| Sumiko Flux Buster Demagnetizer I used the wrong terminology a few time describing what these devices and LP’s do. ‘They degauss the device or system not demagnetize them. ‘Joe Nies | |
| Sumiko Flux Buster Demagnetizer @pindac Yes, thank you for sharing your hands on experience with the community and myself on this subject. It’s always nice to get positive feedback instead of negative. I accept both. It’s also nice to hear from people that have actually used the... | |
| Sumiko Flux Buster Demagnetizer The following is a quote from Sumiko Flux Buster Instructions. ‘When the magnetically permeable components of a transducer become magnetized, performance can be degraded. Magnetization of a moving coil former (armature) can be heard as a loss of ... | |
| Sumiko Flux Buster Demagnetizer Greetings ‘Thanks to all for their input on this subject. I was hoping for more input on what people are using today to degauss their systems. The Cardas is one of the most popular test albums? Years ago I went to the Cardas website and printed ... | |
| Advice for RCA Interconnect Upgrade? Jasonbourne52: Yes I do remember the Diskwasher Gold Ends. They were my first upgraded IC that I purchased in the early 80’s. I hand an inexpensive phono preamp at the time and it was very noisy. When I switched to the Gold Ends the noise floor dr... | |
| Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m Greetings ‘I don’t think I would be able to hear the difference between a 1m cable vs a 2m cable. I use 1.5m or 2m cables due to the location of my equipment. Maybe one day I’ll hookup a 1m cable to 1 of my mono blocks and a 2m on the other. If... | |
| Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m Greetings ‘I recommend going with the 2m length. All my power cables are either 1.5m or 2m. Short cods can me quite hard to terminate due to the heavy gauge and there minimum bend radius. ‘I learned my lesson years ago when I purchased 1m long... | |

| Ideas For Phono Cable For My Turntable. Hello stereo5 I’m using Audience phono cables on 1 of my TT. Really nice sounding cables. I did pay more than 600$ for the ones I’m using. I suggest you go to The Cable Co or Used Cales. For 600$ I feel you will only be making a lateral move, if ... | |
| how to buy power cords that fit my components (i.e tight and snug) Greetings I have started using interlocking poker chips to support the cable connector at the component end. They work quite well. Stack them as required. Color doesn’t matter haha. All my power cable are heavy and unruly, but that’s what you g... | |
| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. Greetings I’m fortunate to have both types of phono preamps in my system. One tube and two SS. I enjoy both of them and listen to both daily. I lean more towards the tube phono preamp. There is always a plus and minus to both forms. P‘If you c... | |
| Phono stage options - balanced with XLR both input and output... Hello mijostyn It is my understanding now that the Aesthetixs I/O first stage is SE not balanced. Therefore the reason for using a SE cable. ‘I wish manufacturers would stop putting XLR/Balanced connectors on equipment that’s not truly balanced.... | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge Greetings To be fair to my ears I will eventually finish refurbishing my Heybrook TT2 turntable with a Sumiko Premiere MMT tonearm. I’ll install a Grado XTZ MI Cartridge on it. I haven’t listened to a MI/MM cartridge in my system in over 35+... | |
| What's better, one conductor or two conductors for an RCA interconnect? Greetings Jumia consider moving this post to the Cable Forum. Lots of knowledgeable people on this site to provide you with more input. Joe Nies | |

Such as from a transport or music server to your DAC. A good coaxial cable is important to have. Once you get into the analog w... |
