Recording Limited?
The same issues regarding recording quality have plagued vinyl forever too. I am exclusively vinyl based, mainly because of my age, and not likely to jump on the digital bandwagon any time soon. I would buy the newest Meitner gear in a heartbeat i... 
Where to find these Beatles Albums?
I just received a gift today that another Audiogoner ordered through Acoustic Sounds. While thumbing through their catalog I saw they had the entire Beatles collection available as new pressings with many of them being mono. Unfortunately I left t... 
Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas
Slipknot1, this makes me anxious to receive my samples. It sounds promising. 
Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas
Paul,I've yet to receive my samples but will post my findings as soon as practical. I'm glad to be a part of the beta testing. 
Meitner DCC2
Henryhk,Do a member search for Vetterone and check out his system. He has a fresh post regarding what you want to know. We both have been too busy to get together since I first posted to this thread. I've been building him an equipment rack and ho... 
RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
TGB & Styx,Reverse osmosis is a great method for filtering water to the levels you enjoy but many molecules less complex than water get through the membrane. You probably have somewhere around 1 ppm total desolved solids in your water. This is... 
RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
I'm working today so I'll put this off until I get some input and more free time. There's no sense in doing this unless others are interested. Perhaps I'll just soak the albums for a month or so, clean them and note any audible differences. But th... 
In this corner Groove Glide...
I've used both and the Last is a great product. My turntable uses a felt mat and the static from it is problematic though. The record generally lifts the mat on removal from the platter. Then I need to peel the mat off the record and put it back o... 
RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
Okay, here's the deal guys. Tomorrow I'm going to immerse several records in an isopropyl alcohol bath, labels and all. I've got an import picked out, a generic pressing from the 70's, an early 60's jazz and my least favorite MFSL. So, here's the ... 
RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
Red2,You may have applied too much Gruv Glide. I've found that the quickest spray you can possibly apply to the pad is just right and you'll treat about twice as many albums. You don't need more than you need. Not to worry though. The stylus will ... 
Linn Tuner Modules for Kairn, etc.
I believe they are called the Kudo's sneaky module. All of Linn's tuners are great but the modules aren't in the same league as the separates. Still, they are very good and a great deal if you buy a used preamp that already has one in it. For the ...

Hey, you should have seen the dog interviewing Bill O'Reilly. It was hilarious. My favorite is the Star Wars skit. The fellow behind the dog suit puppet must be the quickest wit on earth! 
Linn Katan vs Linn Keilidh
You bet you can. The preamp simply feeds a full signal to the crossover cards in the amps. It doesn't matter which brand of preamp you use as long as it has the proper voltage to excite the amplifiers. As I said in my previous post I've used a Sup... 
where to find lead shot?
Guns stores locally are your best source. They receive large shipments by truck and that's the cheapest type of shipping. Not to worry about lead either as it is coated. Steel shot is also a viable option. Too much lead may suck the life out of an... 
Meitner DCC2
Henryhk,I'm posting to this only because I don't want to look for this thread at a later date. I listened to the DCC2 late last week for about an hour. It was only a couple of days old and since it needs 400 or more hours for break in I'll give yo...
