| Amp Stands - Wood or Stone +1 @bdp24 - I use a sandwich of granite from my local kitchen counter shop + leftover 3/4" oak + the acoustic wall damp material. I think technically you are supposed to use 2 different materials separated by the acoustic damping material - there ... | |
| Amp Stands - Wood or Stone +1 bdp24 - I used granite from my local kitchen counter place + leftover 3/4" oak + a sandwich of acoustic wall damp in between the two. For me, it tightened up the bass + it does work when I rap on it with my knuckles - ie no noise thru speakers.... | |
| Speakers or Turntable upgrade @grislybutter - ah yes, but think how good your 'garbage' would sound if it had clean(er) garbage coming in. | |
| Speakers or Turntable upgrade Bit of a philosophical question. I am a big believer of garbage in = garbage out. So if the signal going in to your speaker sux, then the sound coming out will suck. Someone did a survey a while ago, and my GIGO is definitely in the minority. | |

| Classical Vinyl - Telefunken label - can anyone educate me here? @mahler123 Thanks! Discogs has a lot of interesting info on Teldec, Telefunken vinyl and the Decca relationship. Strange bedfellows as they say, esp after WW2. | |
| Classical Vinyl - Telefunken label - can anyone educate me here? yeah - did some more homework this morning. Discogs actually has a ton of info and it answered all my questions. Thanks. | |

I used the material that @bdp24 mentioned, and sandwiched that material between oak and granite from my local kitchen counter store. My amp and pre-amp and TT are sitting on those, which, ... | |
| Record cleaning and realistic expectations @chasjs - read the same article. excellent. but yeah, long and incredibly detailed. | |
| Record cleaning and realistic expectations @jasonbourne71 : Tap water is bad for records! It is loaded with minerals! Use only steam distilled water! I buy mine at my nearby supermarket - $1.39 a gallon. About dogs - they shed not only hair but dandruff. It’s there even if not easily visib... | |
| Need A High Compliance Cartridge I just purchased a London Decca Super Gold. No idea what the compliance is and no idea what your budget is, but the sound is incredible. Cost is around $3k - if its anywhere near your budget I would highly suggest checking it out. The design is to... | |
| List Of Small Company Tube Amps many + for Decware - yes, the waiting list is WAY long post-covid. I got an amp pre-covid and it was about 6 weeks from order to ship. I have been a customer for about 20 years. Can't say enough good things about Steve and his company. | |
| Record cleaning and realistic expectations I always thought mold was green, but in any case, I think an ultrasonic machine might help. I have a CleanerVinyl Ultrasonic RCM. About 10 years now, I think. I have about 1500 records and ALL have been through the RCM at least once. A handful hav... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR ++++1 bdp24 - totally agree that you HAVE to look at who did the mastering. For re-mastered versions of whatever on whatever label, I always look. My personal fav is Stan Ricker. - he did Gino Vanelli; Miles Davis and many, many others - Discogs h... | |
