| Vacuuming after ultrasonic vinyl cleaning I rinse with a repurposed idler drive turntable with a ribbed rubber mat that makes minimal contact with the vinyl. I then vac with a KAB. Nothing but the felt lips touch the record surface. I could not imagine not rinsing with ultrapure water ... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated driving Magnepan .7 with Bypassed Fuses Personally, I would play the system for a few months with the fuses in place so see if there are any issues. If you don't blow any fuses during this time, you should feel a little more confident bypassing them. | |
| Herbies tube damper tightness If you bought them new, instructions should be there. Open them up so the rings have hardly any deflection. @skids Thanks. It never occurred to me that such simple devices would have instructions. I did not buy them new, so I don't have the i... | |
| Maggie LRS+ terminal issue Yes, bananas work fine. Unscrew the set screw, insert the banana, then lightly snug up the set screw on the part of the banana that tapers down. | |
| Added a LHY OCK 2 to EtherRegen > Bricasti chain Anybody else think the brookepeterson post was written by AI? I fiddled with Chatbot a little bit and I it’s been the same style. Not saying it’s a crime or anything if it was. Welcome to 2023… That post from brookepeterson is one of the weirde... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @ketchup Sounds interesting. Any chance of getting a photo so I understand your placement? @tomrk I just added some pics to my system. | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! 3.6R’s, purchased used as a trade-in from a local audio/video store. The price was extremely aggressive since they just wanted to get rid of them (look up the used price online and it was 1/3 of that). Yes, these particular speakers need a lot o... | |
| Why are these called 5 way binding posts? I count four! I'm not sure how legit this is, but it says that the fifth method is an alligator clip (#2). | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @bdp24 Adding a sub or two to almost any planar will result in improvements in a couple of ways. Most importantly, relieved of reproducing bass, the Maggie "woofers" will now reproduce the midrange in a noticeably improved manner. The speaker w... | |

| Is there an affordable all in one Flac burning appliance? I'm confused. Are you trying to burn CDRs or perform DAE (digital audio extraction) from CDs? | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. the Node is good enough to discover new artist via streaming. do i want to pay thousands for something like an Aruender? nope. i can get just as good sound quality by purchasing and downloading the same lossless file from Presto if i really re... | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners @reubent I use the recipe shown here with success. I then do two rinses with a vacuum machine. https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/rushton-paul-diy-approach-ultrasonic-cleaning-lps/ | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @ianrmack I certainly WOULD give it a try but I need WiFi connection and have a perfect 800mb connection. Lumin, aurender, auralic all require direct Ethernet and that would be a pain as I have a 120 yo home with thick brick walls. can aur... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @ianrmack and can’t imagine a much cleaner result. I think that's a common reaction to new upgrades, but the fact of the matter is that there's always something better. I considered an LPS for my Node but ended up getting a different streame... |
