| Who has made their own LP cleaning solution? I read in last months stereophile that Michael Fremmer is planning a review of various cleaning solutions in a near future issue. I hope he includes AIVS in the shootout - it is also my preferred cleaner. | |
| I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?.... Outlier - just talk to the analog department at Music Direct. That is the standard replacement deal from Shelter as I understand it. They said it cannot be repaired but I had to send them the old one, probably to prove I wasn't just trying to buy ... | |
| I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?.... I did the same thing once while trying to "dust off my TT. My condolences, it was a very bad day for me as well. Music direct gave me 50% off on a new 501 ($400) when I sent them the damaged unit (which I hadn't originally purchased from them). | |

| Mono vs Stereo LP's Thanks to both of you for the info. As it happens, I do use Audio Intelligent Vinyl Solutions which I would agree is an excellent cleaner ... the best I have ever tried. I cleaned this record before playing and then again after noticing the noise ... | |
| Plinius M16 Phono vs. Plinius M14 Separate Phono Hi Tfjm, the Plinius, as a solid state amp, gave more detail and bass than the previous phonostages I mentioned. It has adjustable gain and loading. I use mostly low gain even though my cartridge is a Moving coil Shelter with .4mv output. This is ... | |
| Plinius M16 Phono vs. Plinius M14 Separate Phono In my experience different quality phonostages make a big difference. I have the Plinius M14 today which works very nicely in my system with a LAMM LL2 preamp and was a substantial improvement over a previous system (Sonic Frontiers Signature phon... | |
