| Cartridge alignment channel balance measurements? James,The filter is not needed if you have an oscilloscope to measure the channels. You will need the filter if you use a DMM to take the measurements. I don't know exactly how steep the slopes need to be, but 12 dB should be ok as a start. If you... | |
| Rush fans on the board ?? HI Rush fans!I had the chance to see Rush live this past Friday night. It was an awesome show to say the least! These guys have not slowed up at all. They played for close to 2 1/2 hours, no warm up band. All of the greats from years past were pla... | |
| Cartridge alignment channel balance measurements? Be sure to read on down that thread on the importance of using a bandpass filter at 1kHz, or you won't get the desired results. | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Hi Sonofjim,Here is my opinion on this. I'm not a water expert but I was a licensed water plant operator in Florida for a decade and a half, so I know enough to be dangerous on the subject. Steam will be purer, but there are some compounds that wi... | |
| Extending phono ground cable You may want to consider grounding to the phono stage. I'm assuming that you have that unit close to your table since you're not asking about longer leads. You may also be able to ground to the nearest AC plug. The screw in the center that holds t... | |
| cleaning fluid mix and match? Check out the thread on steam cleaning and give it a try. You'll be very glad you did. Go to the nearest Walgreen's and spend $20 on a Perfection steamer. You'll find that you can jump off the cleaning solution merry-go-round and just use what you... | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? There is so much more to it than just assembling the parts. I'm sure that Nick Doshi, Ralph, Jim Hagermann, Jose, etc., all started off as DIY'ers. So what are you really paying for (exclude any marketing for the sake of discussion) when you buy e... | |

| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Crem1, I whole-heartedly agree with you about the rinse. IMO and IME pure rinse water is where money is best spent. It does not take much water to properly rinse. No flooding is needed. A teaspoon at most. Any more is a waste in my experience. Bei... | |
| Thinking about selling Vinyl collection - long Ken,My opinion is that you should list your LPs in small lots, say 5, 10, or 20 at a time, set a price for them and see what happens. You could try to sell them as a lot, or individually, or both. Then you will have a better idea of what moves and... | |

| MC phono stage without transformer? I used several MC preamps without a transformer, but I never heard any sonic improvement. A disappointment.Surely you aren't saying "heard some so heard them all"? ( And I didn't call you shirley! ;-) )I've heard/owned a few with xformer and tube ... | |
