Getting and keeping records clean................
Has anyone had the experience, with hand cleaning, of having the stylus becoming the final cleaner and eventually totally gunking up. I had to change cartridges-very expensive. 
Ready to try vinyl
I just want to mention that I heard the mega-dollar Nakamichi direct-drive turntable. I thought that it obviously sounded like a direct-drive turntable(inferior to belt-drives, in my mind). It was the record-centering Nakamichi($10,000?). 
How do I go backwards?
I hope that you take my response about pre-1983 albums seriously, as pre-digital will change brain waves(which is why we listen to music). 
Review: DCM TimeWindow 1 Speaker
Has anyone tried to tighten the drivers on these speakers? They are fairly old now. Anyhow, I am a little wary, because of the yellow chalkmark on the tweeter plate. There are also two possible tighteners on the tweeters. What type of screw holds ... 
has anyone heard the nuforce amplifiers
I just got the updated Nuforce 8.01b back yesterday. Right at first, I thought they might be closed in. I have changed my tune. Without comparing them to the 8, they are incredible. 
Interconnects for the nuforce amp
I just want to thank Plato for the Signal Cable silver resolution cables recommended for the Nuforce 8 amplifier. They are not completely broken-in yet. Immediately, they were much more transparent. They have much more detail than what I was using... 
Interconnects for the nuforce amp
I just put in one set of silver resolution speaker cables to the side that has the new board or the Nuforce 8b. It does sound better, but I wonder about the bass. The Fulton Golds definintely play the bass. Do we need more break-in time. I'm wonde... 
ICEpower Digital Switching Amps?
I just want to respond to the digital thing. First off, digital is not music. It is a description of music. Go back to the theory and prove me wrong. 
Interconnects for the nuforce amp
They keep getting better. I haven't put in the speaker cables yet(I'm using Fulton Golds while I burn in the silver resolutions). I will post soon on the silver resolution speaker cables(8-feet, per Mapleshade recommendations). By the way, my inte... 
Does anyone get turntable set-up?
Slipknot1, I agree with Lloyd Walker, especially his last statement. I would also like to encourage loose cartridge bolts and slightly moving one side forward or backwords to help lock in the sound. 
ICEpower Digital Switching Amps?
I didn't read all the responses here, but just look at the responses. They seem to have to generate their own momentum. I could be wrong(since I haven't auditioned any of them), but the Nuforce generates their own momentum by themselves. 
Amp Help ICE or Class D
I agree with Plato, without having access to other amps. Is that important? 
Anyone heard Nuforce Reference 8 Amps?
I don't know how they compare to other amps, but they convey enough musical information to get you thinking. 
Interconnects for the nuforce amp
I want to apologize for my comments after 15 minutes of the Signal Cable silver resolution interconnects. It's like the guy feeling that elephants nose(or whatever they call it). It was way too soon. With some judicious adjusting of the volume, it... 
Interconnects for the nuforce amp
I just put in the signal cable silver resolution interconnects. They replaced Eichmann 6(mkI) interconnects that weren't broken in yet. Right at first, I thought they were an improvement. It's only been 15 minutes. They sound a little harsh. Does ...
