| Would like to add a sub to a two channel system My opinion is to skip the external crossovers, etc., for now and just use the sub's built in crossover set around 50 Hz, but do try to find a second sub identical to the one you have. I have found it much easier to integrate two subs rather than o... | |
| VTA on a Triplanar Tvad, read Mike's post again. He didn't say it was unique, you added that part. Your joke has no punch line. ;-) | |
| Koetsu vs Dynavector Ditto what Halcro posted about all of these cartridges. Short of a Universe I would, and did, go for the XV-1s. Koetsu house sound just isn't to my liking for the music I listen to most often and it seems I listen to about the same mix of music as... | |
| 78 RPM turntable You bought a bunch of records that you have no way to play?!?Man! You've got the audiophile disease really bad! :-) | |
| VTA on a Triplanar There really is no way to correlate what one Triplanar user finds to work for VTA with what another Triplanar user uses for VTA, unless the cartridges are exactly the same (even 2 lyra's probably won't be exactly the same), the tables are exactly ... | |
| Mintlp Ditto! You probably won't be off that much once you get the arm and the protractor in the correct positions. It sounds like most likely you haven't learned how to do this important step with an arc-style protractor. As Swampwalker and Thom say, yo... | |
| Stillpoints The Stillpoints are very effective. I use them under the aluminum shelf that my Galibier sits on. Probably a bit more effective than a sandbox and much easier to use. I've not used them anywhere else in my system so I can't say what else they may ... | |
| PHK record cleaning machine $135 for some pvc pipe fittings and a plastic box that really amount to nothing more than a vacuum sweeper attachment. I'll stick with my own homebuilt rcm. | |
| How much were vinyl records selling for? It was Peaches in the southeast. We paid a little premium, but they got the releases before most any other vendor back then. Even on our relatively modest system back then, most of us still resisted ceedees well into the 90's. And only then as an ... | |
| How much were vinyl records selling for? Oooo. I may have been going too far back. Let's say it was still below $3500 by the time ceedees became really popular. | |
| How much were vinyl records selling for? If I remember correctly, back then you could still get a brand new VW Super Beetle for about $2K. I'm not sure what that means to this thread. :-) | |
| Steam Cleaning - RCM or not? Doug is certainly the expert when it comes to using the ME. The technique I learned from him was to trim a piece into a taper, sort of like one of those foam paint brushes, and use the thin part just like a brush instead of a dipping motion, which... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 To be honest the answer is yes. But don't let that dissuade you from using steam to clean your records. However, it could also be that you are new and the moderators don't "know" you yet. | |
| mono vinyl- which way to go? Bwaahhhhaaaahhhhaaa! That was great!Before you decide on any two arm setup, I suggest extensively auditioning with one arm and then compare with the second arm mounted. However, if you really do listen to 90% mono then why do any stereo at all? Th... | |
| Steam Cleaning - RCM or not? How are you using the ME? I've never found anything that the ME won't get off. The loss of airiness is most likely increased static that can be sometimes caused by vacuuming as others have already posted. I don't experience this with my rcm. Have ... |
