| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm And as much as I publicly denigrate unbelievable tweaks and hacks, if something is not easily measured, our own ears have to decide. We remember, most of us, that ears are affected by psychoacoustics. And even if you can't measure the effect of a ... | |
| What is the best way to clean Vinyl? You can't actually go wrong with a SpinClean. You certainly can with an ultrasonic machine. The cheapest one that we know to be safe and effective on LPs is the Humminguru. If you want to repurpose one of those devices used in the (admittedly fasc... | |
| Can I get more out of my Koetsu ? Re blank vinyl calibration record: I think one might use an old CD that way! Although I do have some old DG albums that take up three sides of two disks. The last side, that says in German, something like "Achtung! No musik recorded here!" does ... | |
| phono cartridge help Grado Prestige Series's is an easy recommendation. A positive thing about the Grado cartridges is that they are moving- iron and consequently not affected by cable capacitance And the Nagaoka is moving iron too, although they point out their ca... | |
| What is the best way to clean Vinyl? That's your choice - more effort with maybe slightly better results, or less effort and perhaps less good. As I said, lots of people use an U/S machine alone. | |
| Phono Pre Gain I wouldn’t begin to worry about 2db. Sometimes we overthink things. And since I'm running in a Bronze at the moment for its ancestor, the Kontrapunkt C, I have to say it sounds marvellous, even after <10 hours. I'm currently alternating sides ... | |
| Humminguru S-DUO You do you etc.... I'd be delighted for the magic eraser/onzow users to post before and after pictures. I have always used a carbon fibre brush (and I can't recall whether it was one that came with a Benz Micro or an Ortofon, but they both look t... | |
| Humminguru S-DUO Curious, I bought an SSL certificate for the site and if I right click and copy image link it does show as an https address. But lets throw them up on Flickr: Filthy: Cleaned: How's that? | |
| What is the best way to clean Vinyl? It seems like one cheap enough to fit your budget, and would certainly do a creditable job. Sure we can throw criticisms at the Humminguru, but for the price it does more than anyone has a right to expect. Lots of people use it alone, with no mec... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! Try to keep an open mind, it might surprise you. A mind so open your brains fall out? | |
| The best plug in filter ever! Angry? Not at all. You mistake objectivity for an emotion. But that's up to you. Unless it makes you wonder, just a little bit, whether you have been taken in. And again, that's up to you to decide. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm And no one wants to talk about "trucking errors"? No doubt we should all take ourselves less seriously. Especially when language errors are at play. | |
| The best plug in filter ever! What I have noticed that a few hours after applying the NPS-1260 to the blades on the Puron the sound got kinda dark sounding. But today everything is great! So, there was some sort of reaction. Do you really believe that a solution applied to ... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm The answer is plain. An infinitely long tonearm (or, as my physics mentor used to say with a nod to Newton and Liebnitz, "as near as makes no difference" in a strong Yorkshire accent), with no offset and it's one and only null point set near the l... | |
| What is the best way to clean Vinyl? Wet cleaning generally reduces static. However, if you dry a disk with a microfibre cloth you may introduce static then. I don't worry about it as I always treat a record before playing it with either a Zerostat gun or, lately, the Furutech Destat... |
