| Record Cleaning brushes - experimentation? Here is a partial answer to my own question, based on some experimentation: Based upon some recommendations, I tried some Disc Doctor brushes. They are similar to the MoFi brushes, but a little easier to work with IF you are doing some scrubbing w... | |
| Record Cleaning brushes - experimentation? Oilmanmojo - Thanks much. So I'm clear, you consider the MoFi brush to be a "microfiber" brush? (I don't really know what "microfiber" means, to be honest.) The stiff microfibre brush that you use for wet cleaning, first step, is that a MoFi brush... | |
| Warmer CD sound sought - MCD 301 or 500 or REF CD7 I spent several years trying to warm up the sound of my system, particularly on the CD side. It's not easy. I was disapointed in the ARC "house" sound, but I have never had the CD7 in my home. I think the ARC house sound is kind of cool and analyt... | |
| Mahavishnu Orchestra fans...? Inner Mounting Flame and Birds of Fire woke a lot of us up back then, and I ended up in music school in a fusion band in part as a result. It was great while it lasted...So I second everybody else's view, and also agree with Ghostrider45 that you ... | |
| Two Arm Turntables I saw a Nottingham with 2 arms at a show, but don't know anything about it. In the long run, I'm on a similar search--I'd like to have easy access to a mono cartridge without having to have 2 turntables.Good luck. | |
| Did you ever take a step back Pops, I'm in complete agreement that the search for the linear holy grail can lead you straight into a point at which there are so few things you can listen to on your system (because so little source material can stand up to a mercilessly reveali... | |
| Audio Research SP-15, either stock or GNSC? Tonywinsc - Very nicely said about tubes vs transisters. More rounded and natural.It's awfully easy to forget that the real comparison should be with live music, not from one system or piece of gear to another.Cheers | |
| Audio Research SP-15, either stock or GNSC? I bought an LS-15 about 2 years ago and had GNSC rebuild it. All I can say is that I didn't like it, stock, and was quite surprised with how much difference Steve Huntley's mods made. Steve is very serious about building the sound from the bottom ... | |
| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse Chashmal - I appreciate your comments about Gould, and, in fact, Columbia is the first record label I was thinking of when I mentioned there were some labels from which I would just as soon listen to the CDs. I think Sony did a very nice job with ... | |
| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse Chashmal - Glad to run into anybody that appreciates Paul Jacobs' work. Great pianist. Yes, Nonesuch pressings can be problematic. I have multiple copies of the Paul Jacobs Lps that I could get hold of (mainly the Debussy titles), and those seemed... | |
| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse Curiosity: I think a couple of folks remarked to the effect that the Mo-Fi fluids leave residue. Where does notion come from? I was under the impression that the rinse took care of any residue. | |
| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse Markd51 - Good description of "safe" scrubbing (which I didn't describe). Also, I completely agree that a pre-cleaning dust-off of some kind is fully appropriate, and do so with and old VPI record brush (and usually a few Zerostat zaps to deal wit... | |
| bat vk3ix OR bat vk32se PAIRING bat vk55 I have a BAT VK32 and VK75. Neither are SE's. You can't tube roll in the SE's (as I understand it). To my ear, the non-SE's are much preferable to the SE's because BATs seem to work great for tube rolling, and NOS tubes, for most of us, sound bett... | |
| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse I got some good advice from a guy named Roger at Music Direct, who suggested I try MoFi when I started listening to vinyl again last year.On Lps with dirty pop/click grunge, I use the MoFi Super Deep Cleaning fluid. I also use a MoFi brush. I get ... | |
| Questions for Vandersteen 5A owners... Madfloyd - I owned Vandersteen 2ce sigs and 3a sigs, and have listened to the 5As a number of times. Don't mistrust your ears--in my experience, the 3A sigs and the 5A's can sound annoyingly bright. Operative word: "can". Personally, I think ARC g... |
