| Vinyl & Cartridge Cleaners For stylus cleaning, using Dougdeacon's recommmended process for employing the "Magic Eraser", try slitting the eraser vertically at 2-3mm intervals across its width. | |
| Lotus cleaning system oxygenated water for LP's? Reading the original post, I think "adding a third oxygen to water..." is not what Emailists intended. Looks like whatever this product is, it is generating ozone (O3). O3 is a powerful oxidizer. Stronger than chlorine. It would be present as a di... | |
| Has anyone heard this Cd Qdrone - I hadn't heard of this CD but intend to look for it. I have Joan's first and like it a lot. Should have more of her material. I'm not opposed to country - tho' I tend to shy away from the more commercial products (or at least what I perce... | |
| Powering On/Off Tube CD Player Jolida JD-100 Hershon - can't argue with turning the MF X10 V3 tube buffer off when not in use. There have been reports of amp damage based on that initial "sound" put out by the V3 so I'd recommend powering it up and allowing time to stablize in advance of tur... | |
| Powering On/Off Tube CD Player Jolida JD-100 Just a caution on the MF tube buffer...Power it up in advance of your amp. Give it several minutes to stabilize (say 15 - I'm probably erring on the side of caution), then switch on your amp. I have read here of cases where the MF at start up give... | |
| new eagles album Nrchy - are you kidding?Sonically, live "Hell Freezes Over" is amazing. Songs on "Desperado" are great - as with other albums.Curious where you're coming from. | |
| Affordable Power Cords Consider the DIY route. See Parts Express for an easy to follow procedure (plus the necessary parts). | |
| what kind of audiophile are you ? I think I fit best in whatever cateory Leedistad's, Mrjstark's, and Timrhu's comments suggest. I want a system that makes good sounds at an affordable price. Accuracy,instrumental realism etc don't interest me as much as the music itself and the "... | |
| Hifi Tuning Fuses Douglas S. - Note past tense; emphasis on "HAD been very skeptical....". I've definitely come around in my opinion about cables. No opportunity to do A/B testing where I am but based on reviews (I have found TNT Audio to be really helpful) and aff... | |
| Hifi Tuning Fuses I purchased one from The Cable Co. for my JoLida 502B. I didn't really expect to hear an improvement and was surprised that I did. I'd made some other changes around the same time so wasn't altogether what to attribute to the fuse. More recently, ... | |
| Loud bad noises Replaced the Cambridge CDP with a Sony from the home theater. After ~2 hrs the static/zipping noise was back. It's not the CD laser. Next up, need time to replace the digital cable see if that might be the problem. 2ndarily pull out the tube buffe... | |
| Loud bad noises Thanks again to everyone.Satch - haven't pulled out the MF tube buffer just yet. That was my first suspect as some older threads had indicated noise from this piece. After some futher communication with A'gon posters - I don't think what I'm exper... | |
| Loud bad noises Thanks all. I will try these "maintenance" suggestions on the CDP. Not to string out this thread but I did switch out the Cambridge for a Sony DVD/CD player I had in the home theater. Twice last night on start up of a disk or track I heard a brief... | |
| Loud bad noises Will do Eldatford. I almost hope it is the CDP. Just bought the DAC used and don't want to think it was faulty or is now faulty. | |
| Loud bad noises Celtic66 - Thanks for the response. The Cambridge does have some years on it. Do you think a laser failing is more likely than a malfunction of the DAC? The noise is centered, coming from both channels simulaneously. I was concerned the DAC wasn't... |
