| Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner Ultrasonic machines aside, 32oz of Audio Intelligent or Mo-Fi water is $20 plus shipping. It is enough to clean 200 records or so, at least 100/120 if you do double rinse. You would call it expensive if you clean records once or very rarely? It's ... | |
| Turntable for life Terry9, what I like about Spacedeck, among other things, is that it sounds quite big for a relatively small table. Anna Log is what one day I might want to upgrade to, if I have a chance to listen to it ! And as always, funds permitting. | |
| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? Yes, Cardas is rolled-off, unbalanced, usually has exaggerated and bloated bass, artificial warmth and not really dynamic.I really like Purist Audio cables. In your place I would try Purist, Stealth and probably better Tara cables. Mid-level, you ... | |
| PS Audio regenerator P600 or Premier? That's what I want first of all - dynamics. The voltage over here fluctuates wildly. I live in an apartment so dedicated lines are not possible and wouldn't help much anyway in this case. | |
| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? I would get rid of any Cardas in the system once and for all. Then probably the arm. | |
| Turntable for life Terry9, did you have a chance to listen to Anna Log? I did not. It's quite rare. | |
| Record Doctor V versus Spin Clean Complete Never do steaming uless you really know what you are doing. You have to control the temperature precisely.I believe the current best value is Okki Nokki machine. It's $500 not $200, but this difference should not be significant if you want clean r... | |

| LAST record preservative improves the sound "Yes, LAST Head Treatment is safe and effective as a head cleaner. This is actually accomplished during the application of the treatment to the tape heads. However, under conditions wherein excretions from the surface of compromised magnetic tap... | |
| The one component that you wish you had not bought Cardas quadlink cables. When I replaced them with entry level Purist I couldn't believe hearing such an improvement in clarity dynamics and balance.Also, entry level old Nakamichi cassette deck. Quickly replaced it with 682ZX.And Parasound belt dr... | |
| VPI Record Cleaning - Does Bidirectional cleaning really make a difference? I would assume that some dirt particles are abrasive.I only tried Audio Intelligent three step so can't compare to other fluids.I also had a few records cleaned by Audio Desk ultrasonic with pre-cleaner and water on VPI 17 before that and double r... | |
| Yet Another Budget Integrated Amp Question Older made in England not China Audiolab if you can find one. Sometimes shows up on ebay. 60 watt/8 ohm, pretty good. Greatly benefits from good power cord. I used to use one before my current Redgum. | |

The price is $50 for a bottle that will be enough to treat about 60-70 records,Also, Walter Davis, the LAST man behind it is very friendly and knoweledgeable. You can buy this stuff directly from the LAST.He also makes... | |
| What's your biggest surprise in hifi? 1.That people invest so much energy and funds in inanimate objects that they hope will get them close to the reality instead of investing directly into real animate objects.2. That $375 MM cartridge can sound so good when used with $3k table and $... | |
| LAST record preservative improves the sound Norman,I can't comment on record wear. But as I understand it, it's not the age of records that really matter but a number of plays. I also read somewhere that it is not a good idea to play one record twice within about 24 hours, someone said that... |
