| Lyra Helikon and Phd owners please Hello Dgarretson/AllSorry for any mis-information (I hate when I do that!) lolLooking again at the reference I use, the MusicDirect 2007 Catalog, they have two specs for the Helikon. Under "thier" Cartridge Graph, they list it as .35mv, under thie... | |
| Lyra Helikon and Phd owners please Hello My friend, it's Mark.I thought I'd post my thoughts-ideas here, for not only you, but also perhaps others who own, or may own a Sutherland PhD in the future. Some may remember that before, you had an issue with the Unit not wishing to shut d... | |
| Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of... Hi Jeff, I think the LP was thier title cut first Album, as I do remember the Song "Wonderful Music" being on it.We had discovered this band late one '70's night while listening to an old great underground Rock Station in Chicago, called "Triad", ... | |
| Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of... Can anyone ever recall an old 70's german group called "Grobshnit"? My spelling might be incorrect, but my buddy had one of thier LPs, and it was quite good.The title song I speak of, started out sort of odd, with the chanting La La La-La La La La... | |
| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Hmm, Ok Spenceroo, I see they are totally different from what I use.As I believe I said previously, I first bought these nice Japan resealable sleeves many years ago, then went in, and bought some more, and they were different, and brought them ba... | |
| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Hmm, Spenceroo, May I ask you this?Where the Peel Strip is on the MusicDirect Outer Sleeves, does this have what appears to be some black ink Japanese writing? Mine does, and these that I have are prefectly crystal clear, like looking through a Pa... | |
| Name a couple of HOLY GRAIL LPs I'm very fond, and have a special place for my Mo-Fi Emerson Lake, and Palmer Tarkus, and Trilogy LPs. Great clarity. I guess it's the "ear" of the beholder. Mark | |
| How to change vacuum tubes on the VPI 16.5 ? Emaailsts,I think you forgot one step, the Archivist Formula! :-)I just bought the whole kit from Jim at AIVS.Doug D might chime in here soon, but from what I understand from him, each following step compliments, and further enhances the previous ... | |
| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Hello Spenceroo,To tell the truth, I'm unsure what these Japanese Outer Sleeves were in thickness, and perhaps I was correct the first time with my rememberence that they were 6 Mil? lolAnyhow, they are nice, aren't they?Sadly, all these little go... | |
| new Aja 180 gram vinyl pressing just arrived And that's exactly what I did, found a mint original the other day for 50 cents at the local antique shop. Mark | |
| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Correct Johnbrown, I believe I did make an error stating they were 6 mil thick, and are probably 3 mil thick? Bes at MusicDirect can probably confirm this.What I think the material is, is Mylar, and heck, I got Snare Drum, Snare Side Heads that ar... | |
| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Hi Spenceroo,What I believe about the Original Paper Sleeves, and I'm sure this is why we all "convert" over to a better Inner Sleeve, is that the repeated removal, and insertion of the LP will eventually cause scratching to the LP. The Paper IMO,... | |
| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? BTW Spenceroo, Congrats on the great finds! Enjoy! Mark | |
| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Spenceroo,What I have always done, and I'm sure all will agree with my practices, is that any plain jane inner paper sleeves with no writing on them, or the ones that may show just other releases by the manufacturer (EMI-Capitol, RCA-etc) I usuall... |
