| My Teres 350 is on the way Poor customer service is never the hallmark of a successful business, no matter how good the product. Not to question Mr. Schroeder's work ethic but he is clearly a better audio engineer than business man. One would think for the price of the prod... | |
| Record Cleaners / RCMs The cost of a highly effective DIY RCM is so little today that it is hard to imagine why someone wouldn't at least have this solution. Yes, you can drop a few thousand on a Loricraft and achieve superior results but for a few hundred you can have ... | |
| How to tell if the record is worn out? I think Groove Glide is great - I use mine all the time to lubricate my table saw and band saw blade but I will never again put it on a record. Not that it does anything terrible immediately but I suspect any type of added material like this will ... | |
| How to tell if the record is worn out? Overhang, this sounds suspicious to me. I would not give up on those records quite yet. In my experience of collecting many 40 and 50 year old records, most can be returned to a very acceptable if not outstanding quality assuming there are no obvi... | |
| Inventory of vinyl - what software do you use? Excel will let you easily do sorting, filtering, custom reporting, development of labels (Excel plus Word) and pretty much anything else your hear desires. A full database would seem to be overkill to me unless your collection exceeds the 65536 ro... | |
| Looking to get into Vinyl Baroque lover, The music you refer to is wonderful music but you must think about the software question as well as the hardware. If you are interested in this music on vinyl because you want original issue type sound, we are talking late 1940's an... | |
| Alcohol + Vinyl = Disaster... The only destruction I've wrought after one too many is to drop a mint original Savoy copy of Nat Adderley's "That's Nat". Interesting that the record label says "non-breakable" but the thing shattered into a million bits. | |
| Analog experiment Pawlowski6132, I would agree there are lots of cheap LP's out there but in my opinion Arthur would not find most of them to be of satisfactory quality (i.e. low noise) Dofferent people have different tollerences for this but a very well cared for ... | |
| Analog experiment Arthur, you are right in realizing that you must find the right pressings to get the analog sound. It is difficult (or easy but expensive) to put together a good vinyl collection today that allows you to enjoy the advantages of vinyl over CD. Beli... | |
| Analog experiment I am not too surprised with your findings. Unless you are certain that the LP's were pure analog originals or well done analog remasters then all you have is a digital recording on an LP which will sound like a CD with some surface noise. I my opi... | |
| New Record Sounds Like Crap - How??? Pawlowski6132, since you say you are new to vinyl I can only assume you have not yet developed an ear for what to expect and what the various (many) types of noise are associated with vinyl. Some types of noise are more tolerable than others. Basi... | |
| AVIS Record Cleaning solutions Sorry, I meant AIVS - Audio Intelligent Vinyl Solution (with apologies to the auto rental company) | |
| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... I think another consideration that has not been discussed here is the software as opposed to hardware issues. You have not told us what you listen to or have compared CD to vinyl. Not that the stlye of music matters but I have found that my excell... | |
| Acoustic Solid Related to Acoustic Signature? I purchased (at a big discount) a used demo Acoustic solid Transparent (their entry model) for my son as a first TT. It easily beat TT's like the Rega Planar 3 which would sell at a similar price used to what I paid. The table came with an unmodde... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Machine:$700-$800 range I completely agree with Dan_ed thay build your own is the best solution until you get to a Loricraft. I use my shop vac (which is much more powerful than the VPI) and a modified crevice tool with a slit cut in it and velvet ribbon on double stick ... |
