| Whats on your turntable tonight? Reading this thread I often times get ideas of what to play, or what to buy. So, Thin Lizzy, hey I think I have one of their albums. I looked (everything is alphabetized) and sure enough, I have one album, 'Bad Reputation'. I bought it new in 1... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? I have seen so many wonderful concerts. Certainly, I have missed some good ones, too. The one concert that made the most significant impression on me and the one I would most love to be able to see again is The Who doing their North American Tou... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I was reading from these postings, about Sophia Pfister. I went to her website and both of her albums first-release are sold out. However, she has a reissue of her second album and it is being sold at a substantial discount from $25 to $5. Ship... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Steve, I am not familiar with the steam process. If you could enlighten me that would be most appreciated. And yes, plenty of LPs have that "whoosh" sound on some revolutions, especially in the dead space between songs but some even during... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Brian, enjoy the new phono stage. It is so awesome to add a new component into the system and experience the results. I'm addicted, but do need to watch the budget. This hobby/addiction can get very expensive. But oh, so good! 😊Enjoy it in goo... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? E.L.O. 'Face The Music' Cleaned on the Degritter and is noticeably nicer than it has sounded in the past. Great album!Joni Mitchell 'Hejira' I bought this on Discogs NM/M- and it arrived Wednesday. It looked flawless but was dusty. I cleane... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Beth Hart "Fire On The Floor" I recently received this and the music is fantastic. The pressing quality left a bit to be desired though. Higher frequency information was pushed in the background and lacking in clarity, or, "sparkle". A High l... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Jim, the Degritter is absolutely condo friendly. Perfect size and easy to operate. Fits right in as a quality component to any system. And works exceptionally well. I'm thrilled. | |
| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) @barnettk I recently changed from a high mass turntable, Micro Seiki, to a completely different philosophy. I chose the latest top end unit from Rega, the Planar 10. I had purchased a Lyra Delos cartridge for my Micro Seiki just a few months p... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Yes, the Degritter does come with one bottle of their cleaning fluid. I used just 1ml (they suggest 1 to 2ml per tank). Results were rather startling. I found musical information I have never heard before. Trailing strings, sizzle cymb... | |
| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) @barnettk I am glad to report to you that after cleaning my first dozen records yesterday on my new Degritter, the results are rather staggering. I cleaned and then listened to several records that I am very familiar with in order to have the b... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I got two MyMat. The one I have on the bottom has the 4" hole and then the one on top has just the spindle hole. The pliability of the material allows for the 4" record label to depress to the first MyMat. SQ is remarkable, certainly a very goo... | |
| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) By the way, I just completed a dozen records cleaned in the Degritter. My tubes are warming up now and I'll soon be playing some records to listen for proof in the pudding (so to speak). I have to say, the materials, build quality, and fit &... | |
| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) Keith Monks is the very best of all vacuum type RCM, there is no doubt about it. However, it is not ultra sonic and thus can not clean down to 2-5 microns (the deepest bottom of record grooves). There are many opinions on which method to use and... | |
| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) @barnettk First of all, your system is lovely. Do enjoy it in good health.I wanted to add a suggestion that in your further search be certain to check out the Degritter. I have been an audiophile for near 45 years, growing in understanding thr... |
