| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" I am suggesting nothing for anyone else but me. And I do not own or ever use a US RCM. As previously noted, I use a VPI HW17. Good point if those other two stipulated they were using US. My bad. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Rich, Wizzzard explained why he recommends 22% ethanol, and his data support his choice. I’ve been using 25% isopropanol. Maybe I’ll adopt Wizzzards recommendation. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Except where are the data or at least a description of the results comparing very low concentrations of an alcohol to more typically recommended concentrations that hover around 25% or precisely 22% if you follow Wizzzard? You may say you use 5% o... | |
| Grado Epoch 3 Every time I attend a live performance either in a concert hall or a club I am reminded that this business of imaging in home audio systems is overrated. What with room acoustics, microphone placement and sensitivity, seat location, and etc, all b... | |
| Need recco for someone to solder tonearm cable clips It's very uncommon. You are fortunate. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" No knees is good knees. (Even a bad joke can help.) | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" My wife is a Rheumatologist named Cali. She does prefer Doctor, and she uses her own family name, and I’ve owned an HW17 for about 30 years. My only RCM. | |
| Need recco for someone to solder tonearm cable clips Very fine gauge pure silver wire is as easy to melt as it is to solder. That’s my thought on that. I’d like to know where are the electronic parts stores in the US that also have technicians that solder. Heck, I’ll settle for an electronics parts ... | |
| Shindo Vosne Romanee / MC240 / Linn LP12 / ProAc & Altec - DAC? I can only respond to #1. The best connector is no connector. Even worse than any single connector is using a connector to a connector. Using an adapter between a spade connector that is fixed to the end of your wire and a banana jack is not a goo... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" FWIW, and as someone else noted, you certainly can purchase TergitolS7 in the USA. Just google it. Cost ranges from about $70 to about $110 per 100ml bottle. Which would last most of our lifetimes at our respective ages. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Cleeds, the point is that unadulterated water is not wet enough to get into the grooves. The surface tension of water by itself is too high. So some sort of wetting agent is useful to reduce the surface tension of the washing solution, so that it ... | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App This is one of the eternal arguments among vinylphiles. In belt drive world, we have the light platter/high torque motor crowd vs the heavy platter/low torque motor acolytes. Then we have the idler/DD aficionados who jeer (privately) at both. Mode... | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App There is a common rationale associated with the combination of a high mass platter with a low torque belt drive. The idea is that speed stability comes from rotational inertia, not motor torque. The Walker Proscenium, all Nottingham tables, and ma... | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App Good. | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App Duckman, I am talking about the weight of the phone being unevenly distributed on the platter. That’s not the same as a record weight that fits over the spindle, or as a peripheral ring. In a high quality TT the platter has been dynamically balanc... |
