| Warmed cleaning fluids that is one of the functions of the steaming. It does raise the temperature of the fluid. Usually increasing temps does increase the effectiveness of cleaning. Damage to enzymes cleaners might occur (you have to consult the manufacturer of the flu... | |
| Personal turntable/cartridge evolution Pedrillo, love your response! Getting the most out of the equipment you own does take a lot of personal efforts to tweak or modify. My evolution starts with my parents zenith hifi from the early 60's. I remember that table because it had a cobra o... | |
| Cheap SS phonostage second the rotel 970. I recently moved up to the zyx artisan and did get an improvement in overall sound quality. But for many years, the 970 did the job with pretty good results | |
| Suitable cartridge fore Schroeder reference arm Not familiar with the schroeder arm, but i think the zyx lineup are outstanding choices for many different arms. I have personal experience with the universe and airy3 and have been pleased with the performance. | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Piedpiper, found a supplier that can deliver sheets of corian. Still looking for the exact or closest match. Size of sheet varies. The thickness of the corian is 1/2 inch but you can sandwich many layers together then drill out the motor enclosure... | |
| What makes for a "great" turntable? It depends what you are looking for. Good quality and convience, the older automatic dd tables could fit that category especially the longivity of those tables. For me, a great table is one that you do not realize its there when the music is playi... | |
| Projector VS some other type of HDTV High definition 10 ft screen. Front projection done well is as good as it gets IMO. | |

You might get other responses to the contrary, but i have used bleach (weak bleach solution) to clean moldy records when I have purchased some that had been kept in a moist area. The weak bleach solution ( one ounce in a quart of water) will remov... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Charlie--Thanks for your insight on the platter. I agree that resurfacing will be a challenge. I first have to understand the alloy then i can find a shop to do it. I found an article from another website on a rebuild of a maplenoll athena from 19... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Charlie--Good to hear from you. missed your comments in recent weeks. Hope you are doing ok. I know you had some health issues. As for the centerpin. I am having some manufactured out of teflon(two types) so if you or others have a need, i will ha... | |
| Best Turntable/arm/cartridge system for $30k to answer your question directly is focusing in on the few who have invested close to this amount on an analog rig, i am not in that crowd. But if i had 30 grand to throw at a new analog rig, i would look at the avid acutus, airtangent arm, zyx un... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice thanks,It appears pretty simple. I am assuming that tension is set by how far away you put your motor from the table. How does the thread work compared to the standard rubber belt? | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Thanks. If you would be willing to share some details around your motor isolation, i would appreciate it. Since i have a table that is working pretty good, I do want to take this time to modify the signature to capture some of the ideas that have ... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice CharlieHave not heard from you recently. How is your project going. I just purchase a used signature and have recieved part of it today. I will comment (similar to piedpiper) that the plinth on the signature is a much more professional piece of wo... |
