| What cartridge on your VPI prime? Indeed, the Winfield was a popular choice with cowboys. It sounded a cracking report. :)An Ortofon Windfeld on the other hand is an excellent cartridge.... ;) | |
| ARE YOU A " TRUE EXPERT AUDIOPHILE " ( T E A ) ??? I would suggest that anyone who regularly visits this Forum or similar is, by definition, an audiophile, however offensive that may seem.Now all we have to do is find out which ones are experts. ;^)Perhaps a quiz or an exam? ;^)(If the questions w... | |
| ARE YOU A " TRUE EXPERT AUDIOPHILE " ( T E A ) ??? Dear Raul, If you break the word Audiophile into its components and consider the “audio” component. If this were a word association game what would the word “audio” suggest to you? The strict definition is that audio is “recorded or reproduced ... | |
| Suspensions on turntable...really effective? Seen this DiamondEars?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1fUdHazpWU:) :) | |
| Why would anyone want 180g records ? A while back I reported a problem (on a 120g disc) in which I could hear the beginning of Side A audibly imprinted through the disc while listening to the start of side B. I'd never previously heard a phenomenon like this. It certainly wasn't the ... | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? The curse of the Twilight Zone has struck again....JTA wrote a response (Post no 56) which I thought was rather good and now it's disappeared..... :(Even though it is no longer visible I will briefly reach into that alternate Dimension and formula... | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? Dear Timothy, Many thanks for that extremely enlightening contribution. I guess, to an extent, I’ve been trying to establish a relationship between low “quiescent” noise and the acceptable cleanliness/playability of the groove. Also at the oppo... | |
| Spindle Holes Sometimes the holes are big enough but there can be some loose "swarf" present that needs to be dislodged.If the hole genuinely is too small I use a small penknife with a straight sharp-edged blade to ream out the hole. It only takes a few seconds... | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? "..Wanna see somethin' really scary....?"I don't mind straying off-subject in this instance. Does anyone else find John's azimuth research mildly alarming?http://db.audioasylum.com/mhtml/m.html?forum=vinyl&n=974192&highlight=&search_ur... | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? Dear Doug, I think I've stepped into a parallel universe. I'm responding to a comment that was never published ;^) We are currently looking at v1 (version1) of post no 48 rather than v2. V2 existed for at least 24, possibly 48 hrs before ... | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? Dear Doug,Many thanks for responding.I found your reply equally interesting. It got me thinking after your reference to the nature of the film on the stylus, that rather than (my) assumption that it was simply molten vinyl (i.e. prompted by folks ... | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? Dear Whart,That was possibly the most thought provoking post I've read on the subject. I can almost feel myself veering back towards cleaning new vinyl.I suppose we must remember that vinyl is, broadly speaking, a piece of plastic material. Differ... | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? Dear Geoff,That was one of the 2 classic arguments when record cleaning initially became a subject of debate. People were torn as to whether it was a good idea to clean the MRA/MRC off, by facilitating the passage of the stylus through the groove ... | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? Dear Doug,You offer an interesting alternative viewpoint on the outcome of record cleaning by saying that cleaning will make records noisier(?)Let me throw in a few wildcards :- Countless RCM owners will have waxed lyrical in their assessments abo... |
