| Record cleaning fluids I have been using the L'Art Du Son for several years now, (with a BIG thanks to Audiogoner Theo. He has tried a bunch of different fluids and had a batch of this left over. He now uses the Walker 19 step process. Just kidding on the 19 steps, but ... | |
| Silicone fluid for Moerch tonearm damping? Holly...I didn't know what "hors de combat" meant either. I had to look it up. It means "outside the fight".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hors_de_combatGlad to hear you finally got your cartridge! | |
| Seeking some guidance on Sinatra You didn't state whether you are looking for LPs or CDs or downloads, but if you want vinyl, Mobile Fidelity has reissued a lot of Frank's albums. I have all of them and most of them are stunning.My favorites:Swingin' SessionsThe Concert SinatraNi... | |
| Sony - What were you thinking? Another down side to at least the $2000 unit, (not sure on the other ones) is that is has no digital output. So you have to use the built-in DAC on the unit and can't connect your outboard DAC, if you have one. | |
| XLR or RCA? I would like to add to what Al says above in that the XLR connector itself is much better than most of the RCA connectors. IMHO, better than even the locking RCAs. Another potential added benefit to using balanced cables. | |

| VPI TNT help It's not made of foam. It's a delrin, (rubber) washer and yes you put in on under the record. This forces the LP up just a tad and allows the clamp to "press out" the record at the edges on the platter for a flat fit.From the manual: Place the ru... | |
| Silicone fluid for Moerch tonearm damping? Holly...I would wait and listen to the combo of your DP6 and DL103 without any damping fluid. I really think you will like it as is.IMHO, it's always better to have no fluid damping than to over dampen things. Getting the correct amount of fluid i... | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." I agree with Mapman. Excellent cartridge. | |
| Audio Research LS2 vs Audio Research SP16L Maurizio...congrats on your new preamp! Enjoy the music!! | |
| Grado Reference Sonata re-tip Yogiboy is correct. Not only the Needle Doctor, but almost any Grado dealer can do this. You send in your cartridge and they will send you a new one. The price for your Sonata is $400.00. That's why I went with Peter's retip of $250. If you want t... | |
| Driving a power amp with an integrated amp? As long as the integrated amp has separate preamp outputs, then no problem at all. | |
| Grado Reference Sonata re-tip Several years ago, Peter did both a Sonata and a Master for me. I thought that both sounded as good if not a tad bit better. They seemed to be a little smoother. | |
| Vincent SV-800 Class A Amplifier Gets Very Hot Generally, Class A amps run extremely hot. That's the nature of pure Class A topology. | |
| Preamps, balanced and unbalanced lines out... Most preamps will output simultaneously to both balanced and unbalanced outputs. Usually you don't have to do anything to make this happen.I know there are a few that can switched through the menu system to output to either or all.I have done this... |
