| Upgrade from Sumiko Blue Point #2 Thanx lewm, I have had several Clearaudios and they all say made in Germany whether that is true or not. If you look at the construction my comment holds. The Japanese are very capable of building fantastic cartridges. I have several but we are ta... | |
| Upgrade from Sumiko Blue Point #2 You were headed in the right direction yankee 6000. The Ortofon Quintet Black S is as much cartridge for the money as you will ever see. The other cartridge to consider in this price range is the Clearaudio Concept MC. The Ortofon is more neutral.... | |
| Are these damned brands or not good speakers? I think it cuts both ways. There are small companies seriously trying to make a good product and there are companies just trying to make a profit. As always it is consumer beware. It is difficult to audition equipment correctly which is why I am v... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid Looking back voiceofvinyl obviously has a lot more experience cleaning records than I do. Tergitol would certainly be a reasonable additive to distilled water and it is quite true that certain fungi will grow on records. Down in Florida I saw many... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid Nothing like having an SEM at your disposal. scott69 how were you cleaning the records? A lot of people are going to say if you did it one way or another you would not have gotten the same results particularly the ultrasonic people. Since you are ... | |
| Klipsch, high end? Absolutely nothing has changed. | |
| Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170? jwh2, the Lyndorf has the best build quality but forgetting about the money the Anthem STR preamp has the best feature set and the more usable (understandable) Room correction/bass management. If My TACT died tomorrow and I could not afford a Trin... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid Voiceofvinyl, plasticizer molecules? Another myth. You can take brake cleaning fluid and spray it all over a record and rub the crap out of it with a white cotton cloth and you will not see any residue on the cloth (assuming the record was clean) ... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid bdp24, I beg to differ. The only pathetic vinyl collection is no collection.I have stated my position that the best way to keep clean records is don't let them get dirty in the first place. It is an approach that has worked perfectly for myself an... | |
| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable The grid is constantly adjusted to within 0.5 Hz of 60 Hz. It tries to vary with load. Higher loads tend to slow it down. The number of cycles per day is held to a constant (so clocks will stay on time). Any spurious signals contained on the line ... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid mofimadness, I do not know what cleaning technique you use and it is probably more advanced than what I do but if you use a Spin Clean with L' Art if you do not do a separate rinse cycle with distilled water the residue will gum up your stylus aft... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile Here is a nice little dissertation http://www.pspatialaudio.com/max_velo.htm | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile Cleeds, I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Given the same stylus profile and tracking force the less compliant cartridge will wear the vinyl down faster than the more compliant cartridge. Tonearm friction means almost nothing as... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid Denatured alcohol is bad news on vinyl but Isopropyl is fine. I mix 75% distilled water to 25% 91% isopropyl. The alcohol increases the vapor pressure of the solution (drys faster). I tried L'Art Du Son. It works but you have to rinse the record ... | |
| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? Fanotunes, use a Pass preamp and get an ARC phonostage. |
