| CLEAN RECORDS WITH WHAT????? Geez: I have gone through a couple gallons of a mix (similar to what Frank uses but sans Photo Flow) in the past two months cleaning 600 or so LP's. I clean them by hand (no machine) and do not reuse the fluid. I also clean the brush with electric... | |
| Turntable choice: Thorens TD145 or Rega Planar 2 The hum on the Thorens may not be that easy to repair if the tone arm wires are compromised inside the arm. It may just be the external ground wire (which is attached to either the right or left channel IC, can't remember which) and if this is the... | |
| Is it just me or has A-gon become a high dollar I purchased over 100 mint LP's in the past week alone ranging in price from 50 cents to $1 each and have probably picked up 600 or so LP's in the past year. They are not all audiophile pressings, of course, but some are Shaded Dogs, Living Stereo,... | |
| What is the purpose of I am one of those "thin" wire people. There are also obscenely expensive IC's and speaker cables that use such thin wire and, of course, more reasonably priced ones. Even though I prefer thinner cable in general (the largest that I use, other than... | |
| Parts Connection - Now where do I find parts? But, so what, if they will be stocking and selling parts online for reasonable prices? Isn't this what it is all about? I will check them out once the new catalog is out. | |
| Rat Shack SPL meter calaibration I am pretty sure that the RS adjustments are archived in the FAQ section @ Audioasylum.com | |
| Inexpensive Amp and Speakers If you have local thrift/resale shops keep checking them out for receivers (they average $20-$40 in my area - LA) and I even run across ones from NAD from time to time. You will need to take along interconnects and speaker cables to test them @ th... | |
| Acoustic Guitar CD Recording/track to test Spkrs? Easy to find is the Clapton "Unplugged" CD (which I use for this test). I use track 13 (think that's it) because it also has a well recorded piano solo (kills two birds with one stone). I have even better recordings but prefer this one as I am ver... | |
| Need replacement for garden hose Audio Advisor Gumby D: Good luck on finding it used (some have purchased leftover portions, of whole kits, this way). I would love to pick up additional OTA as well to replace the internal wiring in some old components (it makes great hookup wire, though is a b... | |
| Small Room, Move Often, Speaker Suggestions. APV: Thanks for the info. I am using the Twins right now but will eventually want something more efficient for the living room. | |
| Need replacement for garden hose Audio Advisor Glen: I have never tried a balanced version as I do not have a need for one. Guess I deleted the digital cable pic in error when I was loading photos for my wife's Ebay stuff? The digital cable no longer exists anyway as I ended up using the cable... | |
| Need replacement for garden hose Audio Advisor Glen: I still need to see if the cable "floats". Thanks for reminding me. | |
| Small Room, Move Often, Speaker Suggestions. APV: What is the price (US) of the Amaze? | |
| Need replacement for garden hose Audio Advisor 47 Labs OTA cable. I have been using it over a year now for speaker cable and IC's. Try a searching the word(s) "Sakura" and/or OTA for more info. | |
| labratory tube amplifiers / wolcot amps I recall these amps being listed on Ebay some time back, but that is all that I know about them (the jist of the listing was like your story). Probably more deadly than the amps are the mail/parcel carriers and if you ship them take special care w... |
