| Proper Ground for Tonearm and Turntable I gave up all forms of brushes as a means to clean my LP's just before playing them Zerostats weren't all that effective. after a static charge cost me a $300 turntable motor, I decided something else had to be better. I've since gone to compresse... | |
| Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise? Having used lesser TT's in my college days, and even then I used the old "Dishwasher" velvet log before every play. Only the worst scratches were bothersome in those days.But, hey when you move up to better gear, Guess What?, noisy LP's can be a ... | |
| KLAudio is stopping production of their Ultrasonic record cleaner. Wow, what a bummer!! I'd stock up on parts if I knew which ones to get.I bought mine a while back hoping to ditch my Loricraft. And after extensive testing, I found that the KLA was no match for the Loricraft for first wash. BUT, what really came... | |
| Audio Research PH7 I have been using a PH7 since 2009, having had a PH5 before that. Mine developed an issue with either a cold solder joint or a weekend solder joint and so on occasion I get a loud hum when first turned on. I know where I have to push on the board... | |
| Melco N1A: AIFF Transfers and Cover Art Thanks for the reply, there's a lot to digest. Album art is in a sep. folder from the music files but within iTunes folder. The file names are just letters, numbers and not viewable. I believe that Melco uses their own software (Linux based) for ... | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? Yeah, I'm not even going to tell you about all the problems I've had to overcome re: EM/RF from nearby high intensity power lines. Needless to say tubes have been my savior. Every SS phono has been defeated and I've tried plenty. Since my pream... | |
| Miyajima Zero hum? I have the Miyajima Mono ZERO and had hum issues but I was told to expect this since, I believe, the L/R channel utilize the same neg. pole internally. As far as I understand a "true" mono cartridge will do this when connected to a stereo preamp. ... | |
| would a shelter 501 work well in a michell tecnoarm? I'm not sure how much better the Techno Arm is vs. OL 250. I would find it hard to believe that it would change things as much as you'd want. I don't think the Michell arm eff. mass will be that much better than the OL 250. Did you buy the 501 f... | |
| Klyne vs 47 Labs phono stage I've tried a Klyne( 6 or 7)?, and had tried many other phono preamps including the Niam 52's own phono boards. The Naim was better than anything else compared to it. Then I tried the Klyne and fell in love. It remains one of the best I've heard. ... | |
| Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it? Greetings,I can't comment on the PH6 but I have experience with the PH5 and PH7. I still use the PH7 and really like it. I would choose it over the PH8 because it works better for my needs, i.e., it allows me to tube roll with all its tube types. ... | |
| Phantom II to Supreme Upgrade: Cost? Yeah,I've emailed both with no reply, hence the posted question here! | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions Another question- When people mention leaving the Stillpoints slightly loose, is that at the top where they connect to the TT or at the bottom for leveling? | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions *Warning* a tad lengthy!I had another lesson in Raven ownership the other day. I just could not get over how slow the perceived pace of LP's sounded. Everything sounded as if it were being played as a funeral march and I was hearing what sounded l... | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions Thanks for the tips. The slate is a stop gap measure until I can find something better. It can't be worse (can it?) than the single sheet of MDF it's on now. I have it atop a Naim Fraim set, which are designed less for mass loading and more toward... | |
| Orbe/Phantom: Acrylic Arm Board Anyone? It certainly depends upon who you talk to re: wether the Orbe/Phantom will /does work. Michell says "yes" and many in England love it. While Artech, says "no." In either case both claim that you need the special acrylic arm board that Michell crea... |
