| Cartridge forgiving of "non-audiophile" recordings and pressings I think that it is probably a good idea to dumb down the system when listening to most of the LP's that you are talking about. Not sure if this is a worthy cause, but it seems to be a requirement with these recordings, IME.I would consider a MM of... | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers My wife's hearing is far superior to mine, and all other male hobbyists that I know. Now if i could only get her interested in listening to my rig, for more than 20 seconds!! | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 Here’s an opinion that seems to be unpopular right now in high end audio. Why on earth not make more of the product at a far lower price and sell many more to the ’general’ public, than make something that is priced so very high that it will only ... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @jili12 Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into that. My OP was also more along the lines of why an ages old formulation of the vinyl, which was clearly so effective ( thereby not requiring brushes or any other devices) is no longer utilized, ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @mozartfan Remember, the typical vid you are watching on YT is of the original Jadis JA30, not the 30Mk2...which is a much newer design and frankly, sounds IME very different to the original. ( as it should, since the transformers and KT150’s are ... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @antinn Thanks for the research, that is very helpful. It seems that the coating is a Catanac Sn product that was mixed with the vinyl. Very interesting that there was some concern given to the fact that consumers should NOT have to deal with stat... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @audioguy85 While the felt mat probably does allow for more static build up, the issue was non-existent with the felt mat and the 317x treated RCA white dog. I happen to think that the original equipment felt mat is better sounding than any after... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @1971gto455ho Uhmm..No! | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? The real question when I read reviews is how discriminatory is the reviewer in question. Many times it would seem that the rave review, full of hyperbole,is given by the reviewer who perhaps doesn’t have a true standard that is high enough to guid... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! Bill, interesting question, what was in the JVC super vinyl? I was always intrigued by the fact that you could hold one up to a light source and see through the vinyl. This is apparently similar now to what is utilized in the newer MoFi one step v... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @whart Thanks Bill. I think the amazing thing is that we all probably have quite a few RCA’s with this stuff added to the vinyl. I know I do.Reading your link, seems to imply that some kind of off-setting electrical charge was added in the formula... | |
| Replacing LP12 arm with Well Tempered Simplex Arm I run a custom WTA ‘Black’ arm on my LP12 Radikal D...sounds great! It is no easy task to set up, but once set up it stays that way. The benefit about the WTA is the very light weight which works well with the Linn suspension. Look at my profile t... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @rauliruegas Thanks for that link, very informative. What is extremely interesting, is that whatever 317x is, it seems to have a life long effect on the LP, and IMO, one that is actually beneficial. I wonder how long Gruv Glide actually works for? | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! I had not cleaned this particular album recently ( I had vacuum cleaned it before a few months back), and it went through the same playing ritual as all of the other albums on the table last night. I do think the formula that was described as ‘Mir... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @mozartfan Your journey does seem to be one of frustration. Just remember to tell the next owner of your Defy of all of the mods that you have done..they should be interested in that. ;0) |
