| I need a turntable, only have $450 to spare... Rega P2 or P3 can be found used within your budget. Technics SL-1200 can be bought new for about that. There are lots of good used tables within your price range.Good luck,Wendell | |
| Record Cleaning Machine RCM Axelwahl, the OP asked about the 16.5 and experiences. I've never heard of the Hannl. I'll have to check it out.Wendell | |
| Driving Magnepan MMG's with 50 wpc Rawson GC It will work but you won't, in my opinion, hear how the MMGs are capable of sounding.Wendell | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee I owned the original VPI Aries and the first JMW arm with a Benz L0.4. I had no such issues. I would have dumped it if that had been the case.Wendell | |
| Record Cleaning Machine RCM No snark and sarcasm? What fun is that?You make a good point and when Bill refers to manual cleaning he is not meaning to not use a vacuum to remove the fluid.Wendell | |
| Record Cleaning Machine RCM Doug,I agree. Manual cleaning can be quite effective but I've never discovered a better way to quickly and completely remove the fluid, from the record, without using a vacuum.There are various ways to vacuum but none, in my experience,as efficien... | |
| What Printed Magazine do you prefer? Kurt_Tank,Different strokes. Fremer and Dudley are my favorite writers in Stereophile and the first columns I read. You can't please everyone. :-)Wendell | |
| Record Cleaning Machine RCM Bill said, "I hope this helps."It doesn't. I too have been collecting most of my life and I'm not sure there is a cleaning method I haven't tried. I always went back to a machine as the best tool to facilitate the process.If you manually clean 650... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine RCM Bill said,"No automatic machine can never compare with good brushes, a good solution, and elbow grease."Wow! I absolutely disagree with this statement. I find it as wrong as Roy Gandy's assertion that the stylus does all the cleaning a record requ... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee I have never had an analog front end that has required me to put up with sibilance. That goes for cheap to very expensive setups. Analog certainly has limits that one must accept. What you are dealing with isn't one of them. Perhaps there is somet... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee One other thought. Any dealer who does a setup and leaves it with sibilance isn't much of a dealer or setup expert.Regards,Wendell | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee The pictures don't help me. I think that sending the arm and cartridge to VPI is a good idea. I've owned many arms and cartridges over the last 40 years. In my experience, your problem has always been setup related. That doesn't mean it is in this... | |
| What Printed Magazine do you prefer? With the technology available I wonder why hifi+ doesn't have the magazine printed locally for sale in the US. It should allow them a newstand price that is cheaper than we now have to pay and might increase their circulation. Wendell | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee I continue to believe your setup is off. I know the Benz cartridge and the arm and they work well together. It is impossible be more precise from a distance. Is there a setup expert anywhere near you? Have you talked with Harry at VPI?Good luck.We... | |
