| 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... | |
| Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet i've owned my Audio Desk Systeme RCM for 3 years....and love it. and recommend it. previous to owning this RCM i owned the VPI 16.5 for 9 years, and then the Loricraft PRC3 for 4 years. i sold both of them.and then earlier this year i did purchase... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Marc,nice write up and sounds interesting. i'd love to hear it someday and see how it does relative to my beloved but departed Garrard 301/Loricraft.we need pictures!best regards, | |
| comparison between SS Spectral and LAMM tube amp back in the day; i owned Kharma and 75 watt Tenor OTL monoblocks. however; my Kharma Exquisite 1D's were a little easier load than the 3.2's. when i had the Kharma's i did listen to the 3.2-Lamm ML2 combo i did not care for it as it had a slightly... | |
| Goldfinger Statement, Lyra Atlas or Ortofon Anna? hi Alex,i've have only heard the Goldfinger at shows in unfamiliar systems, and i'm not sure i've heard the most up to date version at all. my impression was favorable but not very useful; sorry. 10-12 years ago the Clearaudio Insider Gold was my ... | |
| Goldfinger Statement, Lyra Atlas or Ortofon Anna? i've not heard the Atlas; but i hope to at the Newport Beach show next week.i have had the Anna since January; and it's the finest cartridge i have heard. simply amazing. i owned 3 A90's and it builds on the strengths of the A90 but has a richer t... | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 Smoffatt,i've not heard the Atlas, neither do i have a feel for the Phantom II compared to the Supreme.i do think strongly that getting the best tonearm is highest on my list as an overall system building approach. and the Talea 2 would likely end... | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 Mike, how does the Anna compare to the A90?this is an Atlas thread. you can read this post and following posts from my system page speaking to your question. | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 MikeYou are obviously right about the Telos. My intent was not to belittle a great arm, but a narrow and somewhat theoretical curiosity :if this is soo good,can it /does it get any better than this? Fortunately I may never find out as I don't have... | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 congrats on the Atlas. i hope to hear one soon.From everything i have read I am sure that the Telos is a better arm. But at this level, I suspect, the improvements are miniscule. Telos owners will rightly disagree.the Talea 2 is a fantastic arm. i... | |
| Record cleaning fluids i also like the AIVS multi-step cleaner method as the best i've tried. i especially like the Ultra clean water rinse as a final step.having an RCM that allows for different types of cleaners i think is a good thing. i've gone from having only a on... | |
| Talea Arm: What cartridges are best? hi David,congrats on the Talea 1, it is a great arm.i owned the Talea 1 for over 2 years and had maybe 5-6 cartridges on it.....including the A90, Lyra Olympos SL, Azden YM-P50VL, Miyajima Premium Be mono and others....i've also heard the Talea 1 ... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine - Loricraft PRC-3 vs. 4? The Loricraft is a cheap copy from the Monks.Syntax,does this go for the current production run of the Monks with the Son in charge, or just the vintage Monks? and do you know if there are performance consquences related to the different build qua... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine - Loricraft PRC-3 vs. 4? Peter and David,maybe it's between my ears about the cleaning speed being faster. i never had the PRC3 and PRC4 Dlx at the same time. there was 2 years between those 2 with just the Audio Desk. it just seems quite a bit faster with the PRC4......a... |
