| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Man am I steamed! Based on Crem1 suggestions, I got my wife to buy me a Perfection steamer for Christmas. I went to Pep Boys and got the deionized water, even bought myself a 3" Purdy brush. I already have a VPI record vac that is 26 years old and... | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it Yes, less expensive than sailing, but you will still experience moments of being becalmed... and moments of running with the wind. Coming about! | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it Jump! You won't know till you do. If you buy good equipment you can sell it later if you change your mind or find you don't want the added hassle. That being said, I have seldom found anything worthwhile that required little or no effort. Vinyl is... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. "We've lost our direction....The High End in 1992 is a multi-million-dollar business. But it's an empty triumph, because we haven't accomplished what we set out to do. The playback still doesn't sound 'just like the real thing.'My living room can ... | |
| Do flexible speaker cables exist? Thanks everyone. Great resource Audiogon is; but we know that. This gives me plenty of options and directions to check out. If $1k is unrealistic, that's cool, I need to know that. Thank you. | |

| systemdek IIX and rega rb250 I fabricated a new arm board and it worked except the arm board was difficult to level azimuth (without shims). The suspension seemed designed for the center hole to be 210mm or the entire balance relationship of platter to arm board is off. I got... | |
| systemdek IIX and rega rb250 Not optimal. The Systemdek platter center to arm hole center is 210mm and I believe the Rega RB250 needs 223mm to achieve optimal setup; overhang etc. That being said I have a Origin Live Silver (same as Rega specs.) on my Systemdek and have the c... | |
