| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Maybe I’ll just stick to using Disc Doctor cleaner on a VPI 16.5 with Mobile Fidelity brushes, rinsing twice with distilled water. A Monks or Loricraft would be safe choice relative to the unknown potential damage of KLAudio and AudioDesk (and has... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning terry9 The Kirmuss interview of his US is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKT5fvJ_otk starting at 45:25 Maybe the larger cavitation bubbles are necessary for 78s as is the lower temperature and greater distance between discs mentioned to be f... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning I've purchased ebay records where the seller used the KLAudio. The records are nearly mint; however, they are missing their highs. Multiple copies (I've given six of them as gifts cleaned on a VPI 16.5) of the AMERICAN PERCUSSION SOCIETY PRICE... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses I love Soupy Sales (Pooky was a lion and Hippy was a hippo-no squirrels). I have a nice collection of his 60’ shows and the complete 77-78’ shows. My wife prefers when we watch Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Charley Chase. I add Laurel & Hard... | |
| High End is Dead? I am lucky to have both a dedicated listening room and a living room with music. The listening room includes seating for 5 people between the speakers and the ability to add more chair listening. (That’s why I don’t want speakers that are directio... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses kosst - I was an attorney (Southwestern 79') and for 32 years, a commercial real estate appraiser. I had to extract from the collected data an opinion of value or utility of the property (highest and best use). I consider my former profession to... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning I have about 25,000 LPs. I've noticed that the LPs I cleaned 20 to 30 years ago using a stiff brush and Torumat fluid on a VPI 16.5 sound as good and clean as when I first cleaned them. I'm playing them on a VPI VI/SME IV (mod)/Benz Ruby 3. No ... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning I noticed that the Rushton cleaning method also limits the water temperature and the cavitation frequency. It could be that his solution is important for better results. This is an experiment I'm willing to try. He also uses a VPI 16.5 to dry ... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning I like the Kirmuss Audio cleaner because it uses a lower frequency (35Khz), lower temperature (95 degrees), common fluid (distilled water and a touch of alcohol), proper spacing for cleaning (Cleaner Vinyl Pro stack doesn’t permit cavitation bubbl... | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? cb5300. I mentioned $55,000 to $60,000 speakers I'm interested in. I have been using Focuses for the past 18 years and Signature IIIs for 16 years in another room. Those Legacy speakers have a wide seating/listening area instead of the very dir... | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? Those Bache Audio Triangles look impressive. My next speaker will probably be either an Einstein, Von Schweikert VR55 aktive or Lumenwhite top speaker. I have to audition the first two before I make a decision. The latter is also very efficient... | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? 400-500 hour break-in period. I wonder how manufacturers can tell when their design (or new design) sounds good unless they wait of two week continuous use prior to knowing what the speaker will sound like. Anyone know how the manufacturer knows... | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? Has anyone compared the Tekton DE SE to GoldenEar Reference? Getting rid of Kef Blade 2 for these is a major statement. | |
| High End is Dead? I don't understand the proliferation of new turntables/arms at this year's AXPONA and Munich last year. I just saw two new $23,000 turntables w/arms from Einstein and Thales (the former's first turntable). I think Levinson just came out with a ... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses I would prefer if manufacturers used circuit breakers instead of fuses. My 2 phono stages and 2 of 3 pre-amps are unfused. Only my CD players and amps are fused. I've heard my amps with SR blue fuses and the same amps with circuit breakers inst... |
