| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? Tubes vs. ss. Next up, “are expensive cables worth it?” , then “digital vs analogue”, “cd vs streaming”, “what is the best X?”, “measurements vs. listening”, etc. ad nauseam. It’s just trolling by novices. | |
| How Long Is Too Long? Management skills, and time management skill, customer service, business savvy, are all quite different from design and technical abilities. Your guy has only the latter. It rarely makes for a successful business. he doesn’t have enough help or... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Maybe I was wrong, just ordered Tergitol S 7 from Advance Scientific. $69.75 incl shipping for 100 ml. We’ll see ic I get it. I was impressed by @wizzzard’s apparent knowledge and sincerity. Although, many people question the use of alcohol ... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" OP, Tergitol -s-7 is apparently only legally sold to research labs and industrial (non-medical) facilities, in the US. So we “consumers” can’t readily get it, if at all. Is Ilford an acceptable substitute? | |
| Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future? Boxes deteriorate in un-air-conditioned storage. The foam snd packing is more important than the boxes themselves. | |
| Turntable weight affects speed Agreed, increasing the load might be detrimental. Lightweight Origin Live “weight” is on the way. thanks for all the ideas. | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much This is a standard sales technique - for auto sales. For Stereo equipment not so much. Car sales is a different business model. How should a bm shop deal with tire kickers who will waste their time, then go buy online? I have known people ... | |
| Bang for the buck I have a pair of PMC Fb1i Signatures listed (on the free site) that are perfect for that size room. PMC’s use transmission lines so they have superior bass for their size, and are used in many major recording studios. Only downside is the high p... | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much You don’t just demo equipment (which isn’t usually very useful; too many variables), you are evaluating the dealer, who one day may be needed for service, support or advice - or a positive buying experience on a c. $20k purchase, which should be a... | |
| Sensitivity 86 v 90 I went ahead and bought the less sensitive speakers (PMC 25.26 @ 87db, replacing PMC FB1i Signature @ 90db sensitivity) and if anything, they seem to produce more volume at a given setting. I can only speculate as to why, but now I’m certain that... | |
| Turntable weight affects speed trying to be more diligent about updating threads. Further research located an old review of this tt by M Fremer which said there is an internal potentiometer for adjusting speed. It was not referenced in the manual. So I bought the RPM Pro app... | |
| Turntable weight affects speed And, to cover as many bases as possible, I’ll order a new belt. A new bearing/turntable… not today. | |
| Turntable weight affects speed Thanks for all the well-considered responses! I’m planning to try the Origin Live Gravity One @mgolpoor recommended. | |
| Turntable weight affects speed Oops, first response wasn’t showing up | |
| Turntable weight affects speed The weight is 291g (10.25 oz). the tt was designed by Acoustic Signature, and is very similar to theirs, at the time. AS sells weights c. 280 g. So it seems like the ps should be adequate. Unless… the weight is c. 1 oz too heavy? so if I under... |
