| Nitty Gritty or VPI, Which record cleaner ? ? ? ? In response to "sean," Sota makes their record cleaner. I talked to Donna about it a couple of weeks ago. You are right, they look similar but don't be fooled the Sota is a step up. | |
| Static Build Up On Record Surface The static build-up on your LPs is usually caused by leaving the vacuum on too long. I am careful not to let the LP rotate more than three times. I know this sounds simplistic but give it a try. I just sold my VPI 16.5 to get a Sota record cleaner... | |
| Nitty Gritty or VPI, Which record cleaner ? ? ? ? I've never had the nitty gritty but I've used it on many occasions. I just sold my VPI 16.5 which I've had for years. Given the choice between the two I prefer the VPI. The reason I sold mine was to purchase the sota record cleaner. It is very sim... | |
| Preamp recommendation pre amp I let my stereophile subscription lapse about six years ago when they started writing about powercords. I bought into the interconnect and speaker cable and heard the improvement, but power cords were just too much. A little over a year ago I resu... | |
| Which SS preamps will compete w/ tubes? I was at one time convinced that SS amp and tubed pre-amp was the only way to go. After a few years of frustration in dealing with my counterpoint SA 5.1 I went to SS pre-amp too. I have avoided the interminable break-in period and the ultimate br... | |
| Vinyl, Shellac, wax- hat's the differance? Vinyl has been used predominately since the 50's and can be cleaned with an alcohol based cleaner. Shellac was used mostly around the same time as 78's were more common and they will not withstand the use of alcohol based cleaners. These statement... | |
| I need a phono preamp and I'm leaning toward Krell famaracaI liked the phono section inthe KSP-7b but every aspect of the sound was better with the KRC 2. I was not unhappy with the KSP I just thought the new one was better other than the obvious problem of the phono stage.SayasI borrowed a KPA fr... | |
| Wisconsin - Anyone interested? I know several other people in Green Bay that would be interested and would be willing to travel if anyone ever gets anything together. Give the ball a good kick and lets see what happens. | |
| SOTA Sapphire Upgrades I understand your hesitation to talk to the manufacturer but you don't need to worry. I sent my Sapphire back to Sota in Decmeber for recommendations on upgrades or a possible trade. I ended up getting a Star after considering several possible upg... | |
| Analog Front End for 5000 I couldn't agree with the Sota Star suggestion more. I began with a Sapphire and recently traded it in for a Star. Both the Star and Donna and Kirk at Sota are fantastic. I have never had a better experience in this hobby which is well known for i... | |
| Which VPI LP Cleaning Machine? I have a 16.5 and my brother-in-law has the 17. I have been happy with the 16.5 but since I saw the 17 work a few times I have to admit it is a much better cleaner. Can you justify the cost difference??? | |
| New Analog system. where to start? Everyone is going to have a different opinion, so here's another. I can't argue with the Rega arm suggestion since I am using an RB 900. I find the lack of VTA adjustment irritating. I do think you can do much better for a turntable though. I woul... | |
| Help setting up cartridge VTA I also have a Star but I am using a Rega RB 900 with the Benz Glider and I have to use a slightly negative VTA with this combination. You have it much better though since the Rega has no VTA adjustment while the SME is fairly easy to work with. Wi... | |
| Is there a turntable book? There was book published several years ago which I found to be very helpful. I did not read all the responses to your question because they seem to have gotten a little too foolish so I don't know if it was mentioned already. Laura Deerborn wrote ... | |
| columbia vinyl dylan remasters I am a Dylan fan but only own about 32 of his albums. There were enough that I didn't care about that it would make it hard to justify the cost. Unless you were getting them so cheap that the so-so (obviously open to interpretation) ones were free... |
