| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's No substitute for a good cleaning fluid, mechanical action to get the cleaning fluid between the dirt and vinyl, and a removal system to remove the fluid/dirt. Lots of commercial and home remedies but all have these three basic keys. Save yourself... | |
| Name a couple of HOLY GRAIL LPs Buckingham and Nicks is a very good LP that is well recorded and excellent sound stage. Dark Side of the Moon from Floyd, Dr John Night Tripper, Dan Fogelberg/Tim Weisberg--Twin Sons of different mothers, and the list could go on and on. Great thread | |
| Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of... Crack the Sky or Pousette Dart's County Line. | |
| Good sounding, small center speaker I my opinion, a full range speaker for the center channel is a must. Too much information(sound) comes from the center channel to go small. I think the best sound comes from all three front speakers being identical. I have tried several versions o... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Crem1I know what you mean about taking a break from the tweaks. I still have a ways to go to catch up to you and piedpiper but sometimes you just got to play the music for a while. However, the sound from this table is great. People who come over ... | |
| Cartridge recommendations for Rega RB 1000 i am not familar with the RB1000 but I love the ZYX airy3 and used it on a RB300 and Gyro SE. I used a Van Den Hul frog before that and the airy3 was a significant improvement in my opinion. Not that the frog was a bad cartridge, but the airy is a... | |
| It was a good day at the thrift shop Steve Miller---Fly like an eagle perfect shape 99 cents | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Same type of pump only a larger version. The smaller pumps may not be able to put up the pressure. This one puts up about 5 psig. By the way, it is a Rena 400, i mis typed earlier. | |
| considering a Maplenoll The air pump issue is the main one with the maplenoll ariadne series. I do not have the full signature model but the table itself is built like a tank. Once set up properly, i have found I need to do very little with the table except play my recor... | |
| considering a Maplenoll I have owned a Maplenoll for about 1 yr. Sonics are very good but they are difficult to set up and you must be willing to tinker to get the best setup and sound possible. Lots of extra parts with a compressor, air lines, filters, etc. For me, I do... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice yes, as a matter of fact did. It did cool the compressor. I was content with that until I moved and ended up with a spare air pump that I was using in a Koi pond at my last location. Decide to try it on the platter and found my cycle time on the b... | |
| Want to Start vinyl I recommend you start with one of the modest belt drive tables that are advertise alot on Agon complete with arm and cartridge. The Michell gyro with arm and cartridge will cost between 1&2 grand. Many others in this price range. As for collec... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice It was the Renn model 400. About fifty bucks, it is a small quiet oil-less air pump that is designed to run continously. | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice IMO, the arm performance at 45 and 50 psig is improved. I used a diaphram, oiless fish aquarium pump for platter. puts up about 5 psig and can run continously for weeks so its pretty reliable (and cheap). | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Crem1I took a little different approach even though it was one more piece of equipment. I hooked up a separate pump to the platter and left my large/high pressure for just my tonearm. Both systems have filters and pulsation bottles as you have des... |
