| VPI HW17 vs Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe Yes, if I were choosing a new RCM with no financial limit it would be the KL Audio ultrasonic machine. It is one of the most expensive machines on the market however.Having said this, the Loricraft should suit your purposes because it is more tho... | |
| VPI HW17 vs Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe If the VPI 17 is anything like the 16.5 it’s a no-brainer Lew.The VPIs tend to be multi-groove whereas the Loris are focussed and do a much better extraction job. They are also reasonably quick (although possibly not quick-er... ;^)(At the same ti... | |

| Stylus Warm-up Time Just watch out those 3 fingers don't become 18 fingers ;^)I remember a study on the perils of drunk-driving when subjects were each plied with a drink then invited to write a simple statement after each additional drink, "I'm not too drunk to driv... | |
| Stylus Warm-up Time Here is a related aside. An interesting little factoid for your mental archive. I’ve maintained this viewpoint for decades and I’ve never seen an "official" confirmation until now but, even today, many folk are still surprised when it is mentioned... | |

| Stylus Warm-up Time ..Brings a new meaning to the term "Liquorice Pizza"... ;^) :D :D | |
| "Thriller": A great demo disc! Slaw...sounds like you're having a good time there! ;^)Good to hear your suspension/support updates are having the desired effect!Agreed, the MJ albums are sublimely produced. Great sound balance, pulsating bass rhythms, with very sharp and precis... | |
| Stylus Warm-up Time Dear DGarretson, Interesting solution! J So, 65F is about 18.3C. I used to listen at those temperatures in Winter but didn’t do anything to compensate other than adjusting the VTF from e.g. 1.65g to 1.68g. At the time, the Linn Ittok was exce... | |
| Stylus Warm-up Time Lol !!!! :D :D | |
| Stylus Warm-up Time Thanks Larry.Not that I'm trying to "impose a view" here. I've noted that some people will put an LP on then flatly refuse to listen until at least 30 minutes have elapsed. If that were me then I guess I'd be using old 2nd hand LPs rather than bur... | |
| Stylus Warm-up Time ...I should also comment "....and suspension" ;^) | |

| MRA : Myth or Menace? Time for a top-up. I’m only publishing this due to a sense of elation at nabbing a bargain.;^) My wife pointed out the bargain in our local “Walmart” (Asda) when she spotted Miles Davis “Kind of Blue” in 180g for only £4-99! It only took me al... |
