| Swiss amps. Worth the price? I know nothing about Swiss electronics, that's why I asked, just a few names - FM Acoustics, Nagra, Soulution, DartZeel. Probably heard some others but can't remember right now. | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? Well ,maybe not 'couple of minutes' but not too long. Depends on how you clean them. In my case, I would skip enzyme solution and just use Archivist solution followed by pure water once or twice. So..I'd say two minutes each side. And I do believe... | |
| No cartridge is good enough. don_c55, what you said and the way you said it can easily be interpreted as a slander. First think, then speak. | |
| No cartridge is good enough. Raul,Whether it is possible or not to get everything out of tape is an interesting question for a different thread.Vinyl was never supposed to be an audiophile medium but tape was.Anyway, as you say some vintage cartridges can compete with very be... | |
| New Forum Format Sucks Yes, it was. All good things must pass, this is the proof. | |
| Upgrade Path The source.I suggest you consider upgrading table/arm/cartridge. Perhaps it would be worth the effort to try different/better cables as well. What is your phono stage? | |
| What would be a good turntable/tonearm/cartridge If you have a high-end system steer clear of entry level turntables, you will get nothing but disappointment. But you don't have to buy expensive cartridge right away.Yes, every turntable requires careful set-up, but maintaining it doesn't have to... | |
| Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist? Many suggestions.I asked about only one aspect of performance, but of course there are many others. If an amp or any other piece in the chain doesn't do rhythm and dynamics well I don't listen further, no matter how otherwise glorious the sound mi... | |
| Nottingham resonance control Ahh, I see. | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? Dougdeacon, it's good to know about totally silent records. I just never thought of that. But I always listen for the clarity first and noise second.I don' think that brush can remove everything. Imagine, as an example, that while playing records ... | |
| Nottingham resonance control What springs? I didn't quite get it.My mind is not set on anything, only on the need to experiment and listen. | |
| Nottingham resonance control I wonder, if it would make the deck sound better, at least to me, if I put it on Brazilian rosewood block instead of maple. Ebony doesn't seem very appealing. Indian or Honduran rosewood might work too. Brazilian rosewood block of high quality wou... | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? What a cute breed some of you are. I suppose, you never clean your shoes either or maybe once. Ebm sounds like a true New Yorker to me, there are truckloads of people like these around here.Albert, thank you, you rarely write these days, but when ... | |
| Nottingham resonance control 'depends on what you are trying to do' is an excellent point. I advocate the approach of tuning the system and controlling the resonant energy not eliminating it altogether. Hard to accomplish and requires a lot of experimenting, including trying ... | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? Dougdeacon, 5-10% is a lot, especially if they are your favourite records.It is hard for the records not to get contaminated to a degree while playing, the environment is not sterile.And how do you know that the first cleaning was perfect unless y... |
