| What is the best way to clean Vinyl? I started out with the Pro Jet and found it to be very labor intensive. It did a great job but if I had several records to clean, I was there standing for a long time. I finally got the Klaudio and just slip the record into the machine and come ba... | |
| Want to add vinyl to my system. VPI junk??? Hardly..! | |
| Favourite Guitarists I am mostly a classical guitar listener. Alex Degrassi Will Ackerman Leo Kottke But the craziest guitarist I have ever heard is Joe Satriani playing Surfing with the Aliens...! | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? Too many but will add Brandi Carlile | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions @musicmatters1206 I have no idea if VPI has replacement motors for the HW-40 but they probably do. It is the most expensive part of the HW-40 I am told. FWIW I have an arm lifter on mine that works great. It is the Technics one but I cannot remem... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions I would also recommend the VPI HW-40. I have had mine for almost a year. It was a game changer for me. I immediately could tell that it was something special. Mine was new but I got a pretty good discount on it at the time. I have the Ortofon Cade... | |
| McIntosh Announces Mc451 Dual Mono Power Amplifier It's strange why some folks on this forum bash and hate McIntosh. I have owned McIntosh for many years and really enjoy my system. I might not care for some other brands but I do not bash or hate them especially when I have never heard them in use... | |
| VPI turntables When I bought my VPI it was way up the chain. It is the HW-40 which is direct drive and has the 12" gimbal arm. I have the Ortofon Cadenza Black and cannot be happier with the setup. | |
| Are mcintosh rca and xlr cables any good. I believe it is Tributaries as well. They are kind of pricey but if you search around you can usually find them used for a reasonable price. I do not own any but they seem well made. | |
| Stereophile Scamming Subscribers? I renewed my subscription about 4 months ago and for 4 months got two copies of Stereophile. I figured it was not the hassle to call them and complain. | |
| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track Growing up in the 60's the 8 track was all the rage. I also remember that leaving your tapes in your car for too long in hot Texas melted the the idler wheel in the cartridge and the unit ate your tape...! | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System One would think that a "Big Time Wilson Dealer" would have training from Wilson regarding setup of their product line for demonstration. | |
| Custom rack, isolation under platform vs component? Very nice looking rack. I built mine from 3/4" black pipe and butcher block and it is very sturdy. Thanks | |
| To all our Veterans here, Thank You! Thanks Army Reserves 1969-1975 | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? For me it was the McIntosh MT2 turntable. I am pretty much a Mc guy and thought this would be a perfect intro back into vinyl. While it is well built by ClearAudio, mine would have varying speed issues and I replaced the belt once but finally sold... |
