| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" This is off-topic and I apologise. The post that I reply to has been removed but was intemperate and insulting. I agree that "chirurgerie" is an archaism, and that most modern results for a search on the meaning of B.Ch. will show "chirurgie," bu... | |
| Furutech DeMaga v Acoustic Revive RL-30 Mk III LP Demanitizers Never used either, but I do like the typo in the title. A "demanitizer" sounds like something a lesbian would approve of! | |
| Changing panels in Quad Speakers You're welcome. I assume everyone who bought 2805/2905/2812/2912 speakers from early Chinese manufacture are running into the same problems. It would be a terrible shame to junk these lovely speakers for want of a repair guide. | |
| My turntable sounds like the speed is too slow Playing a 45RPM record at 33 1/3? I bet I'm not the only one with a new and unheard record who forgot to change the speed and thought it sounded strange... If you don't trust your cellphone app, maybe mark the platter, play a record and use th... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition Same price as an SME Model 60. If I had to choose between those two, I think the Linn would lose. | |
| MM or MI Cartridge? @mglik The kitty is probably empty after buying the Epoch 3, so this may be immaterial. John Wright sold his business at the last moment, and a few people have reported having Decca cartridges serviced satisfactorily by the new tech. There was eve... | |
| Changing panels in Quad Speakers They sound exactly as they used to do! The panels were ordered by the dealer who sold me the speakers, from the distributor, M0-Fi. Each was $399CDN. Installation cost me a six hour drive, gas for the truck, and $255CDN. The tech who did it took ... | |
| MM or MI Cartridge? The Nagaoka MP-500 is the closest sounding cartridge to my London Decca Reference. I have bought a couple of spare styli for it, plus a tonearm to mount it on. It's that good, and clearly beats the Grado Statement 3 and the SoundSmith Sussurro MkI... | |
| Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About? @elliottbnewcombjr I would have made one of the tonearms removable headshell. Yes, the M10 arm has a removable headshell (second photo of my tables, the arm at the back), and I have spare headshells with the Grado and Soundsmith cartridges mo... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Neil is our most reliable source. | |
| Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About? Thanks for the credit in the OP @elliottbnewcombjr, but I should note that whilst you might be the one that is 74, I am not, being a mere youngster of 65! Two tonearms? I had an expensive journey in that regard. I started it with an SME 10 turnta... | |
| Vacuuming after ultrasonic vinyl cleaning I do a point-source vacuum clean on a Loricraft machine, then use a Degritter. I let the Degritter dry the record, then put it back on the Loricraft for a distilled water rinse and dry. The issue with fan drying is static accumulation, plus the r... | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? Thank you, that makes some sense of it for me. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" My grandmother used to have a saying, very dated now: "Good manners cost nothing." | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? Can anyone explain how a brush might, theoretically, remove static? If the bristles were conductive and grounded I could see a mechanism, but not otherwise. That may be pure ignorance on my part! |
