| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? I co-sign mahler123 & dentdog. I’m very serious about the cleanliness of my grooves. You may not notice surface noise but I do. | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops You wanted 2 cents? Here is mine. I ultrasonic clean new (manufacturing particles ARE in the grooves. I can hear the difference) and used. If you don’t have an ultrasonic then devise some kind of system of cleaning that leaves a minimum of residue... | |
| Origin Live Tonearms I’m just a simple guy with a simple LP 12. I’ve never used a mono cart. What I can tell you is, I had a Rega and it was “ok”. I just got my OL silver and the improvement is striking. I don’t know what deck you are using so I can’t tell you the dif... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Congos: "Heart of the Congos" The recording quality isn't great but Lee "Scratch" Perry did the mix and it's absolutely hypnotic. I feel high just listening to it. | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment Modded Linn Sondek LP12. I had a Thorens 190 for the last few years and finally took the plunge on something decent back in January. The rest of 2021, I got reacquainted with all 600 of my LPs. The difference was stunning. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Friday is strictly, the blues: Last night I played Willie Dixon "Catalyst", B.B. King "King of the Blues", and Muddy Waters "Hard Again". That later at volume because it was recorded with so much punch! | |
| Gotten Any Good Trash Records Lately? As a matter of fact, I did. I bought something 4-5 months ago and they threw in a VG+ Nancy Wilson, "Today- My Way". I know her as a jazz artist but never heard any of her projects and F-R-E-E is F-R-E-E, so I cleaned it up and let it rip. I was p... | |
| Craigslist Fraud I have sold on CL before, with no problems. However, early Dec I posted a cartridge on several sites and had an experience 90% similar to @thelostdutchman. I get an email from one joker saying that he's interested. Then I get a text from a 3rd par... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning I hand clean with Audio Intelligent Enzymatic Formula, then their Super Cleaner. I follow with my $200 made in China ultrasonic cleaner. I use triple reverse osmosis purified water @ $.35 gal from a local marine aquarium store. I make a small mixt... | |
| I underestimated the impact a new cartridge would have Years ago got off of my CD player and got on an Ortofon 2M red. Then blue. Then bronze. Then black. I thought that I was pretty close to what I could justify spending after the addition of a Hagerman tube preamp and vintage Mullard tubes. After al... |
