| Are more turntable motors better? Yes, Dentoarm, I am desperately wanting to set up the HS-80 flywheel in the correct "mirror image" position. Initially I had to set it in the less-than-ideal position due to WAF issues. However, I think I've figured out a way to juggle all my comp... | |
| Are more turntable motors better? I will say that when I added the Micro Seiki HS-80 passive flywheel to my (obviously single-motor) thread-driven RX-5000, the background was as quiet as ever, but the solidity of piano notes was even more impressive. A clever solution to keeping i... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Axelwahl, thanks for the GREAT response! Very informative. I agree with your Classic Records assessment--their products always seem to be the most problematic when brand new. An interesting aspect of your post is that loose bits of vinyl, maybe ev... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Stltrains--thank you for the clarification! I was scratching my head until your last post, especially since I had already apologized to Crem1 after reading his reaction! I agree to each his own about the best way to clean records, and I thank ever... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Gee, I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my review, or at least Crem1. I thought I went out of my way to be fair and just describe my experiences in a detailed and polite way. I'm not sure what I said that warranted the response you posted, Crem1,... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 As Crem1 knows, I recently joined this Steamer thread and tried, with enthusiasm, first a steamer from Walmart (it wasn't very good), then the recommended Living Solutions steamer from Walgreen's (though they are fast becoming scarce). I've been a... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Thanks, Crem1! I really do appreciate your help.About the Aquafina water, that IS an advantage--you can drink it! The Pep boys battery water (by Peak) does alarm me a little with its label saying "not for human consumption." It makes you wonder ho... | |
| Hanss turntables I believe the top of the line (T-60) Hanss turntable is 130 lbs (according to their website). | |
| which dvd for under 1k I have the new OPPO Blu-ray Universal player (under the early adoption program). Stunning. Plays EVERY disc I throw at it, including DVD-A now with the latest firmware, and all for much less than $1K! | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 By the way, it is through Crem1's tireless efforts to help that a solution (and order number) was found and the Living Solutions steamer can be obtained here in southern California, too. Thank you Crem1! | |
| A question for Graham owners I really don't mean to be incendiary here, but this thread is probably as good a place as any to mention a negative issue about the Phantom I've discovered. Due to the fanatical following of the Phamtom, I was poised to purchase one. However, afte... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 I just finished testing a "SteamFast" steam cleaner from Walmart and am not impressed. It seems to lose pressure within seconds and you have to wait for it to build up again; it often sputters, and on test areas in the kitchen to see if it has any... | |
| Micro Seiki RY-5500 motor noise repair pdf Just a note to let everyone know I am extremely gratified the repair instructions were helpful, and I'm even happier it stimulated some discussion about the Micro Seiki turntables--something I'm quite hungry for!I was lucky enough to find a Micro ... | |
| Micro Seiki RY-5500 motor noise repair pdf Simon--The RY-5500 is the *drive motor* for the RX-5000 turntable (as well as many other models). The famed Micro Seiki "air bearing" that you may be referring to was for the platter on the plinth, and found only on some of their very top-line mod... | |
| Micro Seiki RY-5500 motor noise repair pdf Another quick note on RY-5500 noise: I recently received an e-mail that described a subtle "clicking" noise emanating from the RY-5500 when under various thread or belt tensions. I noticed this too from day one of ownership and thought it might be... |
