| Can I clean my records manually? Truth is, I would buy an expensive RCM in a heartbeat if I had the cash. Too bad for me. I have been thinking of at least getting the KAB so I don't have to spin by hand at least.And to echo the original poster: "Am I that ignorant? Please, let me... | |
| Can I clean my records manually? Gregadd,my DIY method uses a vacuum so there sotesibly no dirt left on the record. I think a Loricraft would be more elgant less arduous way to go.You funny: "If you enjoy tinkering more than listening to music by all means build your own."Yeah, I... | |

| Best budget cartridge pool might as well go for the Denon DL-160 Cartridge at only a few bucks more. | |
| MC vs MM - phono cartridge high output moving coils can be used in moving magnet phon sections [say 39db+ gain]. The Denon DL-160 is under $200 and should last 2-3 years with good vinyl/stylus hygiene. Denon does offer retipping for that model. it inexpensive enough to buy ... | |
| Good way to dampen tonearm? I have used tape that given to me last year. Not sure if it is Teflon or something else, but i ran the tape from the 'headshell' to just above where the bearing housing is and it made an improvement. Things became clearer, it cured a bit of tensen... | |
