| Audioquest vs Hunt EDA Mk6 record brushes That's a problem I've noticed with every brush I ever used. What to do with the dust? The best solution, IMHO, is the Mapleshade anti-static brush that uses ultra-fine stainless steel bristles that are finer than carbon-fibre and other materials. ... | |
| Tried the Grado Statement1? I love mine. It came as a "throw in" mounted on the arm of a SSM reference table I got used. The seller did not know which model it was and refused to remove it from the arm to look for model number. He just called it an "unknown Grado woodbody ca... | |
| LP Record Cleaning Machine - Ultrasonic or Vacuum 10x is probably way too low a magnification level to really see the results of your work. I read an article a while back by noted audio guru Tim de Paravicini about his vision of further technical advances in stylus design that will continue to ha... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Snell B Model. I have had a pair since they first came out in the early 90's and they are still outstanding compared to almost any speakers I have heard for under $7500/pr since. I recently needed to replace a blown woofer and had the mids reglued... | |
| What is your cartridge and tracking force used I run a Grado Statement 1 at 1.5g - 1.6g. set with a digital scale from Mapleshade that reads in hundredths of a gram. The Counterintuitive makes adjustments easy as pie on my JMW 10.5 arm. Also, since I finished setting up the extremely revealing... | |
| Vacuuming every time? LAST revisited? I have a zerostat that is still functional; it can reduce the magnetic attraction in a feather duster picking up 1/2" squares of plastic bag, but has never given me much sonic benefit. I did try it instead of the Mapleshade brush before vacuum cle... | |
| Vacuuming every time? LAST revisited? It's not the machine - it's the process. I've been using a Nitty Gritty 1.5 fi since the early nineties. Back then, I used Last preservative on all my new records, but not so much on used albums. I generally vacuum clean every 2 or 3 plays and att... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Styxtrekr, This is probably more detail than you asked for, but am convinced that environment is at least as important as inheritance in audio systems, and that other readers may want more depth. I am using a Classe DR-6 as a linestage. It runs to... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? I was shocked to learn this weekend that the M2-600Ms do not have the same Pascal technology that I had thought I bought based on the pictures in the 6 Moons review of their big brother. When I talked to Dennis before purchase, he did not mention ... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Guido, I find my self still unable to answer both questions due to the many significant changes I made to my system due to the installation of these superb little amps. I also reversed my own thinking on the priority and value of a serious, planne... | |
| VPI Super Platter out of square-will it work? You really should contact VPI directly about this problem. They are world-class at customer support. If you play your cards right, they may offer to remachine it or replace it or swap it out for an aluminum classic platter. They helped me tremendo... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Further adventures with D-Sonic m2 600m monos. Sorry about the long gap since I last posted about my efforts to fit these in as replacements for a well-loved pair of Atma-Sphere 100w otl's that had recently passed away after more than 20 glorious ... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? There is no way for me to know how far along they are in the burn-in process because they were demos and not absolutely brand new. Mr. Deacon had loaned them out to someone for a short while. I would like to put at least 250 more hours on them bef... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? I bought the demo M2-600M monoblocks from D-Sonic. I have been listening to them for 4 days now and they already far exceed my expectations. I am still juggling around power cords and screwing around with component placement now that these tiny bo... |
