I wonder if the problems that are being experienced are rather simple, obvious ones, that something is somehow being overlooked? Have any of you possibly tried the use of headphones, o eliminate the possibilities of acoustic interaction?The Headph...

SunnyBoy my friend,I'm a little bit surprised you didn't go the full monty with the entire range of AIVS Cleaners, and Pure Water Rinse.They seem to be engineered that their products compliment one another in concurrent steps (ie: Enzymatic-Super ... 
MintLP Protractor Issue. Anyone else?
Dan_Ed,You are correct sir, that my manual as well says only the use of Lighter Fluid as a cleaner.Why I thought alcohol, is beyond me, and it seems like so long ago, that I do now forget what I actually used as a cleaner? lolI do have lighter flu...

MintLP Protractor Issue. Anyone else?
Yes, Yip made mention that if the Protractor needed cleaning, it should be wiped with Iso Alcohol, nothing else.And I did with mine once, due to seeing slight scratching of the overlay, caused by the Stylus at the Null Grids. 
VPI motor - upgrade to 300 rpm?

Not sure yet if my first response will be posted, but besides the possible issue with the Belt changing places on the Pulley, another cause could be the possibility of your SAMA not remaining stationary?I'm finding that out myself with a recent SA... 
VPI motor - upgrade to 300 rpm?

Hello Bill (Audiofeil) I know this sounds like a discussion that appears to be going back and forth, "yes it will-no it won't", but in the hopes of learning something, and hoping you folks will share some of your seasoned knowledge, why do you thi...

FBhifi,I have used the #6 One Step Cleaner "Of old", gotten from Osage Audio about 6-8 months ago. The newest #6 is said to be even better, now that Jim Pendelton has come across a better specific component in the cleaner. I could be wrong, but I ...

To FBhifi,AIVS #6 One Step Cleaner has been avilable for quite some time, but being that the maker states a new, improved formulation, then I guess you could call this particular #6 formulation new. Not sure if the newer versions are yet on AIVS's...

syntax, not to be argumentive, but yes, all things being equal, one should hope, that for the asking price of these Loricraft, or Keith Monks type RCM's, with their thread feed-point nozzle designs, that they should do a better job.But the first s...

A head's up on AIVS Cleaning products. I was informed personally by Jim Pendleton, president-owner of AIVS/Osage Audio three days ago, that most of his award winning cleaners have been recently improved again, and are currently on his shelves. Fro...
