| which Brand of Reciever produces the Best Audio? Marantz av recievers do a good job on both HT and Music. My system is a little dated (2003) but the Marantz sr9300 does wonderful in both venues. | |
| How do you steam clean vinyl LP's? I agree with sonofjim that used in combination, the rcm and steaming produce outstanding results. With or without steaming, a good cleaning fluid, good brush to scrub(yes u must scrub) and a good rinze with very clean water (i like ro water), are ... | |

| Dual 721 turntable - opinions/advice? This was my standard for many years. I owned a 701 then moved to the 721 back in the late 70s. It was a very quiet and reliable table. Some days i do miss that automatic function on the table. | |
| record cleaning findings/puzzle audiofiel: agree that surfactants lower surface tension. Alcohol will act as a surfactant in solution with water as will detergents and other chemical compounds. I also agree that alcohol does aid in evaporation as it helps create an azetrope with... | |
| record cleaning findings/puzzle i have found steaming does improve the quality of the cleaning regime i use but i do not use it on all applications. I also use a home made version using alcohol similar to yours and find it effective especially with steaming. IMO, the steaming ra... | |
| Best cart for a Michell Gyro SE/Tecnoarm combo? I used the michell with a rb300 arm, vdh frog and really enjoyed the combination. I moved later to an zyx airy3s and liked it even better. Both cartridges require proper tweaking of vta/vtf to get the best sound but once optimized, was very happy ... | |
| Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise?

Most vinyl addicts will overlook the occasional pop etc from a scratch or dusty record... | |

| what is the quietest air pump for my ET-2 ? I used a rena pump (aquarium pump) to float my platter on my maplenoll. Its a pretty low pressure unit. it is however very quiet and if you can get away with the low pressure, is a great unit. Now that I went with the large platter 90 lbs, i need ... | |
| what is the quietest air pump for my ET-2 ? I have utilized several compressors for my maplenoll. I now use a JUNAIR compressor that is pretty quiet but i could hear it if it was in the same room. I put it in a closet and i can not hear it. Junair also sells a compressor that is encased in ... | |
| time to change tt's The technoarm was designed around the Michell tables. I owned a gyro and passed it own to my daughter who still rocks with it. I do like the nonsuspended table but the gyro is a very credible table for the money. You might consider the technoarm o... | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? I have been intrigued with this arm design as it is a low pressure arm vs the high pressure arm i use with my maplenoll. I have not owned one of the premier pivot arms but have owned tables with rega and stock arms on duals and denons. My linear t... |
