| Help Viridian will a Denon 103 work in a Rega arm I've had my new 103R mounted in my FT3 for about a week now and have about 10 hours on it. It replaced an older Ortofon MC 20 Super and I couldn't be happier with its performance. I have not used any damping on the FT3 to this point and may experi... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine My apologies with respect to pricing on the Loricraft; I was unaware that they had introduced the lower priced model at $1895.There is certainly no doubt that the Loricraft and Monks are good machines and will do an excellent job. They both offer ... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine I'm sure the Monks or Loricraft are great machines, but for between $3,000 and $5,000 they should be. If you are really interested in cleaning vinyl, there is a huge amount of info in the Vinyl Asylum at Audioasylum. After spending a bit of time t... | |
| Help Viridian will a Denon 103 work in a Rega arm I have 103R on the way which I will be mounting on an FT3 when it arrives. I'll keep you posted, but I am not expecting any problems. | |
| Please help with interconnects Vampire sells continuous cast copper at very reasonable prices. Although it is not posted on their website, you can purchase a 1 metre pair of interconnects from them upgraded with their 2nd from top of the line copper based RCA plug (the plugs ar... | |
| decent integrated to replace NAD 3400 My 88C has been perfect for the last year, no problems-I couldn't be happier or expect more from an integrated amp considering what I paid for it. The drawback, it seems, is that the suggested retail prices of the gear have risen steeply in the pa... | |
| Best Temporary Record Cleaning Options Valid points, Doug, and as I stated above, there are many variables. Choice of fluids is obviously critical and we are much more in agreement than disagreement as you say. The fact that the KAB/decent vacuum/RRL combo can improve upon the Monks/Ni... | |
| Best Temporary Record Cleaning Options Doug: I can only tell you this: I had records cleaned professionally on a Monks using Nitty Gritty fluid just before I purchased my EV1. Recleaning the Monks cleaned records on the EV1 (with my Filter Queen vac) with RRL, followed by a lab grade w... | |
| Best Temporary Record Cleaning Options Personally, I would not waste the money on many of the so called "temporary" solutions, for marginally more (about $200 U.S.) you can purchase a KAB EV1 (if you already have a decent vacuum), a bottle of RRL Super Vinyl Wash and a carbon fibre bru... | |
| Looking for Jazz emsembles with a guitar flair As for more current artists, Jake Langley is a great guitarist that you might look into. | |
| J.Rowland Is it possible to shut off the display One other bit of info that may be of use. Holding down the mode/input button on the remote on the Jungson until the display flashes and then using the volume control on the remote will allow you to cycle up or down in volume much more quickly than... | |
| J.Rowland Is it possible to shut off the display I have Jungson JA 88C (cost me all of $325 used) which uses the Rowland digital volume control. Try depressing and holding down (not a quick click) the mute button on the remote for a few seconds. This defeats the display on the Jungson (which als... | |
| Cream live Royal albert CD / LP All things being equal (which they never are of course-it will depend on what you are playing any of the 3 formats on), the DVD should sound better than the CD as it is a 24/48 recording vs. the 16/44.1 redbook CD version. My understanding is that... | |
| Professional Record Cleaning - Vinyl Phone some of the record stores in your area and ask if they have a Monks or Loricraft or even a VPI or Nitty Gritty machine. Some will perhaps and I have had records cleaned for only a dollar. Short of that, you can get pretty much state of the a... | |
| Audioprism CD Blacklight mat? Having used both products (Audioprism Blacklight and Herbies Grungebuster), I can tell you unequivocally not to waste your $$$ on the Audioprism. The Grungebuster 2 is a superior product for $8 and Herbie also does a stable platter version for $25... |
