Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning
terry9I too have bought many records which appear NM, but play poorly. Just to note, most records look NM after a US cleaning (scratches excepted, obviously). Nevertheless, a well used record plays that way, no matter how it looks.Exactly. A... 
Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning
fleschlerI've purchased ebay records where the seller used the KLAudio. The records are nearly mint; however, they are missing their highsI don't think there's any correlation between the lack of highs on these LPs and the use of the Klaudio m...

geoffkaitHe’s been digging around inside digital gear for 25 years?! Well, that blows my theory that he’s only 15 years old all to hell. His "Go give yourself a cookie" rejoinder and temper tantrums reveal that he probably hasn’t reached 15 yet.

geoffkaitmI would probably call it pseudo faith or pseudo belief. I think the faith of the "pseudo-skeptics" is the genuine article. Consider the vitriol that follows when their faith is challenged - they respond just like fundamentalist evangeli... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
geoffkaitNaysayers claim that certain tweaks are snake oil. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Where’s your proof? Their "proof" is their belief, i.e. their faith. By definition, faith requires no proof. That's why attempting to ...

lewm"VTA adjustment on the fly" is perhaps the most over-stated feature of any tonearm.Perhaps. One of the problems with on the fly VTA is that when you change VTA, you're changing a bunch of things. Of course you also change SRA, but you're als... 
Why are my woofers pumping?
o_holter Some more pumping and woofer cone vibration testing today ... still noticeable on very high volume. There is some subsonic pumping ... it happens at certain intervals per revolution of the record (playing silent grooves between tracks). ...

gbanderhoos I replaced it with a KLAudio KD-CLN-LP200 with (IMO) much better build quality, but still unimpressive results ...That’s interesting. I’ve had outstanding results with the Klaudio. It may not be the best device for extremely dirty LPs ...
