| Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner The amount of misinformation in this thread is INCREDIBLE but not surprising. The KLAUDIO instructions specify NO DISTILLED WATER. It recommends either TAP or bottled water, though there’s reverse osmosis that’s demineralized (Aquafina) and R.O. t... | |

| 3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢 Edgewear is simply jealous. He’s not heard any of these turntables but he’s eager to call wealthy people fools. That’s interesting. The ones I’ve met are damn smart and not easily fooled. | |
| 3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢 BTW: I never use phrases like “LAST WORD” or words like “STATEMENT”. Those are reserved for hack writers who sit “SLACK JAWED” to products that “RAISE THE BAR” etc. | |
| 3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢 BTW your Platterspeed chart is a 30 second test thus smooothing out the visual result. I make sure to always take a 60 second sample | |
| 3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢 I am careful to state that these Platterspeed measurements are for “entertainment purposes only”. All test records are faulty as are all records to one degree or another yet I much prefer records to all digital formats. That said, I use the same 7... | |
| are "LONDON" pressings made in the UK, inferior to the Decca pressings Despite what's claimed by some so-called "authorities" these Londons and Deccas are identical other than different labels and packaging. Stereophile has published a Decca order sheet showing X number of Deccas and X number of Londons pressed at th... | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge I just happened upon these comments. They are so absurd I don't know where to start. Ortofon made a mistake. Has anyone here ever made a mistake? I should have known the answer, which is "no", we are all perfect. The mistake was an issue with the ... | |
| Thales Simplicity tonearm review in Stereophile. I just happened to come upon this thread. Pretty funny IMO! So many misconceptions about me, and about the Thales review. It turned out the bearings in the review sample had issues. In fact Mr. Huber changed the bearing technology used in the arm... | |
| Michael Fremer's record cleaning process.... Why does recommending the mono "Revolver" have to do with those other Beatles albums? That I do not understand. This is not a competition among Beatles albums is it? In other news, I hope no one ever "bows down" to anything I write! It is simply m... | |
| Michael Fremer's record cleaning process.... There are some silly posts here in need of correction/clarification:First of all, I never wrote that the KLAUDIO machine "pits" records.

| Pickup SRA - starting from a 500x microscope The angle at which the stylus is inserted into the cantilever varies greatly from sample to sample of even the best made and QC'd cartridge. This can be verified using a USB microscope. Setting the arm parallel to the record surface tells you noth... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Wow, this has gone on for so long, I'm amazed. First of all the claim that there was an impedance mismatch between my darTZeel preamp and the Bryston amp I reviewed is absolutely FALSE. Please show me that.Secondly, I stand by every word of my Mar... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Thanks for such an entertaining thread of contradictions and non-insults. Glad to know I'm "irrelevant" and of course Stereophile "only publishes positive reviews" and then when it publishes a negative one, people get so upset. I am not a "guru" a... |
