Finding Pure Water for Record Cleaning - very long
I'm resurrecting this thread, too! I love these types of posts. Thanks for the effort, Justin time.We have some very intelligent audiophiles here who post actual scientific information (which is very rare in the audiophile community where voodoo s... 
A Very Long Primer on Record Cleaning Fluids
I'm resurrecting this thread. Nice post, FWIW! Someone mentioned Micro concentrated cleaner. I happen to have a jug of this. Would this work well as a surfactant? 
Ringing amplifier
Elizabeth,Did damping the heatsinks change anything? If you had not done it and know what you know now, would you bother damping them? 
ZYX UNIverse
Stltrains,I wouldn't worry about moving on to a table that doesn't have a ring clamp. I know that some ring clamps are available, but if you can't find one to fit a different table, you can always have one machined that will fit. 
Thiel 3.7
Here's a little vid on the 3.7. Harley doesn't know the difference between phase coherency and time coherency, but Jim Thiel does ;)http://www.avguide.com/features/ces07/videos/thiel.php 
Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution
Is it just me that thinks that the steaming will only make the vinyl expand, tighten up the grooves, and lock in the dirt, making it even harder to remove? I'm not bashing your steam cleaning idea, but I would at least like a scientific explanatio... 
Digital Stylus Gauges
Agreed. The Zerodust and the Stylus Force Gauge are dirt cheap from Mehran and they work perfectly. If I remember correctly, both together are cheaper than the price of the Stylus Force Gauge alone from other dealers. 
Is an IPOD hi-fi?
Chadnliz,That's about all I know about those things! When they come with a digital output i might buy one. I do a lot of travel, so it would be nice, but I can't bring myself to buying one. The digital output would seal the deal. It makes it a muc... 
Is an IPOD hi-fi?
Time for the blind test to rear its ugly head, with uncompressed files quality cables and good DAC I am confident many would not pass the test.You can not use a DAC with an ipod. There is no digital output. When there is, I think most of us will a... 
High-res Downloads of Orchestral music available
I didn't account for compression. These are probably around 6 minutes if compressed 50%.

Nice post!This may be the first time that high rez analog transfers are available for download, but Steve Kimock has been offering high rez digital recordings for a while now.http://app1.dsbd.net/dsb/artistdetail.jsp?show=SK-01-S0000298Anyone have... 
Is an IPOD hi-fi?
If you play lossless files through the line-out connection, then through an external DAC with good jitter control...You would actually need a digital output to do this. Line out is analog. 
Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution
Thanks, Slipknot.Can you describe the process that goes on with the premixed solution? One ounce (you indicated that you actually used less) of cleaning solution for 20 LP sides equals about 1/3 teaspoon of solution per side. Do you feel that that... 
Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution
Slipknot,I didn't see any information on Lloyd's site indicating how many LP sides one can expect to clean with one complete system (without having to re-order any particular item). Any idea?If you don't expect any "biohazards" on an LP, is it nec...
