| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Stiltskin,The Galibier protractor (not really, it was just one Thom Makris printed out to show people how an arc protractor works) did work. The difference, and I think you got this from what you read, is that the protractor Thom sent as well as t... | |
| ZeroDust still the best? The ME is chemical-free and used dry. I know many use a cube of ME and then dip the stylus into it and this may be the best approach for those with poor eyesight and unsteady hands. However, the approach that works best for me is how I've seen Dou... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions So take the Ken Willis, or any printed out arc protractor, and increase the accuracy several times. That is the MintLP tractor. The difference is in the method and fineness of the arc and alignment lines. You will need at least a 6x magnifier to s... | |
| Mapleshade Steamer Kit.....anyone? KwKwsr1000,I believe, from my own recent experience, that your LPs would still benefit from steaming and vacuuming. I use the $20 Walgreen's steamer and my DIY RCM, which I would match my RCM against anything short of a Loricraft or Monks. You cou... | |
| Would I gain anything? Try this linkLansing Heritage Forumsand this oneAA High Efficiency Forum | |
| Record cleaner Zowie,Have you tried rinsing after the Deep Cleaner? I use a vacuum as well but I can hear a big difference between using a final rinse and not using one. | |
| Would I gain anything? I suggest asking over at audioheritage, under the Lansing forum. Also, the guys at the hi-eff forum on audio asylum could probably help. | |
| tt surface noise reduce or tolerate? I agree there are LPs with very little surface noise and I have several. It is quite easy to get lost in the music and think how quiet the background is. And then you lift the stylus and feel the slight drop in room pressure. I believe it would de... | |
| tt surface noise reduce or tolerate? Well, I haven't picked up a Radiohead LP for a while so maybe I'll check this one out. It is possible that it is just poor quality vinyl. But then, there needs to be a reason to get people to shell out for the 180/45 double lp. ;-)Some will argue ... | |
| Record cleaner Ken1967,The RRL Deep Cleaner is meant to be followed by the SVW which helps remove what may be left behind from the Deep Cleaner. You could try using distilled water, but it may not be as pure as the SVW. A final rinse with as pure a water as you ... | |
| tt surface noise reduce or tolerate? There are many variables that affect how much surface noise you hear from vinyl. How clean the record is, how clean the stylus is, stylus profile, platter surface material, phonostage components and power supply, all play a part. There are probabl... | |
| What Cartridges to use with Triplanar IIV Tonearm? Mikeaudio, what is the rest of your system? Do you prefer a bit of a warm sound? Or do you prefer more neutral sound? What is your budget for a phonostage? | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? FYI: Walgreens has reduced the price of a Perfection Steamer to $19.00 US until 6/23. I believe the price is the same in its stores & the internet.Yep. I just picked one up from my local Walgreens at $19.95. Looks like they have built the reba... | |
| Optimum TT Height Very interesting, Dcstep and Thom. I think I got lucky when I built my stand. I was thinking about the height since it can make or break cartridge setup ease. In the end my platter surface ended up at about 39" off the floor, which is about 5 or 6... | |
| checking platter speed I'll second the KAB Speed Strobe. I use on on my Galibier and really like it. Remember, anytime you check the speed be sure to have the stylus tracking in as dynamic a passage of music you have. As far as what you may be able to do if your table i... |
