| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" WOW what? If one might ask. | |
| So I bought a WallyScope... I have two USB microscopes, one better than the other for this job. My experience is similar to yours: I can spend ages adjusting, measuring and finally getting it 'right' - but then realising that 'right' is just the starting point as listening a... | |
| Can you pick out what is what? Sure you can spice things up with fancy circuitry or tubes etc, but ultimately, they don’t necessarily sound better, but different, as has been said an abundance of times. Remembering that better is different from worse..... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" In the UK the saying is that 'there are many ways to kill a cat.' I find that the cat gets skinned when the same sentiment is expressed here in north America (superficially that sounds kinder, but one hopes the cat was killed prior to skinning.😕) ... | |
| Grado Epoch 3 Autograph or autograft? I know about allografts, since I now have German blood (I feel an urge to mimic Dr Strangelove there). Whichever matters not. I don't think I'll ever hear an Epoch 3, I only know that the cheapest member of the Lineage ser... | |
| Grado Epoch 3 @mijostyn if by iliac crest autographs you mean bone marrow aspiration/biopsy I know exactly what you mean. | |
| Grado Epoch 3 @mijostyn TKRs are rather painful, so I hope you will soon be able to be home and soothed by some excellent music! | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Do you have no comprehension the relationships between England and France over the Centuries. Have you forgotten all your History lessons. 1066. Once again, we need an ignore button. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Absolutely right, @lewm, but combined with: I just can't imagine what kind of contamination you are encountering on these records that requires alcohol for removal. it is obvious to all that alcohol (of any chain length) isn't much good as a w... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Wizzzard, please read my post again. No physician in the UK is technically a doctor, unless he or she has done an MD. Yet all are called 'doctor' as a courtesy (it refers to their post rather than a qualification). Once a would be surgeon, or obst... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Actually, @lewm , in the UK surgical specialists are ’Mister’ in a nod to their barber-surgeon past, but non-surgical physicians are called ’Doctor.’ Now the funny thing is this, they get called doctor only by courtesy, as the three forms of medic... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" There's an awful lot of 'post removed' going on in this thread. I must have missed all the good/bad bits. It is true that vacuum drying is better than air drying as evaporation is going to leave the suspended dirt on the record. Even so, assuming... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Notes from a previous life: benzalkonium chloride is used in sore throat lozenges and spermicidal creams. Maybe we shall see nonoxynol-9 used on LPs one day (a new way of "being careful" with your records)? | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? I was going to suggest a used NAD 3020 integrated, as I have no experience of, and little trust in, powered speakers, but then I read your statement that no used equipment should be suggested. OK, we can agree to disagree. So here's a freebee: do... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" The recipe above is 22% of 95% ethanol, which ends up as: 0.95 x 220 = 209ml pure ethanol in 780ml + 11ml (the 5% of Everclear that is water) = 791ml water, which is 26.4% ethanol in the final solution. The only reason not to use a higher volume... |
