Milty Zerostat - Questions
Nope, it's an honest question. I want to understand what all the fuss is about, because it really makes no sense to me. In the end, I will only lose $10 if I sell the Zerostat. 
Milty Zerostat - Questions
OK, then allow me to rephrase... What is the Zerostat actually good for, if everything is attributable to the need for a wet clean? 
Milty Zerostat - Questions
It sounds like you need to clean the records first. If they have a lot of dust and static on them, you must remove that first, then use the Zerosat.Hmm, so let me get this straight - I have to remove the static charge before I use the Milty Zerost... 
Milty Zerostat - Questions
Jlind325is:You're not using the gun correctly. To remove the static cling, you should release a positive charge ONLY. Remember, the record already has a negative charge (which is why it attracts dust). If you release the trigger over the record, y... 
Milty Zerostat - Questions
Can you please define "pretty well"? I've repeated those exact steps and noticed absolutely no difference. Just this minute, I played a record with pops/crackles on the first song. I stopped the record, used the Zerostat, brushed with an anti-stat... 
Milty Zerostat - Questions
I have already searched the archives and found a wealth of conflicting information/advice. I'd like to settle the matter once and for all in this thread. I also tried pressing the 'plastic bit' (AKA light bulb) against the faucet, but didn't notic... 
The Harbeth phenomenon
Pinkus:That bogus 'review' was discussed at length in the Harbeth User Group (HUG) Forum. I can't find the link, but if I remember correctly, it was an unauthorized review by a casual listener, based upon a pair of Monitor 30s that were purchased ... 
Quick Cartridge Questions
Thanks for the responses. As a brief follow-up, which 'stylus profile' does the Goldring 1012GX fall under? And again, how does one determine when the cartridge needs replacing - by ear? As a point of interest, what determines whether a cartridge ... 
Is anyone using Harbeth speakers with a sub-woofer
Has anyone paired a sub with the Harbeth P3ESR? If so, which sub did you use and what were your thoughts? I would have thought that the P3ESR would be the most likely to be paired with a sub, but apparently not... 
Cart for Michell TecnoDec - Advice Needed ASAP
I would like to delete this post, but I don't know how! Thanks for reading, but the seller tossed in the Goldring cart for free. Consequently, cartridge recommendations are no longer needed.Have a great day! 
J.A. Mitchell TecnoDec vs. Clearaudio Emotion CMB
Thank you for the responses.After reading this feedback, I have one final worry... Am I splitting hairs? I don't intend on tweaking too much, and I want to begin with a sub $500 cartridge. Perhaps I will eventually graduate to a Benz Micro, but I ... 
Harbeth - Compact 7 ES-2 used OR P3-ESR new ?
Hi Cwlondon,Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for the P3ESRs to arrive (long story). I expect to have them within the next few weeks, so I will report back with my observations once I get the opportunity to listen at length.To answer your question,... 
J.A. Mitchell TecnoDec vs. Clearaudio Emotion CMB
Thank you for the responses. I should probably mention that I'm on an extremely tight budget. If I were to purchase the TecnoDec, I would get it equipped with the RB250 Special. I would then upgrade to the Tecnoarm in a year or two.Similarly, if I... 
J.A. Mitchell TecnoDec vs. Clearaudio Emotion CMB
Granted, but my strategy is to pick a TT first, then to identify appropriate cartridge options. I've always been told that investing in the source is what's most important - tonearms and cartridges come and go. Besides, given the plethora of MM/MC... 
Hegel Amplifiers
Milpai, In no way am I opposed to fielding questions on A'gon. In fact, I know embarrassingly little about high fidelity audio myself. My post, and presumably that of Mst, was in reference to a different Hegel altogether; namely, the one belonging...
