| I'm new to Step Up Transformers I have two low-output MI cartridges, one of 0.4mV output, which requires an MC input or external SUT, and the other with 1mV output sounds better that way (but could be connected via an MM input and the gain turned way up). I have three ways of d... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Undecillion is also used when penicillin doesn’t work. Here's me remembering spectinomycin 2g IM in that situation! | |

| Some thoughts on dust covers I'm not qualified to speak on static, but dust I do know about, especially with respect to inhaling it and the allergies it can cause. When you wrote, @lewm , "Shredded skin" does not strike me as an important cause, if it is any cause at all, o... | |
| HumminGuru vs.Degritter That was the original. The Nova model has a more powerful fan and can do either 3 or 6 minutes drying. | |
| HumminGuru vs.Degritter @larsman The Humminguru has the option of 5 or 10 minutes drying time. The Degritter offers a lot more, but costs several times as much. You have to decide whether the capabilities are worth the increased price. I bought the Degritter as the Humm... | |
| What should I look for when purchasing a quality album? I think the first step is to identify the piece of music you want to acquire, and if it's classical figure out which recording is the one you want (that's a musical issue, not an audiophile one). If not classical, there may only be one original re... | |
| Rumbly feedback I have used tonearm pods and each was mounted on three spikes to minimise transmission of vibration. Though when you mention it happens with the Wand but not the Brinkmann, it makes me wonder if it isn't simply the fault of the pod/pedestal, but s... | |
| Soundsmith Sussurro MkII or Dyna DRT-XV-1s I like the Sussurro MkII ES, and would consider a Hyperion if and when the time comes. It's not as pleasing to me as the London Reference, but more so than the LP-S. The XV-1s I have no experience with. | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm @lewm True, a 13" Viv is available, but so are 7" and 9". @drvinyl01 If the length has no consequences on playback, why do you think both VivLabs and Integrity Hi-Fi off various lengths? | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! Nonetheless, @mylogic , it makes an excellent brush for dusting off the platter! | |
| Can I play my stereo records on a mono rig? Just don't use a mono cartridge without vertical compliance (eg Miyajima models). You'll be fine with the Ortofon. I have a Benz Ruby 3 converted to mono, and it sounds good enough that I sometimes wonder if I should use it all the time, but then... | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm Curious to see an underhung arm that only comes in longer lengths than conventional offset arms. | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! A clean record is a different issue as to how one protects the turntable against dust accumulation. I go to considerable lengths to clean my disks, but neither of my turntables has a lid. However, I have rather a lot of shaving brushes(!) and I ha... | |
| Fidelity Research FRT-4 and Entre ET-100 step-up transformer SUT comparison Raul is on the record(!) as saying he disapproves of us being subjective and choosing what we like. |
