| Transcriptors Platter & Belt Google Transcriptors. They're still in business and offer spares on their website. Good luck, Dave | |
| Is it the Windex? It's probably the paper towels, but the Windex isn't helping. Geez! If he's the nicest guy in the world, try to get him to stop damaging his LPs. | |
| TT mat suggestions... I went from a Ringmat to a Boston Audio and tried two thicknesses of the Herbies mat along the way, with side trips to various DIY mats and that (IMHO) gawdawful shelf-liner stuff. The Boston Audio currently reigns supreme on my replinthed Lenco, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, thanks for the response. Hope you get to try a modern Decca some time soon. That Pickering I mentioned (a P-mount, BTW, but it comes with an adapter) is now in the systems of 4 audiophile friends on my recommendation and they seem to agree w... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I don't see any mention of the various Decca cartridges and wonder about your view of them. I keep coming back to my Decca Super Gold Mk VII and (second choice) Pickering TL-2S (Stereohedron stylus), the latter available NOS for a very reaso... | |
| choice of pre amp My Calypso replaced a CJ Premier 17LS2 (the model with teflon caps) and I couldn't be happier. The CJ was a fine preamp but the Calypso is a revelation. I frankly bought it because it offered polarity switching via the remote (I was tired of switc... | |
| Who is your favorite jazz pianist I can't believe I forgot Bill Charlap, Hank Jones, and Kenny Barron in my list up above. Probably lots more too (I'm limiting to pianists still alive; at least I hope so). Dave | |
| Who is your favorite jazz pianist Too many great ones out there: Keith Jarrett, Brad Meldau, Enrico Pieranunzi, John Taylor, Bobo Stenson, Ray Bryant, Paul Bley, Tord Gustavsen, Jessica Williams, Bill Mays, Larry Willis, McCoy Tyner, Frank Kimbrough, John Coates .. and that's just... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine Re the longevity issue, I got 20+ years out of my first Nitty Gritty and 3+ out of its (Record Doctor) successor. For that matter, the first one still works, but I figured it couldn't last forever and the second one cost just $85 here on Audiogon. | |
| Video of Man Making Tubes From Scratch ... Absolutely fascinating. But if i never hear "The Man I Love" again, it will be too soon :-) | |
| VPI SDS for 78s Mine couldn't, but maybe I just didn't know the secret :-) | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? Personally, I hear polarity differences almost as strongly on CDs as on LPs, with the most pronounced effects on reel-to-reel tapes. I have no idea why. I agree with you about the lack of hum and noise on current vs. vintage (50s) equipment being ... | |
| Dampers: Small Tube Big Tube? There's also the fact that power tubes tend to run VERY hot and many dampers can't handle the heat. The ones from Herbies are an exception. | |
| Record Cleaning Machine Just a couple comments re Markd51's comment about the Nitty Gritty. I can scrub discs just fine on mine. Can't imagine wanting to bear down on them more than I already do. And I never spill anything when I flip them, but I have to confess I used t... |
