| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @daveyf All very true. Unfortunately, it is a very significant fault based on common human behavioral traits. I use to give people the benefit of the doubt but you can't do that anymore. Friends and family are more important than ever. @rsf507... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac The Platinum is a great cartridge. It is very easy going, smooth and quiet. It's high output makes it a shoe in with most phono stages. It does not have quit the detail, dynamics or spatial resolution of the Atlas SL or the MC Diamond. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @cleeds I never get upset and always use a polite diplomatic manner. If I do not like the results I never use that entity again and start posts like this. Another thing is "I do not care about the price of the cartridge. Someone buying a $500 c... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @lewm The upgrade bearings are doing fine so far. The 997.1 was the last car with that design. It came with a much larger Intermediate shaft bearing. The 997.2 onwards do not use intermediate shafts. This means the heads, instead of being identi... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @daveyf , I agree but all dealers are not like that. Some are. @lewm Porsche replaced a lot of those engines even after the warranty ended. They sent letters to the owners of those cars telling them to get the intermediate shaft bearing repla... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @daveyf While I agree that a good dealer will try to ease the pain by making a deal on another cartridge. The dealer does not set the warranty and once you are dealing with a huge bureaucracy it is like talking to a brick wall. It is much easier... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @antinn Like I said, psychology is a powerful complicating factor especially when it comes to subtle differences. I just started using a new formulation with very small amounts of Tergitol and BAK, much less than I was using before. So far the... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @antinn I think there is way too much variation between vacuum machines to make a blanket statement. I'm a bit confused. You said the record did not fluoresce but the rinse water did. The stuff that did not fluoresce on the record now fluoresces... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @antinn , Great dissertation on Ultrasonic cleaning, Thanx! @wizzzard Finally got the Tergitol. I could only get 150 proof ethanol so I had to mix the formula by the seat of my pants. It works fine in my machine, spreads out over the record p... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @lewm MoFi is the distributor, Music Direct is the parent company. Yup, I went as far as I could go. Sorry the warranty is only three months. We would be happy to rebuild it for $6000. | |
| Anyone compare the Döhmann Helix Two mk2 vs CSPort TAT1M2? The Helix 1 MkIII was selected by Stanford university for some kind of testing on the congressional library. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @mrthunder The amount of Tergitol is so slight that rinsing would be an unnecessary step. It is also very soluble and will dissolve into the next cleaning. It will not build up on the record. What we need here is a test of cleaning records cont... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @kylehildebrant Getting the Tergitol online is going to be a problem. None of the lab supply companies will ship to a residential address. What I did was order it and send it to my brothers company. But, the company has to be involved in science... | |
| Reed 2G vs 3P…..Opinion please! Lew is probably correct. I prefer the design of the 2g best. It has all the correct geometry and a stiffer bearing arrangement. You select the arm wand based on the effective mass your cartridge wants to see | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mulveling I really was no paying any attention to the One Step thing as I do not buy them. The Hi Res digital downloads are superior most of the time and MUCH cheaper. Thanx for your support! Funny, I do not think it was the warranty that bothe... |
