| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Here is a very good pdf - 200pages - on cleaning records. Including formula for cleaner - both manual and using US RCM. I am about 100p into it, just providing this as part of the discussion. YMMV of course. https://thevinylpress.com/precisio... | |
| concrete (cinder) block tower with wood chopping block for turntable stand som random thoughts .... - lousy WAF - I think others have said this - try it, its cheap - fill the holes with sand - messy, but it will deaden it for sure - a company in Toronto sells rubber/cork/rubber blocks pretty cheap - I can look them u... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? just got a copy of Daniel Barenboim Mozart Piano Concertos - 12 LPs. Finally got thru all 12 of them on Sunday. WOW. Great sound and great music. EMI/Decca in about 1960 I think. And Beethoven 9 Symphonies with Karl Bohm conducting Wiener Sympho... | |
| Turntable recommendation very good question. I kept most of my records from the 60's and have about 1000 now. And agree with others, you will need a RCM at some point. I used to clean mine by hand - total PITA, even for an old retired guy. Even new records must be cleaned... | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops I agree with a couple of the other comments - clean ALL records in a US cleaner before playing - even new ones - you have no idea what gunk is on there from the pressing process. I am still amazed at the junk on the bottom of my US cleaner after c... | |
| Decware and “The List” I have had several Decware amps. Currently have their Torii Jr and Phono Preamp and also the DIY 8" open baffle speaker. Built the cabinets from their design and used their drivers. Could not be happier. Great company, great products and great sup... | |

| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. IMHO Acoustic Sounds gets a 10/10 and MoFi gets an 8-9/10. You also need to look for whoever did the mastering and the engineering on that particular record. I have found that Bernie Grundman, Doug Sax, Stan Ricker, Kevin Grey, Steve Hoffman, Jack... | |
| Preamp for VPI Prime 21 turntable $300-800 declare makes a very nice tube phono preamp. You can choose MM or MC step transformers. AND - made in USA. I have had one for my MM cartridge for several years. Very happy with it. |
