| which type of sink for record washing And wouldn't a ceramic sink make your records sound like you're using a ceramic cartridge? That's why I had a diamond one put in... | |
| VTA setting up.....how do I find level? Hi Patrick. Good tip about avoiding the raised rim. LP labels are often raised also, so they too must be avoided. Oy! Of course Risch's use for a lined card is not to square the cartridge body. We don't play music with that so why align it? Risch ... | |
| which type of sink for record washing Are you thinking of filling the sink with water and dunking the records in it? If so, don't. You'll just be transferring schmutz from one record to another. If you must use water, use the best distilled water you can find, spritz it onto the recor... | |
| Compare: Basis Debut, VPI TNT, top Teres tables Dan_ed,I wrote the response that Thomas just mentioned. Your interpretation is correct, but I should not have used sarcasm. My apologies to Thomas and to the forum in general if anyone was offended.Thomas,You emailed me asking what I meant. I did ... | |
| VTA setting up.....how do I find level? Good advice from all three posters above. The Jon Risch article referenced by Lugnut (I think the title is actually, "VTA once and for all!") is the best theoretical place to startRisch recommends a lined guide card just as Bob did.The approach ex... | |
| Say it aint so--- Teres quality question Sayas' theoretical speculations are interesting, I guess, but every person who's A/B'd a "stable" acrylic Teres against an "unstable" wood one has preferred the wood. There has never been a single exception. If my real world pleasure isn't consist... | |
| Cartridge Allignment Protractor--Systemdek/Profile The protractor at www.turntablebasics.com is designed to work with any table/arm. Just $20 and the next best thing to a $150 WallyTractor. Way better than paper/cardboard ones and free downloads. | |
| Say it aint so--- Teres quality question Patrick,Thank you for having the courage to post this publically, though I hope we Teres-philes have never been intimidating. I trust CB will replace the armboard with one of the proper height. After I got your email I checked my platter and it's ... | |
| Proper Use of Record Research Lab Cleaners Joshua,Thanks for kind words! ;) Perhaps Audiogon should open a language forum. After all, spoken or written language is just another transducer. Language converts my mental energy patterns into a physical medium for transportation to you, for con... | |
| Proper Use of Record Research Lab Cleaners I'm not sure the Rubbermaid pads are ideal for RRL fluids, they do hold alot of liquid. Bare nylon or carbon fiber bristles with no sponge would be best I think. Easier to clean. I'm going to try the Last brushes David uses. Let us know if you dec... | |
| Clueless and Seeking advice on TT purchase I second Twl's recommendation. If you can DIY a plinth this would be a great way to go. Search the recent threads here for two other guys that are doing this project now.The core of any TT is the bearing, and the Teres bearing is well beyond anyth... | |
| Proper Use of Record Research Lab Cleaners Thanks Brian. It's great to have your help here. Maybe I'll order 15K bottles right now and help you clear out those old labels!Thanks to 4yanx I already use the white painting pad sponge/brushes you mentioned, a seperate one for each solution. Wa... | |
| Proper Use of Record Research Lab Cleaners Hi Brian,First, let me say that I also love RRL fluids. I don't have a RCM yet, so I brush them on by hand, let them sit a minute, then vacuum off with a handheld wet vac. Is that okay?Second, are you suggesting that even a filthy record should no... | |

What's next, peace in the Middle East?Just kidding gentlemen. Cristos, we are truly humbled; and yes you should share. Email me for my shipping addr... | |
| Audiogon, Teres, OL Silver, Shelter, MU et al. "But, I tell you, there is magic in my room every time I touch the silver arm.
