| New Classic Records Coloured Vinyl Check the archives at vinylasylum. Heck, you don't even have to check the archives. There are contstant threads (one there tonight) there about Classic's poor quality. | |
| Michell Orbe platter upgrade:any comments? There was a recent thread at Audioasylum in the vinyl asylum about this, so you might want to search there. As I recall, about 75-80% of those who responded to the thread who had upgraded preferred the Orbe platter, but there were those who did no... | |
| Record Cleaners / RCMs Calgarian: My thoughts are that you just may not have noticed this before. When doing your final vacuum on the machine, just make sure to turn it off, leaving the record on the Nitty Gritty until the vacuum has completely (or almost completely) cy... | |
| tracking force problem How high/thick is the "weigh platform" on your new digital scale? Many of the cheaper scales now being sold as tracking force guages for turntables have very thick platforms which will not give an accurate read (the higher the platform, relative t... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine Fluid The Super Deep likely (I am guessing) contains some alcohol, as well as probably more surfactant. I say this because the SD does not make any claims of no alcohol on the bottle and SVW does. Also, the SD is supposed to be used as the first stage o... | |
| Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter? 240: I think that you will find that when you eliminate this problem from your system that it will indeed sound considerably better. That is certainly my experience. My limited understanding of the problem is that, apart from having your speakers ... | |
| Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter? My feeling is that the KAB is a state of the art device having used it. I am not technically very knowledgeable but the KAB website would lead me to believe that the rumble it is attacking at 140 hz. is strictly related to vertical modulation caus... | |
| Elton John "Peachtree Road" Vinyl - Can't Find http://www.musicstack.com/listings.cgi?find=elton_john&t=peachtree_road&media=VinylIf you search this site, there appear to be 5 sellers, although it looks like 3 have to special order it. Looks like the other 2 have it in stock for shipping. | |

| Dussun vs Qinpu vs.Jungson vs.Onkyo A-9555 Amps The $400 Jungson was the 88C (great amp-I own one!). It's essentially been renamed the DA120 as Nzera pointed out above, had the spec'd power boosted from 80 to 120 watts per channel and given one extra input I believe. Retail price has been bumpe... | |
| Phono Preamp Vs. Transformer for Moving Coil I would agree with Jafox that you will probably not get any general concensus on this. That being said, I would not want to be shelling out big money (ie. $700-$1000) on tranformer(s)/stepups realizing you are probably going to have to do another ... | |
| Cartridge break in device The Cardas Sweep Record is an alternative for about $30. Frequency sweeps are valuable after you are broken in too. I like it and wouldn't be without it. $700 buys a lot of records. | |
| Re Issue vs Re Re Issue There is a ton of info on the OJC's at vinyl asylum in AA. Do a search there. There is some speculation that the OJC's above the number 300 or so in the catalogue are digitally remastered. I own a number of them (all below 300 in the catalogue) th... | |
| Cartridge recommendation? Let me know where I can get a Black Goldline for $175. I'll take 10. | |
| Re-issue vinyl vs. the original pressing Perhaps I have posted incorrect information and the newer Neumann's do not employ a digital delay loop to drive the cutting heads. Some recent reading that I did suggested that the digital delay loop at the cutting stage is still employed on all n... |
