Record Cleaning Machine ~ Ultrasonic vs. Rest “It’s such a joy hearing more detail and less noise from familiar records” @kennyc Exactly! And it also gave me an opportunity to weed out records I no longer want to keep, freeing up space for new additions to the collection :-) | |
Aurender @pdjmwj You may have missed my feedback on your thread, https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2829917 “N10 is good streamer (better than N150) if you’re using AES/SPDIF output from streamer. Having said that, I would not buy N10 if Aurender is no... | |
Anyone heard from Charles1dad ? I miss him too, hope he’s doing well. Let’s hope to hear from @charles1dad soon. | |
Record Cleaning Machine ~ Ultrasonic vs. Rest Update: My Degritter Mark II arrived a couple of days ago, and it’s been pure fun revisiting records that used to have surface noise, ticks, and pops. Now they play ultra clean and far more enjoyably. Honestly, this might be one of the best decisi... | |
Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine @dwette My Degritter Mark II finally arrived, and after cleaning just a few records, I can say—it’s totally worth it. My record-cleaning routine is now on easy street. Only regret? Not getting one sooner. | |
聖HIJIRI Users thread Congratulations @jafant ….when you’re ready, try 聖HIJIRI SM2R-L "SOUND MATTER" Power Cord. It’s a very special power cord and complementary to IC and Speaker Cables. PS: I am using a full loom of 聖HIJIRI cables. | |
Aurender N10 still Relevant in 2025 N10 is good streamer (better than N150) if you’re using AES/SPDIF output from streamer. Having said that, I would not buy N10 if Aurender is no longer pushing software updates. So check with Aurender if they are still supporting N10. Streamer ch... | |
??? Which Would You Buy ??? #3 is no brainer…85% of the sound quality + $5K in savings. There are no absolutes here, just preferences and an ever-deepening rabbit hole lined with audio bling and conflicting opinions. | |
Remastered CDs, HDCDs, SACDs In my experience, the recording and mastering engineers often have more influence on the final sound than format. SACDs definitely benefit from higher resolution but I’ve heard plenty of CDs that sound just as sublime. A great recording engineer ... | |
Tannoy Striling v. Striling III LZ SE @mulveling Thank you again for sharing your experience in such detail. I’ve always been curious about the impact of upgraded crossovers but your comparison between the Kensington GR (stock vs. upgraded) and even the Canterbury GR puts things int... | |
Tannoy Striling v. Striling III LZ SE @mulveling Thanks for sharing the third-party crossover vendor—really appreciate it. It’s something I’ve been toying with for a while, but honestly haven’t had the courage to mess with the stock crossovers just yet. Your experience is encouragin... | |
Garrard 301 - Project Does anyone have any direct experience with Massif Audio record weight? Exquisite wood work for sure, would love to hear your one on one experience. | |
Garrard 301 - Project @jperry Thank you for your recommendation. Interestingly, Helox was also suggested by Artisan Fidelity. @noromance I hear you, I guess it’s a fine balance. Just like any other tweak, sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease. | |
Garrard 301 - Project Moving on, I would like to hear from some of the Garrard 301/401 owners on record weight / clamp they found to be complementary. Since I am going with Artisan Fidelity’s hybrid platter + Saphire bearing, their very own Aluminum Record Clamp will b... | |
Basis Audio - Exhorbitant servicing evaluation cost “they didn’t respond to my email” @montaldo Four to Five folks respond with positive feedback, does that enough to inspire your confidence and invest in their product especially if they have not bothered to reply. I am not trying to discourage y... |
