| Frustrated with Vinly As far as reissues vs original pressing is concerned it is a crap shoot. Can go either way. As far as gunk in the groove of new records is concerned, there isn't any. Nada, nothing. I once played 15 new records in a row under a dust cover using a ... | |
| Your opinions about KOETSU URUSHI BLUE or VERMILLION Koetsu's may vary a little one to another even of the same model. then there is the set up and toenarms used. The paint used has absolutely no influence on the sound. Mulveling is right! I did not know this but the Vermillion has a different coil ... | |
| Active or passive? The best crossover is no crossover. Having said that I have not ever heard a speaker do low bass well. Maybe there is one out there but I have not heard it. So, we are stuck with subwoofers. I am going to side with George on this one. If you have ... | |
| Strange film on new records. Kryptonite nc. I would guess it is past the time to return the records or they are limited old stock and hard to find. A pressure washer will not damage a record. I will prove that when the weather gets warmer. As I have said before I never have t... | |
| Your opinions about KOETSU URUSHI BLUE or VERMILLION Andy, Koetsu's have nice warm bass if you put them in the right tonearm.They are very stiff cartridges and require a tonearm with a high effective mass on the order of 18 to 20 grams. If you put them in a tonearm that is too light the bass will ge... | |
| Jerry Raskin's Needle Doctor Gone? Yes, it is strange he did not sell the business if the "money was good."He could have just fire saled it or given it to the employees. Something else is going on here he does not want to talk about. Cancer of the tongue is certainly a brutal disea... | |
| Strange film on new records. I forgot to mention. If it is a fungus soaking the records in chlorine bleach and water before using the pressure washer will kill the fungus. | |
| Strange film on new records. uberwaltz, the mold release agent is mixed in with the PVC. It is one of the additives along with plasticizer. Acetone will not melt the record. P-J, try brake cleaning fluid. Wipe with a microfiber cloth. Most brushes will not reach to the bottom... | |
| DIY Acoustic Panels millercarbon, if that is true all you have to do is adjust the damper but it would depend on the length of the chimney. | |
| Seeking Consultant/Designer for Acoustic Treatment of Room jb, where do you live? How large is the room? Describe it for us.Your system?This is not magic. Many problems are predictable and can be dealt with inexpensively. The best advice is always going to come from someone who is not trying to sell you s... | |
| Audiopile hyperbole, reference, SOTA, ultimate and more... Don't buy used and it is not a problem. | |
| DIY Acoustic Panels Don't waste your time. It won't do anything either way. The fireplace is most likely not at the early reflection point. Find the early reflection points using the mirror method and dampen these with acoustic tiles. | |
| Speaker Stands Filled With Kitty Litter? TRUE??? Of all the silly things I have heard. Stands are to elevate the speakers to the right height and angle them for time alignment. The speaker weights way more than the stand. Adding mass means nothing. But if you are going to use kitty liter I sugge... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly Hi jay,If it is new records you are playing cleaning them will not do anything except make things worse. Some record companies just do a crappy job of pressing records. I have $75,000 worth of record playing stuff and I never clean a record I purc... | |
| Which cantilever to choose for re-tip If you are a klutz most definitely Boron. Harder to break. Millercarbon, stick with your Koetsu and get off that "jitter" merry-go-round. Ledermann could never tell what these cartridges really sound like because they "jitter" too much. Imagine th... |
