And you would make it simple and perhaps not require a technician? How would you suggest getting around the stumbling block of the co... | |
| Humminguru record cleaner There you go: "the biggest upgrade" is how I put it. It doesn't have to be an ultrasonic machine, and all sorts of ways to skin a cat here. But a perfectly clean record is a joy to hear. | |
| Brag About Your Vinyl Collection It's all here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Faust_Tapes And here's what she did to the original inner sleeve: If you enlarge that you might be able to read the articles. Musically, it's not quite my cup of tea, but certainly listena... | |
| new Ortofon TA 110 or Vintage SAEC 308L I don't see how arms impart an audio characteristic. Wait for it..... | |

| VPI upgrade? I put the Sussurro back in today, on the end of the 309, for which I have a number of headshells. It sounds so much nicer through the SUT than it did via the MC input. I don't suppose I will ever buy a Hyperion, but I'll enjoy your reports vicario... | |
| USB Digitil microscope advice It's the quality of the stand as much as that of the 'scope. It has to be rock steady if you are to get images that aren't blurred. A heavy chemistry lab stand and flask clamp are as good as anything, and better than the flimsy stands that general... | |
