| What happened to Discwasher? http://www.audioadvisor.com/store/productdetail.asp?sku=SUP32&product_name=Record%20Cleaning%20SolutionUse this. Pour it into the D4 bottle. There is nothing sacred about D4. | |
| Spindle oil Don't use motor oil. Motor oil is too thick. It's designed to work inside a pressurized system. | |
| Spindle oil xiekitchen- yes, your rega needs a lube job periodically. My P2 made a popping sound eventually. Rega told me to relube it with 2 drops of gear oil. The old oil had turned into black, dirty sludge. Poor lubrication stresses the belt and motor. | |
| Spindle oil SAE 80W90 is recommended by Rega. It's available at the hardware store (gear lubricant at ACE) 2 drops into the spindle. First, clean spindle and bearing with alcohol and dry with soft cotton rag. | |
| Opinions on Audio Research SP5 Pretty old now, isn't it? May need to be rebuilt. I had an SP-6 that was modified to remove protection circuitry. It was a tube pre-amp, which I used with a SS amp. Incredible. | |
| How old is too old ?.... The Silverline Sonata is an outstanding bargain and one of the most musically satisfying speaker systems on the market a compelling musical rightness from top to bottom superbly finished Buy these, just listen to the music, and forget about... | |

| How old is too old ?.... I upgraded to Silverline Sonatas. They have the warm musical soul of the Kef, but the Dynaudio drivers are much more accurate. Bass is better, more defined, without he midbass bloat. Kef 104.2 was ahead of it's time, but computer aided design and ... | |
| ESS and Heil air-motion tranformer - any thoughts? trelja- you don't have to replace the woofers- which can hurt the sound if it's the wrong woofer for the cabinet (Q factor) - you can re-foam what you have!http://www.simplyspeakers.com/2doityourself.htm | |
| turntable location problem Sansewage is what we used to call it. The 15' patch cord is a bad idea. You can get a wall shelf for turntable, if that helps. Of course, a rega or music hall tt would sound MUCH better. | |
| Adding second "dedicated" breaker box. Yes, and while we're on dangerous., the neutral (white) wire should never be bonded to ground at the sub-panel, only at the main panel. | |
| What happened to PIP? You can get PIP in a/v gear now ... I forget which one...Outlaw? so even if your Tv doesn't have it, you can add it. | |
| Sub panel & isolation transformer voltage I have arranged my panel so that loads like the dishwasher are on the leg that is not running the audio. Similiarly the fridge, washer, large motors that kick on by themselves. You have three lines coming to the house- one neutral and two hot. Put... | |
| Cathedral Ceiling the Culprit in New Music Room? I have a cathedral ceiling. It's a big no-no for stereos, because of the relection back at the stereo. A good heavy rug will help, as well as padded couches etc. for more absorbtion. I think you are confusing people by saying you prefererred the o... | |
| My "Hummer" is driving me nuts Ben, If you have nothing else plugged into the amp, and it still hums, It's not a ground loop problem. Ground loop hum occurs when one grounded component has a different electrical potential in the ground than another component. By using cheaters,... |
