| Herman eats crow, RRL record cleaning fluids work Sean, 4yanx, Can you provide us with the specific citation from Kodak stating that it is detrimental to vinyl?Thanks | |
| Herman eats crow, RRL record cleaning fluids work I've tried RRL cleaning fluid and I must agree with many previous posters on this site that it worked GREAT. On the other hand so did my "homebrew" with distilled water and a touch of detergent and photoflow. I must agree with Lugnut that there is... | |
| VPI Scout or Michell Technodec? Crazy... I have the Gyro SE with Shelter 501 - which I believe is .4mV not .3mV. I any case, it has plenty of gain with my Plimius M14 phonostage (60dB gain for MC) and Lamm LL2 preamp. Another tweak I tried with the gyro is to use very stiff spri... | |
| cleaning vinyl. which cleaning fluid to use. I have used both Record Research and my own homebrew with good results. The RR cleaner did seem to bead up more on the record compared to my cleaner which had less surface tension but both produced good results (with a good record vac). Given that... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ok you're right Artar1, it was not a review just the most detailed (but eloquent) description of a sound never heard that I have ever seen. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Well this is rich. Now Audiogoners are giving reviews talking about the subtle differences in sound between preamps they have never heard because of "vicarious experiences" they have had as a result of reading this thread!!! | |
| Lamm ll2 preamp + Plinius sa 102 amp = matching? Sorry I can't offer any direct experience as I am also considering the Plinius sa102 and looking for a good pre-amp combo. I have the Plinius M14 phono stage and love its bass slam with my Shelter 501 MC cartridge.If you check the threads and virt... | |
| Optimal Loading for Shelter 501 mk2 It's on the data sheet they provided with the cartridge.It says,Recommended load impedance: step-up trans within 20 ohms head amplifier within 100 ohm high gain EQ-amplifier within 47k ohmI am using a high gain amplifier whereas Doug uses the Bent... | |
| Optimal Loading for Shelter 501 mk2 For what it's worth, I use a Shelter 501 Mk2 into a Plinius M14 phono stage which has adjustable loading "on the fly" with a knob on the front. You can select, 47K, 1K, 470, 100, 47 or 22. To my ear 47K is the best with the sound becoming consiste... | |
| Won't preamps become obsolete? Oh come on Vvrinc, I mean, I'm a big vinyl fan and have listened to almost nothing but since returning to it 6 months ago (just bought a Plinius M14 phono stage here on A'gon). My kids think my turntable is cool too but they are still downloading ... | |
| What is your price range for used vinyl? I buy used jazz from the 50's - 60's. Good reissues go from $10 up. Originals can be $20 - $100+. On average, I pay about $30 for a good (near mint) LP. My observations, after buying many used LP's, is that Ebay records are somewhat over priced be... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Does anyone have specs on the Supatek preamps? Wha't the gain for line and phono? is it switchable? what about loading? There doesn't seem to be info on this on the site. | |
| Do I need a machine to clean ? I think that making your own record cleaning machine is one of the most cost effective DIY tweaks you can do if you're a vinyl lover. A basic record cleaning machine is just a vacume. Application and spreading of fluid can be done just as effectiv... | |
| VPI HW19 MkIII vs. Michell Gyrodec? I have a Gyro SE and have absolutely no problems with "footfalls" In fact I can jump up and down as hard as i like right in front of the table with no effect - of course it is on a stand that rests on a concrete floor on top of a styrofoam pad on ... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel While I'm also a strong proponent of vinyl (I've listened to almost nothing but since I returned 6 mos. ago), I don't think it renders the debate as moot since there is almost no decent vinyl available for recent recorded music. Even where vinyl i... |
