| Options for ridding records of static electricity @slaw So, spraying the Gruv Glide onto a felt pad and then wiping it around the album involves a static charge?? Please do explain further.. | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 @decooney I do agree that the design of the circuit is a major factor in whether the KT150 or KT120 is going to be preferred. The amp designer in question is absolutely convinced that the KT120 is superior to the KT150 in SQ. i think while this m... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @slaw The actual installation process of Gruv Glide involves static charge, do explain? Most folks use Gruv Glide on noisy pressings to reduce back ground hash, it also secondarily helps in reducing static build up on the vinyl. Personally, i see... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @mijostyn If you cannot hear what the dust cover does negatively for the LP12 SQ, there is little more to be said. The use of a product like Gruv Glide is beneficial in many instances, and like chayro stated above, it will minimize the build up o... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @chayro I second the suggestion for Gruv Glide, it is a really excellent product that seems to work as advertised. It does indeed knock back static initially, but one will find that with repeated playings, static still will build up, particularly... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @mijostyn. The LP12 is best played without the lid. I don’t know of anyone who listens seriously to the Linn that plays it with the lid on...easy to hear how it impacts the SQ negatively. BTW, for those who don’t know, the Linn LP12 platter is act... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @atmasphere The Veblen effect you mention is certainly a very important aspect when it comes to high end audio. I have spoken to several manufacturers who have told me outright that they are required to either a) have a high price on their wares o... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @slaw Let's see if the OP wants to diminish his SQ or wants to diminish just his static. I think maybe you misunderstood some of my points. | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Managing static on the LP12 is not going to happen with a felt mat, we all agree with that. BUT, the question the OP has to answer is if he wants to impact his SQ by going away from the felt mat, or if he wants to do away with static ( although I ... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @xagwell The cost of the last 10-15% is always much higher than the average in audio. Whether it is worth it is another question and only answered by the individual consumer. I would agree that with some of the Linn upgrades the cost is high comp... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @slaw Obviously, but of the many I have heard on the Linn, the stock is preferred. How many mats have others heard on the Linn table? This is the question from the OP, about the Linn LP12, not other tables. | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @atmasphere Ralph, this is where we disagree. The Linn felt mat is the best sounding mat for the Linn ( except for maybe the Collaro mentioned above). The Linn felt mat damps out the platter and is spec’ed for the table. While I suspect you have n... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @masi61 The felt mat on the LP12 is certainly the cause of the static issue ( well one of them), unfortunately it is also the best mat IME for getting the best sound from the table. Replacing the mat will probably mean a reduction in SQ, and no m... | |
| Looking for ideas on Lyra Delos - muddy middle @dducat The Lyra requires an extremely precise set up ( not only mechanically, but also load wise), due in part to its new angle technology. Getting it close is not going to allow the cartridge to sound its best. Unfortunately, a lot of folk who e... | |
| Looking for ideas on Lyra Delos - muddy middle @dducat 0.2mv vs 0.6v is actually a fairly considerable difference in gain. The phono stage should be working a lot less with your Lyra..and this should actually lead to less noise than your other cartridge...not more.One other thing to consider,... |
