| Best ultrasonic lp cleaner in 2020 and what surfactant best? @tablejockey The Spin Clean works fine, I have one of those also, but you still have to dry the record whether using the Spin Clean or whatever. So your point that the extra step of drying the record further adds to the complexity is moot. The ... | |
| Best ultrasonic lp cleaner in 2020 and what surfactant best? I have the Kirmuss Ultrasonic RCM and all you do press the clean button and it cleans 3 records the in 5 minutes. There are no steps. All ultrasonic cleaning systems, whether for records, jewelry, medical instruments or eyeglasses require that ... | |
| Sue Kraft My condolences. I enjoyed her reviews and she was one of a very few females in this male dominated hobby. Perhaps you may not want to disclose this, but if we knew her location it may be much easier to find a home for her audio gear. | |
| What's the best non-DAC streamer? Could I ask some naive questions about streaming and subscriptions, as I do not do any of this at present and am trying to conceptualize how it all works. From the thread I understand that Qobuz, Tidal and others are subscriptions preferable over... | |
| Don't like vinyl aewarren: Well said! Even when the plan is to have some background music, I am drawn to "the chair" if the TT is spinning a record. I have pondered this often and can come up with no reasonable explanation. | |
| Speakers that are a great value! Since you are on a budget (as are we all to some degree) I would suggest you narrow your speaker options down to high efficiency speakers, ie 95db or more. The reason being that you can cut costs by buying a lower power or perhaps integrated tube... | |
| More Dynamic Speakers Than Vienna Acoustic I second what Wolf said. Micro and macro dynamic responses improve rather dramatically when you jump to horns, especially in the 100 db efficiency range.I made the change years ago (AG Trios) and have never felt the need to update my system. The... | |
| Subwoofer matching My experience with matching subs to just about any speaker is to go with an array of multiple subs rather than just a pair, as others have correctly observed. The idea is to have a large wave launch that can match the volume level of the much fas... | |
| Advantages of owning equipment from major audio brands vs. boutique shops? Sophia Electric is also a boutique brand of electronics that gives great value, great support for their products after purchase and they have been around for decades. | |
| Playing mono records properly without breaking the bank - a phono pre-amp question. @folkfreak, yes that is what I concluded. The more expensive MC stereo cartridge was giving me more information and dynamic bloom than the lesser MM mono cart. However, I remain baffled that many of my RCA monos have a bigger sound and slightly ... | |
| Playing mono records properly without breaking the bank - a phono pre-amp question. Because I have a lot of mono records in mint condition I thought it would be worth the effort to do just what you are considering, which is to get a dedicated mono set up with mono cartridge and separate arm for my TT. Having gone that route, I f... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush If you prefer tubes and have a low output moving coil it is best to use a solid state phono pre and employ tubes in the downstream electronics. My recommendation would be to go with Nagra BPS. It has high enough gain for low output MCs, runs off... | |
| Going Battery Powered The areas where DC power gives you the best return is where the signals being amplified are tiny such as in a phono preamp or turntable. I have an turntable that is battery operated and a Nagra phono preamp that runs off a 9 volt battery. Unlike o... | |
| Has anyboidy had any experience with an 833-A single-ended triode amplifier? Thank you Greg. | |
| Has anyboidy had any experience with an 833-A single-ended triode amplifier? I've not been able to find Will Vincent's website, could someone post it or is that not permitted on this forum format. Thanks. |
