| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? Nandric, I am feeling very old. I will tell my wife to offer you the L07D upon my expiration. I am not sure what is the bone of contention regarding vintage and Japanese turntables, but for what it's worth, I bought all my vintage Japanese TTs he... | |
| Tube Preamp, uses 6sn7/6sl7. With or Without Phono; With or Without Remote Volume, Did not know that. Is it now standard on new units? Or optional? | |
| Tube Preamp, uses 6sn7/6sl7. With or Without Phono; With or Without Remote Volume, If remote volume a must, then maybe he has to compromise on the demand for octal triodes. Consider Manley Chinook or Steelhead (used for less than $5K with phono). | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? I have to retract my sentiments about Hifido, to a degree. I once did successfully purchase a turntable from them, Pioneer Exclusive P3. That purchase was carried out on my behalf by a guy who lived in Tokyo. Then he subsequently asked me if I m... | |
| Tube Preamp, uses 6sn7/6sl7. With or Without Phono; With or Without Remote Volume, Pindac, I see your point, but on the other hand, what is the value of your post if no pertinent information is given that would permit anyone else to benefit from your knowledge and experience? If you want to honor the privacy of the maker, you mi... | |
| Miyajima MADAKE experience The RS-A1 is a bit crazy in some design aspects, but I believe the basic notion of an underhung tonearm with zero headshell offset angle has merit, and that’s why it sounds good. See debates on this subject elsewhere with respect to the Viv Float ... | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? Wrm, having visited a branch of Hifido during a recent visit to Tokyo, I’m wondering how they ever do business. Anything of real interest in that shop was marked as being under negotiation, therefore not for sale. How long can it take to “negotiat... | |
| Miyajima MADAKE experience Chakster hasn’t chimed in well over a year. We hope he’s ok. Why do you ask whether using the RS-A1 might be insane? Yes, it’s finicky, and one fears accidents that might damage the cartridge, but the RS-A1 in service usually brings out good quali... | |
| Tube Preamp, uses 6sn7/6sl7. With or Without Phono; With or Without Remote Volume, Pindac, I don’t understand why you cannot name the guru of whom you speak. Surely he does not do business in anonymity. But is it Thomas Meyer? | |
| Benz Micro Glider Loading I personally would use 47K ohms for a load with a HOMC cartridge. I agree. Reason why not many phono stages offer multiple choices for cartridge loading is that the switching mechanism itself, unless done rigorously, can add noise, etc. It's a ... | |
| Benz Micro Glider Loading What Mulveling wrote is relevant information, but if you know that you prefer a 1K load with your particular version of the Glider, that is the dominant information. If you plan to keep your Glider for the foreseeable future, then it is almost ce... | |

| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Yes, I was thinking after my last post that photoelectron spectroscopy might do what I asked for. Have you identified molecules that elute with IPA? In this regard, is ethanol safer? Thx. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Ljgerens, please define “dilute solutions” . Also, in an earlier post you mentioned your analytical techniques. I don’t recall a procedure that permits detection of “additives “ in vinyl, before vs after cleaning, whatever those additives may be. ... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Speaking for myself, I wash newly acquired "pre-owned" LPs, only. I buy only pristine copies, when I do buy pre-owned LPs. (Of course, I also do buy new LPs.) I wash newly acquired pre-owned LPs just once. Then I put a circular sticker on the albu... |
