| The Best Way to Clean Records First of all with the Disc Washer system one does not stream a flow of fluid on the leading edge of the brush. One drops across the leading edge 3-4 drops then using the butt of the bottle to spread the drops out. This keeps the D-4 brush from bei... | |
| Choices, turntable purchase choices? After weeks of shopping and studying to find my next turntable to meet my new wants I chose to scale my options to a sub $2000 limit. It was still rather hard but in the end I chose to go and discover the Rega ideals in vinyl playback. I got mysel... | |
| Choices, turntable purchase choices? Again , I do appreciate all replies given. Every one of the turntable suggestions are likely great machines and would serve ably for years.Since the last few weeks of pontificating a new turntable purchase my mind and ideals have bounced around li... | |
| Think you know analog? Dhl93449,Actually wood glue as an LP cleaner is not a crazy idea. I've tried it and also Elmers school glue a few times. These glues are safe (being a vinyl based glues) and applied evenly using a piece of stiff cardboard as a spreader. I attached... | |
| Surface noise Increasing VTF seems counter intuitive, but one usually gets better tracking, smoother playback and ultimately will wear out LP's lesser if you edge towards the high end of VTF for you cartridge. Much of the clicks and pops one hears on old, used ... | |
| Choices, turntable purchase choices? Marantz TT-15S1, does not seem to be available in Canada. Can't get it from the USA (restrictions on sales via Music Direct). If it were so it too would be on y list. :-( | |
| Choices, turntable purchase choices? Bring my thoughts up to date.First thanks for all inputs to date.The tables I noted are all going to be good units and as such will likely keep me happy for hopefully at min 5 years before any possible upgrade itch were to return :-)I'm leaning to... | |
| Think you know analog? Um, the guy may be able to scratch (I don't know don't listen to that $hit) but my bleeping god. I knew more about turntable setup when I was about 12 years old than he does. The SL-1200MKII series of tables rock, I had one modded by Kevin at KAB ... | |
| Choices, turntable purchase choices? The WT Simplex is interesting as are all the WT tables. I just would like to have seen the Simplex have a more standard look in dimensions, length x width ,much like the other WT tables. It may not have much to do with sound but dimensions have an... | |
| Choices, turntable purchase choices? I'm open minded but I do not want to swamp my list of choices by too much though. I have a nice vintage table now and am only investigating moving on to new(er) stuff. That said, I'm looking for something different as well as hopefully a step up a... | |
| How many LP's do you own? How long did it take? 700+. Began my reentry into vinyl in 2003. 99% are thrift buys and by careful selection pretty darn good discs. Back in the 80's I had about 60Lps all bought new. Sold off analogue by 1987. I fell for the CD hype lock stock an barrel. Thankfully a... | |
| Analog is the new pink To echo here.Vinyl playback among the youth is not much different that when other gens were younger. Its about hip, cool and not really about or if analog sounds better. Of course back in the 60's and 70's there were less options in recorded music... | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? I love the things about gear. The techie stuff, the art and design and the subjective parts of it all in terms of emotions. As to music I appreciate good sounding music when replayed on a decent system, which I have. No not esoteric nor the best b... | |
| Reel to Reel decks True that about vinyl. Think about it as a long term archive only vinyl discs will stand the test of time. Sure they must be properly stored but they will be playable at any time in the future with a simple turntable and playback stylus.Analogue t... | |
| Best way to record vinyl to digital? Apple's own Garage Band works very well and is pretty easy to get a grasp on. It's then easy to make and send files in many formats to other places on your Mac including burning CDR's and uploading to a portable player such as an iPod or other MP3... |
