| 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. | |
| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable Testpilot, well then I guess origin live has some work to do. A turntable should be a set it and forget it device. Drifting motors and controllers is not acceptable in this day and age. Neither my SOTA or SME vary at all, cold, warm, upside down o... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile The question is what is the highest groove velocity you would see on records and can the cartridge get through it without mistracking. I am not sure what that number would be but I can say that there are a number of cartridges I have never heard m... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile cleeds it takes more force to move the stylus of a less compliant (stiffer) cartridge than a more compliant (softer) cartridge. That force is supplied by the turntable spinning through the vinyl of the record groove. In other words the vinyl has t... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile I forgot. In terms of record wear there are other variables than stylus profile like compliance and tracking force. Styli with larger contact patches are a benefit given the same VTF. SRA and azimuth have an influence but not as much as you would ... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile I think rauliruegas has the best handle on this subject. Any cartridge is going to sound better when it is set up properly. Tracking is paramount. The overall sound quality is determined by the design of the cartridge and the manufacturer’s attent... | |
| Best speakers for HT usage? Sanders Model 10, any SoundLabs. | |
| Sonus Faber Aida (I) vs IL Cremonese? The Aida is my favorite point source loudspeaker. Not only does it sound wonderful but it is beautiful to behold. If I were not an ESL junky it would certainly be the speaker I would go with. The Macs will drive them fine. For the best sound with ... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Excuse me for the last post. I'm on some pretty heavy drugs right now and my mind is stuttering. The tie rods and struts can always be returned to stock. When was the last engine rebuild? You can always make it a looker again if you put the money ... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Clio09, any 911 can be a valuable car as long as it has not been wreck, is not rusting and has not been modified. You want to use the factory mounting points for speakers and electronics that fit in the factory space. Outboard woofer enclosures ar... | |
| My Cary amp - the story of a hum and a bug I am totally with bdp 24 on this one. There is no excuse. Sell it and never buy another. Tell the new owner about the hum and the fix and let him deal with it. You'll lose some money but Life is what happens while you are making other plans. | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. From a slightly different angle. Depending on the condition and value of the car, with 911s you do not want to deviate so far as to not be able to return the car to stock. Use drivers that fit in the factory locations. Do not cut into or drill any... | |
| Researching value of two pairs of hi-end speakers As you may have notice by now loudspeakers do not represent valuable objects unless you can prove Marilyn Monroe was listening to them while she was dying. If you happen to like the way they sound and the price is right, go for it. Otherwise not ... | |
| Speaker selector app. Just more drivers in a box Larry. They may be very well designed in terms of driver choice and cross over design but in the end they are just more drivers in a box. If it comes down to that type of speaker I have not yet seen one better made than ... |
