| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Megasam, No I have not tried the Reality Check duplicator yet. I did have my Masterlink modified by Tube Research Labs for $550 which made a HUGE sonic difference, especially on the quality of copies now made. Info is at www.tuberesearchlabs.com S... | |
| DV-50s vs Krell SACD Standard vs Denon 3910 mod Wow, " ... the originator of one of the best, most interesting and most responded to threads going on Audiogon now".That's quite the accomplishment, congratulations! LOL. | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? From what I know about the subject and have been told by those who actually produce CD's and SACD's is that Block Error Rate is a key factor in resolution. CD Burners such as the Alesis Masterlink will produce CDR's with very little BLER, much, mu... | |
| Record Cleaner I agree 100%, the Loricraft seems to be the champ. I put a Loricraft RCM on my Christmas list, we'll see if I've been naughty or nice ... | |
| Record Cleaner Question to Tbg: I suppose if he said perfectly well and used your choice of cleaner, you'd let it fly, right? | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Actually, CDC, the BLER rate of properly burned CD's is much, much lower than that the mass produced high BLER disc that you purchased at the store. The burned copies sound much better. Some audiophiles have been for years, buying the store bought... | |
| Record Cleaner Another vote for RRL and Galen Carol. | |
| Most powerful fluid for record cleaning machine ? I'm just sharing my personal experience. There was a residue left behind with the AIVS that I can hear. RRL cuts it, but it takes several rinses. DD also left a film and required multiple rinses too, which is why I chose not to use it. I want to l... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? 711 smilin seems to be on APL's payroll. | |
| Most powerful fluid for record cleaning machine ? I've had the same experience that Doug Deacon has with AIVS, it leaves a film behind. I tried cleaning it off with distilled water, but it didn't cut it. I found that RRL SVW cleans it off after a few rinse/vacume cycles. Until then, it reduced dy... | |
| What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean? I admit that I've been a little intimidated to post my concerns about this new cleaner, because if you do, there are those who try their hardest to make you feel poorly, just for stating your opinion. Some of us collect rare, valuable records and ... | |
| What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean? I don't know, Dopogue. When do "living cells" quit eating? I remember 4yanx mentioning that he found that most plasticizers were fat based. "Are these discs going to enzyme hell soon?"It's hard telling. My Armor All'ed CD's looked and sounded grea... | |
| What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean? An enzyme is defined in the MSN Encarta dictionary as "A complex protein produced by living cells that promotes a bio-chemical reaction by acting as a catalyst". This said, 4yanx's questions were very valid and went unanswered. To make matters wor... | |
| What do I look for in used records? Hey Elizabeth, they have bar codes on record jackets? | |
| CD Tweaks and Longterm Damage Cello,I believe that Tom tested Audiotop also, but I'm not 100%certain. I know that if he did, he didn't get it from me, nor anyone from my group. (He had 3 friends give him products). If it is important to you, I can ask. If I'm not mistaken, we ... |
