| Vacuuming after ultrasonic vinyl cleaning Greetings, I don’t have a static problem where I live. For most albums I use a US cleaner and let the machine fan dry it. If there is any static buildup I’ll DeStat the album and/or touch album to my grounding post. For my special albums I’ll d... | |
| So I bought a WallyScope... Greetings, @pindac Thanks for the tip on using a new deck of cards for tonearm leveling. Works great for getting the arm level. This gives you a great starting point. When I purchase a new cartridge I’ll send it to WAM to get it analyzed. It wil... | |
| Re-Discover my Direct to Disks Greetings, I was in error when I stated that Reference Recordings made 4 D2D. They only made 1, RR1. I have RR3 & 4 and they are listed as Pressure Recordings Process. They use tape with minimal electronic components. I don’t have RR2 so may... | |

| What would cause noise (ground noise?) when touching the volume control and tone controls? Have you tried plugging all your equipment into 1 power outlet strip? Could be a ground loop. Joe Nies | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much WTF. It’s like their job to setup and demo the products that they carry. Maybe they don’t know how to setup a TT? What a shame. Maybe just go to that store in person and see if they have 1 setup or ask for a demo. Have a few hundred dollar bills ... | |
