| Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records I do not wish to delve deeper into denatured alcohol. I would steer clear of it for anything except mandatory use. And that does not include cleaning records. I think it is ill advised to go out and buy products of complex composition, when really... | |
| Sota Eclipse packages for VPI tables. The SOTA ensemble will transform your VPI, and you can keep it if later you upgrade to a better VPI. But I don’t think the SOTA motor is totally free of cogging bc it is not coreless so far as I know. Don’t worry about it at all. | |
| Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records Antinn, I was mainly countering Mijostyn’s inference that denatured alcohol is essentially harmless. According to wiki, in some cases DA MUST contain at least 10% methanol in order to be labeled as such. That’s bad for us humans, but other potenti... | |
| Victor TT 801 Could be a language barrier. | |
| Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records More drum beating on denatured alcohol. It is just ridiculous to use it or any product that contains it, for record cleaning when anyone can buy nearly pure propanol or isopropanol for this purpose. Not only does denatured alcohol contain up to 10... | |
| I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts. The calculation is made by estimating the area of the stylus contact patch then extrapolating to the square inch, using VTF as the pressure. The result is a frighteningly high number for pounds per square inch, but the calculation itself is totall... | |
| Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records Ok. Use it. | |
| Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records “Ethanol” is ethanol or ethyl alcohol, a 2-carbon alcohol, not”denatured alcohol likely with isopropanol “. Propanol and isopropanol are two different isomeric 3-carbon alcohols. Not that it matters much. I would not recommend denatured alcohol fo... | |
| Victor TT 801 The world always benefits from a good cleaning. So thanks. | |
| I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts. What’s in it? Alcohols will eventually evaporate out of solution. I wouldn’t worry about it. | |
| Victor TT 801 After limited investigation, it seemed the TT801 is a TT101 with vacuum platter. The TT801 used ICs where the TT101 used discrete transistors, in order for the 801 to accommodate the plumbing necessary for the vacuum feature. | |
| Perimeter Ring Clamps: Yay?, Nay?, Sources?? Correct; I do not get your “sense of humor”. But I gather you followed Halcro’s advice, if that is what he wrote. As far as I know, he is very happy with his TT101. | |
| Precision Motor Controller The point is you don’t want a controller that varies frequency and/or voltage to provide AC to a micro-seiki that in and of itself is a controller, at least as I understand it. Furthermore neither the VPI nor the Walker might output enough watts t... | |
| Perimeter Ring Clamps: Yay?, Nay?, Sources?? I don’t understand. First, JP never suggested dumping Victor DD turntables. Second, in my experience the TT101 has been 100% reliable since JP repaired it. Or do you advocate dumping them because you may not be able to fit a ring? | |
| Precision Motor Controller What Dover said. An AC power regenerator might help, but neither the Walker nor the VPI is appropriate here. |
