| Alison Kraus : So long so wrong ; Vinyl I have the MoFi release and thought that it sounded pretty good on my system. I have heard them live a few times and have picked with them after a show, and my memory tells me that the recording sounds pretty realistic.It's hard to vouch for your ... | |
| MMF7 - Anniversary Ringmat - Tonearm Height There are a couple of set screws on the lower part of the tonearm tower, toward the back of the table. There are some other allen head screws back there, so look them over carefully to be sure that you have the right ones.When the correct ones are... | |
| Digital Cables and Analog...interchangable? Stereo interconnects are usually 75 ohm and digital audio interconnects are usually 60 ohm, so there is a difference. | |
| What Cleaning Machine? I second the VPI machines, but you may want to try the Audio Intelligent Vinyl Solutions products to clean with. They will be back on the market in a few days with supposedly the improvements of higher purity. The super wash is a little higher tha... | |
| Record Cleaners / RCMs I would suggest getting something such as the VPI 16.5, which has a motorized turntable and powered vaccuum. The Mobile Fidelity cleaning brushes work well. I recommend Audio Intelligent Vinyl Solutions cleaning fluid. The recently changed ownersh... | |
| New Vinyl Defects I agree with the comments of the others here. A record being new and pressed on 180 gram vinyl doesn't mean that the rest of the production process has been performed to strict quality standards. It is also important to clean records before they a... | |
| New Record Sounds Like Crap - How??? The pressing will make a big difference in the sound as well as the quality of the vinyl itself. I've also found the with many new records that there is a coating of mold release that needs to be cleaned off. If not, it traps microdust on the reco... | |

| RIP Maynard. Much maligned by the so-called "jazz purists", but one of the truly great and unique talents in all of music. His style and high note ability have not, and probably will never be equaled. I had the opportunity to meet him, shake his hand, and have... | |
| Why doesn't Musical Fidelity offer balanced output I've read in the past that Antony doesn't think that the do anything to improve the sound quality, as do a number of other equipment manufacturers. Far be it from me to dispute the opinion of someone who should know better than me. I also wouldn't... | |
| distortion at the end of record You may want to use a turntable setup protractor to set the cartridge. What you have can be a symptom of improper cartridge alignment. | |
| Polypropylene as a Turntable Base Material You shouldn't have any problem with noise transfer through the polypro, but it will change shape and size with changes in temperature and relative humidity. It also has a tendency to warp. It is also difficult to cut or mill accurately because of ... | |
