| Question about how analog audio recording works @mahgister , WELCOME BACK! I won't ask where you have been, curiosity can be fatal. This is not a problem of math. Math is a way of describing the problem. I believe it is a problem of conception not a problem in and of itself. It is reality and... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @ieales , As a former Tympany user myself just what are you doing now? The system you described above? | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. There is now an LFT-8c. It has a new woofer and a price jump to $4800 pair. First off, this is the speaker value of the century. It is a Line Source Dipole (for the most part) with a force over area drive. All points of the diaphragm are controll... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard , This is a continuation of the last post. Is the BAK detrimental in any way? The effect on static was a total surprise! As I said before my turntable uses vacuum clamping, a great way to generate static. The charges were so high that i... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard , Thank you for your extended response. Yes, it is Triton X 100 which I got from my hospitals lab. I am a retired family doc. I use supermarket distilled water. If you let 1cc dry on a black plate you will see a white residue. My point... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard , I forgot to mention BAK (benzalconium chloride) as a cationic surfactant helps prevent static buildup on the record. This formula does leave a residue on the record which if used with a vacuum machine is very slight. I have to clean st... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard , excuse me, I missed your comment on denatured alcohol. I was using isopropyl alcohol and will switch to pure ethanol. To Orient you correctly my formula was 1 gallon water, 1 cup isopropyl alcohol. 2 drops Triton X and 2 tablespoons BA... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Anything and everything coming from Last is GARBAGE. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard Thank you for taking the time to teach us about cleaning fluid. I have been making my own for over a year. It is very similar to yours. I have some questions. Is there a problem using denatured ethanol? It’s more available to us. I have ... | |
| New Cartridge Causing Intermittent Popping @jbhiller , Nothing wrong with your system. It plays the other cartridges fine. It is a defective cartridge. You have coils in there that act as inductors inducing a charge in anything around them. If the cartridge is not grounded internally corre... | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? @wrm57 , Excellent. The MinusK is the best platform. It is impossible to know exactly what is going on with your turntable. I was never crazy about unipivot arms. What are you using to align the cartridge? | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? I think lewm meant the sonic differences between the 9 or 10 Inch and the 12 Tri Planar would be impossible to predict. He is right about the LT. I am amazed by the design and think it is brilliant lateral thinking. The understand it the best thig... | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? I would not go with the 14. Go with the 11. I do thing it is a better arm for many cartridges than the Graham and certainly a lot better value. My personal favorite is the 9. I understand the 11 and 9 won't fit. I own the MSL Signature Platinum an... | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm @phantom_av Maybe because your bass has disappeared? | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? @lewm, you would have to stick with items produced in the Asian market. I would think Technics, maybe Yamaha, Parasound, NAD and so forth. Speakers will be the hardest as the Asians have never been that great at them. I would look for something th... |
