| LP care I'll see your Spin Clean and raise you a DIY RCM that spins by hand. Cost me about $75. ;-) The fluids are what do the work, but nothing replaces vacuuming the crud off.As to the other part of the OP's questions. I find that new LPs usually need b... | |
| Skipping on last track consistently Maybe watch the AS mechanism as the arm tracks and see if there is any catch, or binding? Matter of fact, disabling AS altogether while you troubleshoot might help eliminate one variable. | |
| Interface: Cartridge-Preamp or Cart-Tonearm? Interesting to note the conversation has moved from the stylus end in Tobias' post to the phono stage in Syntax's post. Mechanical vs electrical. I think there is much I would agree with Syntax on his approach. Knowing what bits I've learned and w... | |
| Interface: Cartridge-Preamp or Cart-Tonearm? I can tell you what some of these lesser cartridges sound like on a Talea. So far, I've used a 103r, older Benz Glider MO, Shelter 901, Dyna 10x5 and 20XH-2. I think many people might change their opinion on these carts when heard on a Talea/Galib... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak I agree that it does seem to be 'table dependent, along with weights and clamps. There is an inter-play with the platter surface at work that can change how the vibrations in the vinyl behave. We heard this when the Galibier platter changed to the... | |
| Interface: Cartridge-Preamp or Cart-Tonearm? Both are important. Missing on either will degrade the final sound. The cart/arm interface is mostly concerned with the mechanical operation of the arm/cart/table. Things like alignment, mass, bearing design, etc., are the parameters here. We can ... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Mrdecibel, only the part above the quote was directed to Atmasphere. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Atmasphere, the issue I have is that we have to have these same damn "discussions" every time horn comes up on Audiogon. Zealot troll, there is enough of this on both sides."It doesn't matter what you or the others think sound the "best", that's t... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? We've had this conversation, Unsound. You troll every thread that has the "horn" word in it. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? "You and Weseixas are just trolls" BINGO! | |
| EL34 vs 6CA7 vs KT77 I have some of those Siemens. They are sitting on the shelf while I use new production EH 6ca7 daily, because these are cheaper and don't do anything I find offensive. I don't really find much to get excited about the NOS Siemens, but amps are dif... | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. Here is a clue. What does the Amazon sound like to you? | |
| DIY record cleaning solution recipe needed Slight correction, Hdm. AIVS Super Cleaner does contain alcohol, and the Premium Archivist formula is for those who don't wish to use any alcohol.dealer disclaimer | |
| What are I don't find 180 gram or 45 rpm LPs to necessarily sound better. In fact, most don't sound as good as the original pressings. It is really no different with any other format, if the guys making the recording are good we benefit. If they are medioc... | |
| Step up from music hall 2.1 You can only go up from the 2.1. However, if you can put off a purchase and save up some more you could make more than what will probably be a small step up. I understand that you prefer to buy new, but if you could consider a used table your mone... |
