Is It Common For Questions About Gear For Sale To Go Unanswered? Do not buy from rude or uncaring sellers is a rule to live by. | |
KT66s in place of KT88 tubes Thanks, all. Time for me to talk to my tube guru. C. | |
Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops Hey, dogberry, Are you saying the Furutech Destat III is fake junk? ??? No, but there are Furutech products that I would classify that way. The Destat III is effective and expensive. The Milty Zerostat is a bit less effective, harder to use ... | |
How to Upload Photos in a post? It is pretty trivial to set up something like phpBB (I’m not an IT person, merely an amateur, and I recently set up a forum for CLL patient support), but the big thing is the loss of the existing posts. That is very hard to import. At best one cou... | |
How to Upload Photos in a post? Flickr is a bit complicated, as it loves to insert a junk URL that, essentially, advertises their site. Here's a photo of mine at Flickr: But to do that I had to go to the photo in my 'Photostream', click on it, click on the 'Share' icon (a cur... | |
How to Upload Photos in a post? The image must be hosted elsewhere on the web, not uploaded from your computer. It may already be on a web page, in which case you right click on it and copy the address, or hosted on your own server, or perhaps an image-hosting site like Flickr o... | |
Pro-ject vs Rega I know that Rega sounds best with their own cartridges And how would you know that? They couldn't sound better with the best cartridges around (whatever 'best' means)? I rebooted my vinyl life with a Planar 3, RB300 arm and a Shure V15xMR som... | |
I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts. I’ve been cleaning records for ~17 years. VPI, then Nitty Gritty, and then Loricraft, which was so good I stuck with it alone for eleven years. The I added a Degritter to use after the Loricraft. I’m quite confident in saying record cleaning is th... | |
Pro-ject vs Rega You bring in a variable (an included cartridge) that makes it all hard to answer. In general, I would prefer Rega over Pro-Ject for the table/arm combo.* Picking a cartridge is another question, and getting a good deal because it is included isn’t... | |
Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops Look, jj, even clean records can have static. Two separate issues. Cleaning is the biggest benefit. After that, deal with static. The best way known to mankind is, sadly (one does not like to support a company selling fake junk), the Furutech De... | |
What speakers work with low wattage class A amps I've used both 90dB/Watt and 86dB/Watt speakers with 15W amps perfectly well. Unless you want to destroy your hearing, you don't have to find ultra-sensitive speakers to enjoy low wattage amps. | |
Tube amps - what 3 things… Unless you are unlucky, trying tube amps will not result in you going back to SS. Cary Audio used to have a kit division, Audio Electronic Supply, and it disappeared as soon as Dennis Had retired. Presumably it was too good a bargain. I had their... | |
Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops jj, if I may be familiar, this is your third thread on the subject. May I suggest you get your Humminguru and then proceed from there? I do mean this in the friendliest way, as you have had the advice of all of us several times over. There's littl... | |
Seeking Recommendations For A Record Cleaner I think a Humminguru will do a better job than one of the cheaper vacuum machines. You'd have to go to a point-source machine (Keith Monks, Loricraft) to approach U/S levels of clean. | |
Concrete Slabs @lak Out of curiosity is there anything inside your 400lb 17th-century oak chest? It's a cupboard chest, so rather than a hinged lid it has two doors on the front, there is a vertical divider up the middle and a shelf on each side. One side has... |
