| How do you clean your type of stylus? I zap mine with a Cybersonic toothbrush once a week (use a stylus brush otherwise before/after play). The ultrasonic toothbrush @ $180 (on sale) was not purchased with stylus cleaning in mind, but it works well and takes but a second.Oddly enough ... | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question Don't be a spoil sport Albert. Your wife may just be interested in an old/nice Victrola cabinet (perhaps enough to ask that you replace the rest of the setup with it:-). | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question Albert:Will you be listening to the 78's in true mono? Probably too late now, but I'd put together a separate vintage tube mono system on the cheap (it could even be an early stereo amp with a mono switch).Amps of the appropriate vintage will have... | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? Funny Ray:A more than decent local musician left my home town of Des Moines to play with the "Archies" cartoon/45 stuff. No way I'll ever remember his name though after all these years. | |
| Breakthrough Evidence of the Beatle's Genius? Looks like you are the only rude dipshit so far. I've raised both. | |
| Breakthrough Evidence of the Beatle's Genius? Our latest addition (1.5 year old Annette-Lucile who is a little orange kitten) has had her own CD since we found her 15 months ago. Not a clue as to why she likes it so much (Dusty Trails), but she runs about the living room making chirping noise... | |
| Can sibilance be eliminated? Sibilance is a natural occurrence in song/speech. 99% of the recordings I've experienced depict this (100% of the older live performances I've attended as well, prior to them receiving digital help/bandaids in the "near" real time).Other than teet... | |

| mixing kimber kable in ht 4VS is a bit less detailed than 4TC, but I'd say it's still a good tonal match when used full range. Try it, don't think you will have a problem.I used both types 4-5 years ago in various configurations. | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Ohlala:I notice that a certain pinheaded poster, in the old thread, has @ least changed his moniker since then, but unfortunately his delivery remains the same.I purchased a commercial audio rack and Neuance shelves shortly after the old thread di... | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? A yellow 45 with the theme song from the western series "Cheyenne". Can't remember what the flip side is.I won my second 45 (Elvis's "Blue Hawaii") @ my father's company picnic by driving a spike all the way into a 2x4 with 2 whacks of a hammer. T... | |
| O.K. Fess Up. Come Clean. Sing Like A Canary. I wake up every 20 minutes, or so, even when I'm not asleep, so the answer would be approx. 20 minutes. | |
| Interconnect to tame bright sounding CDP Get another CD player (that you enjoy the sound of). | |
| Best and Worst Websites in Audio'dom Best:1. mulletsgalore.com2. audioasylum.com3. audiogon.comI visit a couple other great specialty sites (geared towards single driver and/or high efficiency speakers), but figure the above 3 to be real crowd pleasers. | |
| Mapleshade Cables Hi Joe:The Mapleshade cables I've used/tried were the double Helix digital cable (it's currently on loan to a friend as I no longer use an external DAC) and their power cords.I like/liked the digital cable. The power cords did not work out with th... |
