| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar @wrm57 First off, the Graham is an extremely well made arm and a good performer. It's singular problem is it's price. There are to many arms that are as good or better at 1/3rd the price. Having said that. Both Graham and Basis by virtue of their ... | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar By all means the Aquilar. The Graham is a poor value because it spends a lot of money correcting a defective bearing system. It works but at an unacceptable price. The Aquilar (10" only) is a good arm but again not the greatest value. The Reed 2G ... | |
| Advice on Speaker upgrade vs System Component Upgrade You will get much more bang for your buck upgrading your speakers. The Sonus Fabers are a better value and you have the amp to drive them. | |

| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard Way back in the 60's it was easy to get Freon. It was the cleaning fluid of choice for Ampex tape machines and I was in charge of cleaning and demagnetizing my father's Ampex. I had a brown medicine bottle full of Freon. I would dip a ... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wolf_garcia You just made PVC flypaper. You have to use dry pistachio nuts. Peanuts are to hard to hold onto. | |

I use chlorinated brake cleaning fluid only. I can't stand the smell of the other stuff. It is great for cleaning bicycle c... | |

| MM or MI Cartridge? @jasonbourne71 I auditioned the Soundsmith Strain Gauge for over two hours at Soundsmith's music room. It requires its own power supply/phono stage and will not plug directly into a line level input. It is a very dramatic cartridge leaning heavi... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! Question. What three singers comprised the Little Feat Auxiliary? Which one married Lowell and which one was heart broken. Hint, He taught her how to play slide guitar. | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! @bdp24 Many do not know this. Lowell George is a graduate of the Frank Zappa school of rock and roll and conceptual continuity. You might note the similarity of the art of some of Frank's record covers and that of the Little Feat Covers. Lowell ... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard, PVC is very sturdy stuff. It is hard to hurt it. There was a huge argument over alcohol damaging the PVC. I ranted on about cleaning records with brake cleaning fluid, a CFC. Always willing to put my money where my mouth is I took 5 Ana... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @antinn Is there any data on the extraction of ESO by Chlorofluorocarbons? Granted it is only 1% of the formulation but wouldn't extraction of ESO actually harden the PVC? @bdp24 You have to get out of grade school first😆 | |

| War of the Worlds, The MiniDSP SHD vs Analog @erik_squires , I do not know much about that. There are issues that have to be dealt with like content protection, but it would seem to me when you are trying to get a format established you want to bring everyone into it you can. It is certainly... |
