| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review David,i have 10,000 reasons (my Lp collection) to optimize vinyl. however, no doubt that top level vinyl performance does require a sizable commitment. and simply the physical commitment to the space, fine-tuning and energy to change Lps is not fo... | |
| Isolation Devices: Any Good Ones? i'm a big fan of the Wave Kinetics A10-U8's under components. i use 8 sets of 4 in my system. some light-weight gear i use 3 underneath, my 60 pound amplifier i use 6 underneath. lowers the noise floor, increases detail, transient snap, and image ... | |
| What is approx. percentage of your total i had 12K or 13K Lps total a couple years ago; now i'm around 10k Lps. i culled the herd of fluf and crud that came with a few collections i acquired.there are approx 3k Lps upstairs in the rec room that are somewhat organized but not cleaned or l... | |
| I just heard the Wilson Alexandria XLF's Wednesday i'm going to bet that the tendancy to extra subs on the XLF's or X-2's have as much to do with amplification as to additional drivers, how do you get punch at the point of attack?....and the fact that the X-2 and XLF are a ported speakers.extra su... | |
| TriPlanar Tips i'll echo Pradeep's experience. the Triplaner is a fine tonearm. i owned it when i acquired the Talea 1, and even initially when i had the Talea 2. as good as the Triplaner was, both Talea's were better at most everything. it's not that the Tripla... | |
| Evolution Acoustics new triple run speaker cables hi David,you are welcome.no; i've not directly compared the EA Triple run to any other cables other than the double run.as far as Evolution not having the Triple run on their website, i have a different perspective. Kevin builds all the cables as ... | |
| Evolution Acoustics new triple run speaker cables i have the triple run Evolution Speaker cables that did replace the DRSC and the TR is quite a noticable degree better. and the DRSC were better than my long term reference the Transparent Opus MM2 speaker cables.i recieved the TRSC's in late May ... | |
| Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet interesting points, i don't know the science about ultrasonic cleaning so i can't comment on the still water and the heated water points, but i can tell you that records much prefer blow drying to vaccuum. vaccuum adds static, blow drying does not... | |
| Anyone who has had a VdH Colibri for over 1000hrs i've owned 7 Colibri's. the last one 4 years ago.one of them was stellar, the rest were teases. like the woman who has too high regard for herself, some days it's heaven, other days 'not so much'.and yes, on some pressings wonderful, others it was... | |
| Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet i own both types of machines. you can make a good case for either as the 'only' one; or make a strong case to 'need' both types.i made the same case on another thread that Norm makes about the fact that either machine likely improves on the other ... | |

| Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet Thanks Doug.If an Audio Desk lets us enjoy more LPs that alone would make it worth the cost. What good are my 4,000 LPs if they're all in the "clean me" pile?says it all.what i do is use the Audio Desk and then if i hear more tics than i think is ... | |
| Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet Jyprez:Be careful with ultrasonic cleaners. They can easily pit and damage surfaces unless matched with the materials being cleaned. When I worked for AMAT (a semiconductor equipment manufacturer) some years back we tested ultrasonic cleaning syst... | |
