| Tonearm recommendation To Fleib and anyone else who was apparently offended by my post. I do apologize for going off topic. I was responding to Raul. But I too dislike the old analog vs digital shouting match, and I let myself fall into that trap for a moment. Mea c... | |
| VPI HW17 vs Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe The velvet "lips" on the suction tube obviously will get contaminated with particles on the LP that stick to them, rather than being sucked up with the cleaner solvent. This dirt can, in theory, then be spread around on the surface of the LP, whi... | |
| VPI HW17 vs Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe I really do appreciate these thoughtful responses. I did a bit of internet searching before starting this discussion. The results of that search included nothing of a very compelling nature as regards which machine to choose. With the VPI, I boug... | |
| VPI HW17 vs Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe The fact for me is that record washing is so low on my mental totem pole that I always felt the HW17 must be "good enough", and I never worried whether some other machine would do a better job. I did wash one of my most often played LPs on the Lo... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul, Is it your thesis therefore that you and we ought to be listening to digital sound reproduction? But the digital process, both A to D and D to A, brings with it its own set of distortions, ones that apparently are far more noticeable and ir... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? I agree with the substance of Raul's advice. In certain circumstances, one can get away with a first-order hi-pass crossover, which can therefore consist of nothing but a small value capacitor in series with the input of the amplifier that drives... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Harold, Have you had a listen to that rig yet? Seems like a great combination. | |
| Tonearm recommendation WRM, I've heard the Talea2 with a ZYX Universe cartridge at the home of my neighbor who was then using downstream equipment much like mine. (His system has since undergone a sea change, except for retaining his Galibier turntable and two Durand to... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Dear Steve, If your subwoofers have built-in amplification designed to receive signal from a line-level source, you will have a big problem driving those amplifiers from the output of your main amplifier; it won't work. The signal voltage is much... | |
| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable This was 2 years ago; the OP probably bought and sold the TX1000 in that length of time. But $6-7K range is where I have seen them for sale. I agree that $3K would be very low. On the other hand, the first guy, who said that they are hard to rep... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Wrm, I own a 10.5" Reed 2A with the optional azimuth adjustment. It's one of my favorite tonearms. I don't quite understand why you say that you don't "need" the azimuth adjustment feature because of owning the Feickert Adjust stuff. The Feicker... | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table Dear Hal, I think these last few guys have put you on a sensible track. Since your last reference point for what vinyl sounds like is your LP12, it makes most sense to spend a few hundred bucks just to bring your LP12 back to life, with no upgrad... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Isn't this stuff best posted on the "other" thread, sometimes known as "the thread" on MM cartridges? Just sayin'... | |
| Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner Recordgenius, Thank you for correcting me, above. I apologize for using the term "BS"; I only meant that there was good information and perhaps less relevant information and some other information with a commercial tint. However, I apologize also... | |
| Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner There's some truth and some BS in this thread. For a treatise that is worth reading, go here:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/finding-pure-water-for-record-cleaning-very-long?highlight=water |
