| Cat Stevens Tea for the Tillerman LP's I sold my MOFI copy after A/B with an original US pressing.This has been the case with about 90% of early/original vs MOFI.The oldies but goodies are out there for reasonable $$. | |
| For Fans of Bruno Walter's "Indian Summer" VERY interesting. Would love to hear one of these pressings. | |
| Dynavector XV-1s loading question. So what's the problem? | |
| MFSL Super Deep Cleaner or Enzyme? I agree that an enzyme cleaner does not take the place of a "standard" detergent type cleaner. I use the enzyme cleaner on the records that appear to need it and follow with L'Art du Son - my fave after trying many other cleaning fluids including ... | |
| MFSL Super Deep Cleaner or Enzyme? "Commercial" enzyme cleaner:SPORICIDIN I've used ALL of the "approved" LP enzyme cleaners. Their performance ranged from very good to bad. Sporicin mixed 1 oz. to one quart of distilled/filtered water works BETTER than ANY of them and at a small f... | |
| Tweaking the Magnepan 1.7s I thought the general consensus is that the 1.6 sound better than the 1.7. I've heard this from a number of people INCLUDING a local dealer who's handled Maggies for over 30 years. Why then are people dumping 1.6 to go to the 1.7??? | |

| EAR 834P Impedance? Dan was referring to all of the (mis)information that is out there. I experimented with my K & K Premium SUT and when loaded @ 122 ohm the frequency balance it produced when plugged into the 834P was VERY similar to what I heard with the EAR i... | |
| EAR 834P Impedance? I asked the manufacturer for a definitive answer to the question.From Dan Meinwald of EAR USA:Many people speak without the knowledge to to back up their statements. | |
| EAR 834P Impedance? Yes Mike, that's it.Doak | |
| SUT shootout Amen to the previous posts targeting the importance of the load a SUT is presenting to the cartridge in front of it. I recently acquired a K & K Premium SUT using Lundahl LL1931. It has solder sockets that allow relatively easy use of parallel... | |
| EAR 834P Impedance? Though this is a very old thread I want to share some info I've garnered recently that others may find useful:On Jun 26, 2010, at 1:22 PM, doak wrote:Greetings,I've owned and used my EAR 834P MM/MC version for several years. I am seeking a definit... |
