No, not necessarily. Bias is bias is bias is bias. And that's probably why dealers are permitted to contribute here.

sleepwalker65 AC frequency, which before accounting for noise from other sources can vary by up to +/-2Hz ...Please explain how noise affects AC frequency and how you arrived at this spec. Noise that breaks the synchronization can increase this ... 
Is elliptical the best stylus profile
I guess these guys want to chat about things other than audio and stylus profiles, so I’ll take the cue and exit this thread right here. Maybe I’ll alert the moderators if I get around to it. Meanwhile, I’ll let the "arguments" from mijostyn and c... 
SET amplifier recommendation
It’s difficult to imagine how a manufacturer with a direct sales model could have this for a return policy:"Prepayment by Bank Transfer, Certified Check, or Money Order. NO REFUNDS or EXCHANGES- NO EXCEPTIONS"... to which I would add "NO SALE!" No... 
Re-tip or Replace?
agrippaThe only scams I've ever been a victim of has been right here on Audiogon.That's interesting, because your Audiogon profile shows you've never bought or sold anything here.
