| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? Antinn, I haven’t taken the time to look at your references but there are two types of these devices, so far as I can tell. One type works via electrostatic discharge. That’s the type that produces ozone. Humans should not be in the room when they... | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? I forgot to add that I would bet several of the expensive ionizers, if stripped of the cosmetics, would turn out to have a heart consisting of one of those $30 devices you can find on eBay or Amazon. | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? Harpo, If you google "positive ion generator", you will note that they all also produce negative ions, and you can find on both eBay and Amazon simple devices that appear to produce positive ions on one lead and negative ions on another, usually d... | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? “It’s not good to run an ionizer continuously…” That cautionary note applies only to devices that generate ozone. The devices we’ve mentioned so far don’t produce ozone. On second thought, that plasma igniter might produce a tiny amount of ozone... | |
| Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring Clearthinker, with respect, how can a very short tonearm negotiate warps better than a typical longer tonearm? The effect of a warp on VTA would be magnified for a very short arm. | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? In that device, what keeps the positive and negative ions in the air flow from combining with each other before excess charge of either polarity that may reside on the target can be neutralized? | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? Poor man's CS Port IME-1/DS Audio Ion-001? https://dailycoffeenews.com/2023/04/13/acaia-unveiling-a-grinder-static-neutralizer-called-the-ion-beam/ As the article states, this product will be introduced next week at a coffee makers show in Orego... | |
| Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring au_lait, I did not mean to put you off giving it a try, but if you haven’t been able to verify that an aftermarket ring will not interfere with platter rotation, especially with an SP10 Mk3 or similar, I would either look for some verification in ... | |
| Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring Au_lait, I have a mk3 too. The design of the platter and the way it sits deep in the chassis is not conveniently compatible with any peripheral ring. I’m sure you appreciate that as much as I. Be careful. On the other hand, I have the OEM peripher... | |
| SME 20/2 Tonearm Ground Wire: Where in the table should be connected? First of all, if you have no hum or noise problem, you may as well do nothing. The only value of grounding is to reduce or eliminate such problems. Second, ground is ground (like every other sweeping generalization, there are exceptions), so all ... | |
| Kirmuss Cleaning System Discuss? Mijo, Your hubris in unabashedly recommending whatever it is you have already decided upon as the only and best choice for everything is so bald-faced that I find it inoffensive and sometimes even charming. You got wherever you are by thinking and... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 Apologies not necessary. Suffice to say you found a glitch in the wiring and fixing the glitch also cured the woofer pumping. Is that a fair summation? | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 I'm stumped. What do you reckon was the mechanism of your original observation? Which is to say how do you suppose the wiring fault had something to do with the woofer movement? I am not at all challenging you or trying to contradict you; I am ju... | |
| What are the audio differences you hear with turntable Mats. No_regrets, I do hope you like the Sakura/Boston mat. I auditioned about half a dozen after market mats before I settled on that one. But I do not claim to have a huge and comprehensive experience with the myriad of available choices. Also, I have... | |
