| The end of LP collecting???? Chazzbo, I have found the blue note reissues from the 70's (the ones with a blue label and black B) to be a very good value if you don't want to shell out gazzillions for originals. They are better than the later Park Ave Blue Note reissues or OJC... | |
| The end of LP collecting???? I don't think the prices on Ebay are so outrageous when you consider what this portal provides (well OK a few bidders go way overboard). But how else would you access such an exceptional archive of jazz records? It would have taken me multiple lif... | |
| New Records noisy What do you do to clean them? What solution? What machine? | |
| Getting and keeping records clean................ Wntrmute2 - I spent alsmost nothing on my RCM - just the cost of a crevice tool for my shop vac and some felt and double stick tape to adapt it for record cleaning. While I doubt it will outperform a Loricraft, I also think it will perform on par ... | |
| A Very Long Primer on Record Cleaning Fluids Great post. I learned a lot. Tell us more about your views on the current RCF's out there such as Audio Intelligent and Record Research. I use both for different purposes. I, for one, would be interested in purchasing some of your custom RCF's for... | |
| Getting and keeping records clean................ I would argue that the hand cleaning suggested by Wntrmute2, C123666 and Simon74 is very far from adequate for record collectors who are purchasing a significant number of used records. It may be satisfactory for them when cleaning their own well ... | |
| Ready to try vinyl ... but then I guess fussiness is the one defining characteristic of a true analog addict. | |
| Ready to try vinyl The unfortunate vinyl neophite who initiated this thread has no doubt been comletely scared away by now by those posters who have hijacked his thread into yet another Raul vs. the World debate on the fine points of analog reproduction which are so... | |
| Anyone heard the Plinius M14 phono-stage ? I heard the EAR 834p and a Rouge at an audio dealer but i didn't do extensive listening tests. Mostly I bought on the reputation of Plinius with their excellent Sa-102 amp. As I recall, I paid about 50% of list | |
| Anyone heard the Plinius M14 phono-stage ? I have a Plinius M14 phono stage. The rest of my system is a Plinius SA-102 amp, LAMM LL2 pre amp, Michell Gyro TT, Shelter 501 cartridge and B&W Nautilus 803 speakers. My previous phono stage was the MM/MC phono stage in a Sonic Frontiers SFP... | |
| It's funny how records are still best. The real answer to the cd/vinyl debate is BOTH - depending on the date. Much of my early 50's jazz collection is still unavailable on cd or if it is, it's often a crapy remastering. Even the best don't compare to the original LP's IMHO - at least ... | |
| Mr Clean Eraser for Stylus Cleaning I agree, you should not pull or scrape this across the stylus. The fibers are so interwoven that they will provide too much resistance to a smooth pulling through the stylus. After wetting and compressing, however, the density is greatly increased... | |
| Rocky return to vinyl Judasmac,I use a Sears 2.75hp vac and it has more than enough power. Don't forget, a shop vac is also useful for many more things than a record cleaning machine - just try cleaning the garage with your Loricraft! (LOL)Anyhow this is the way to go ... | |
| Any way to add a good quality mono switch I don't have a removeable headshell but I am thinking about a Graham arm which is removeable (the whole arm wand) and a Lyra Heilikon mono cartridge instead of my OL Silver and Shelter 501. I could probably just go mono on everything and not miss ... | |
| How many records do you own? Elizabeth - There are lots of great, original Blue Note LP's on Ebay - you just have to figure on spending $50 to "skys the limit" for them. I guess the relevant question is "At what price differential is an inferior cd or sacd preferable to a nea... |
