| Looking for not too expensive Turntable Denon DP80 can "beat" SP10 Mk2 by a small margin. Can be found for $600 to $900. (I owned them both, both in custom slate plinths, ran them side by side in my system. End of editorial.) What you may have heard from your un-named DD turntable may... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! To add to soundermn's apt questions, do we know the hours of use on the cartridge that you described, Jcarr? Thanks for chiming into this thread to enlighten us Philistines, by the way. Your input is appreciated.I have had the experience of usin... | |
| What is the correct way to use the Zerostat? Audphile, I haven't read every single post that followed on to your first one, but if you use the (old style) Audioquest brush AFTER you use the Zerostat, you are likely putting static charge back on the LP after you neutralized it with the Zerost... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! Moon, I guess I am suggesting that I don't know and don't much care about non-virgin vinyl. I would not characterize the question as a "concern" that is "widespread and longstanding". I would, however, be interested to know if anyone has a solid... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! I grind my coffee beans every morning using a grinder that is probably not as tough as the one used to recycle vinyl LPs. Probably I should treat the grind with my friend's Furutech before brewing. | |

| Oh no, there's metal in your records! Moonglum, You have a vivid imagination, indeed. You'd better get one of those Furutechs. | |
| AC power supply for Nottingham Analogue migueca, You wrote, "I also considered buying the Phoenix Falcon (after failing to find the Eagle, apparently discontinued and hard to get)." So far as I know, Phoenix Engineering is defunct along with all the products they made and sold. So all... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Audiofun, So if you have "ways to mitigate" noise generated by your GAE power supply, then we agree completely. That's what I wrote; all turntables should be run from an isolated AC power source if possible.Berning uses switching power supplies, ... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! He would rather not talk about spending $2500 (less the discount he probably finagled) for the Furutech demagnetizer that he now never uses and from which he never detected a benefit. OK? Was trying for a bit of humor. | |
| Analogue-free system Raul, My neighbor, who is a good friend as well, has a very very expensive digital set-up. I myself only own an Ayre C5Xe-mp and an Oppo 105 (one for each of my two different systems). However, I spend a lot of time listening to my neighbor's me... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! The presence of magnetizable (ferrous) metal in the vinyl and the question of static charge building up on the LP surface are two entirely different things. As some know, you can buy a device designed to degauss an LP; I don't know whether it's s... | |
| Turntable sounds so much better when... vinylholic, are you talking about loosening the collar that fixes a removable headshell to the end of the arm wand, or are you talking about loosening the screws that hold the cartridge on the headshell, or what? | |
| Analogue-free system OK, so most of us are sophisticated enough in this hobby to have figured out what pleases us, as individuals, and we have each made a choices or established a preference. This little waltz around is not going to change anyone. We can move on. R... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) audiofun, We are talking about turntables. I realize the "to do or not to do" of PSs for amplifiers and preamplifiers is a different kettle of fish, because the music signal is imposed upon the DC produced by the PS. In the case of a turntable, ... |
