| Help me select few vinyl LPs Greetings, Since this is a gift, get an album from Better Records. Kinda pricey but you get a very good sounding album and it is meticulously cleaned. I believe anyone who enjoys listening to albums should have at least 1 in their collection. Jo... | |
| Avalon Radian owner manual Greetings I’m not familiar with the regular Radian speakers but I have the Radian HC speakers. The manual that came with the HC’s is a hard back book and is 67 pages. I don’t have a printer at this time. Did you contact Avalon thru their websit... | |
| MIT cables with adjustable impedance Greetings, I’m presently using a Balanced MIT Matrix cable with adjustable impedance from my phono amp to my preamp. Set the impedance to match the preamps impedance. Sounds very good in my system. I also have the Audience cables that you menti... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Greetings @wizzzard Thank you for sharing your record cleaning process. I look forward to trying your method. In your OP you mentioned information on record mats. I’m very interested in your recommendations. Respectfully, Joe Nies | |
| 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... | |
| First hand experience (stories about room treatment) needed Greetings Last year I upgraded the acoustic panels in my room. For many years I used Sonex foam panels. Worked ok for many years. I upgrade my panels to “Olanglab slot Diffuser/Absorption panels. I highly recommended them. I purchased them thr... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Advice @mmcgill829 I’m not familiar with the TT’s that you listed. I recommend you look at the Oracle Delphi MK VI. Wonderful TT. I enjoy my MK VI as much if not more than my ClearAudio Master Solution TT. Joe Nies | |
| Input impedance for Adcom GFA 555? Greetings Per a Stereophile review of the GFA-555 they list it at 22K. Not sure if Adcom is still in business. It would be best to call them. Joe Nies | |
| Cleaning audio components with 90% isopropyl alcohol Thanks for the information @terry9 , I didn’t realize that. I was told the opposite from one of my audio gurus years ago. Guess I need to do some research. Joe Nies | |
| Cleaning audio components with 90% isopropyl alcohol Greetings, For doing just a quick cleaning of connectors I use denatured alcohol. Any hardware store should carry it. Use it also for cleaning TT belts. For general cleaning I use Caig products and then use the denatured alcohol to wipe clean. I... | |
| 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 ... |
