| Cleaning LP...how much fluid is enough/too much? Hi, I use about 10-15 drops of the super cleaner...use a carbon fiber brush to spread around...vacumn 2 rev's.Then I partially saturate a disc doctor brush with the wash, go around once using the motor. scrub back and forth (with the grooves) once... | |
| Is there advantage to balanced phono-preamp I've heard many differing opinions on this. All I can say, is with my BAT VKP10SE, which has a balanced input section, using a din to XLR cable gives a quieter, more deatailed presentation than a din to RCA tonarm cable.For me and my setup, it hel... | |
| Do CJ's amps project a "V" shaped soundstage? how do you have your virgo's setup? Did you use the recommended positioning here?http://www.audiophysic.de/info/aufstellung/e_index.htmlRoom interaction can also effect this. Some treatments might be appropriate...slap echo's can kill some imaging... | |
| Suspended Basis vs Nonsuspended Teres glad someone else loves my sme 20. however, when I place it on a symposium ultra shelf, it get's much quieter...more detail. something is still getting in...or not getting out with out this "added". maybe it's better than the rest...but those are ... | |
| Long wall or short wall Audio Physics is also a big proponent of long wall placement. I had my Virgo's placed this way years ago. Now I have my Watt/Puppy's in pretty much the same config. Check out my pics in systems.FYI: http://www.audiophysic.de/info/aufstellung/e_ind... | |
| Which fluid should I use Taters...I use the super deep clean first, then the wash. And yes, I use separate wands for vacuming and separate brushes for clean vs wash... | |
| Which fluid should I use I've used both. Still own both. There are some differences. I use them on a vpi 16.5 with the disc dr brushes...like you seem to be.Disc Dr-Takes 3 cycles for me. One with the cleaning solution diluted. some scrubing like they recommend. 2 rinses ... | |
| seems like static Is this tube /pre/amp? If so, sounds like you have a tube going bad. Take the tubes from the right side and put in the left. If the static moves channels...then it's a tube.I'm sorry I can't narrow it down to a specific tube without knowing more a... | |
| Is tube "thunder" power related? maybe...however, shipping may have also damaged the tubes...shook em up to much and they are failing.... | |
| Tweeks for the Wadia 850 GNS has a great repuation. I used to own a 850. Try various isolation, I loved a Symposium svelte shelf and rollerblocks. Also a great power cord like the kimber palladian or Trans ref xl.One final thing, are u using disc treatments like Auric Ill... | |
| Clean power & ground issue? I'd call a electrician and run a dedicated ground and a sep line for your audio. He can also fix the grounding issue for the rest of the house. You might have a fire/electrocution hazzard right now... | |
| BAT VK-60 Mono Blocks or VK-75 Stereo I think the advice above is sound. I've owned a vk60 and now have a vk75se. Using Watt/Puppy 6's. I've never felt like I needed more power. However, the 75se is a much better sounding amp. Much superior bass, more top end extension, better dynamic... | |
| Acoustic Sounds 45's Jazz series The Cannonball Adderly is amazing. Also have the Evans Waltz for Debby...my surfaces are pristine, no noise. I have cleaned them using Record Research fluid and a VPI vacumn... | |
| True Fully Balanced Amplifiers BAT VK200 for solid state or VK60 for tube...fully balanced, reasonably priced, sound wonderful...I've owned them both... | |
| MFG's for cable burn in units? do a search on this. several dealers will do it for you for a nominal fee. i emailed a dealer, and he only wanted $25 / pair of cables...not a bad deal. Sorry, I can't remember the dealers name! |
