| What adhesive is used to re-tip a cartridge? Why not get the cartridge repaired properly by someone who already knows what to use and how to use it? Soundsmith comes to mind. | |
| Recommendations on Turntable for under $1k Just to offer another opinion, I believe it is possible to double your value on the used market here on A'gon. Personally, I like to buy from members here who have excellent feedback and who also contribute in the forums. And there are some dealer... | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning Oh. Well, that's different.... Nevermind. Seriously, I didn't mean to come off like an arse so sorry if I was terse.Hey, there are 2 obscure SNL references in this thread. Nice! | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning "But thanks for being so open-minded" That is exactly my point. Taking Fremer at his word is not really open minded from my point of view. | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning That's it? He writes for a magazine and has more money to spend so he's the expert? As I said, everyone is free to do as they wish. | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning Everyone is free to use whatever they wish. Hell, some even put Elmer's Glue on their records. That and Aquafina are most definitely not my choices. Who is Fremer and why is he the definitive opinion? | |

| Best speakers for about $2000 a pair Aerial 10t, since you can drive anything. The more power you give these the more they relax and sing, but they do need some room to work well. You might have to stretch a bit more toward $3K. | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? My 4 chassis Alaap is not going anywhere! | |
| vinyl cleaning with wood glue....works? I say it is dumb simply because of the time and labor involved spreading the glue, waiting, peeling it off. I can steam a record in less than two minutes and not have any second thoughts about leaving something behind to snag an expensive stylus. ... | |
| Granite under wood for better isolation? Haven't tried on top of anything, but I have realized the benefit of having weight on some things. Like my speed controller, of all things. :-) One approach that Thom Makris keeps mentioning is to attach some angle to the bottom of the granite wit... | |
| Granite under wood for better isolation? Tbg, the 1" granite is the shelf on my sandbox and is cut 1/2" smaller than the width and length of the inner sides of the sandbox. There is about 2 1/2 inches of sand under the granite. The ringing can be heard as smearing of detail in the lower ... |
