| Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust. Update: Here's a little ditty I found interesting on this subject on Youtube: Is The Onzow Zerodust RUINING Your Stylus? - YouTube | |
| Best TT setup for 2k Great hi fidelity sound from vinyl depends upon clean records. In addition to the TT, pre-amp, etc. have you or are you giving any thought to getting and keeping your records clean? | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. Haven't read this whole thread but just though I'd chime in with this ditty. Back when I had a pretty good Denon cassette recording machine... you know, when dinosaurs roamed the land... I used to record cassettes to play in my car's cassette pla... | |
| speaker choice for new 20x30 audio room @carzmaguy88, CONGRATS! This may be too little, too late but I hope you considered the electrical supply to your new dedicated sound room (6, 8 or 10 AWG; hospital-grade outlets; 20 amp. breakers; dedicated line or two; proper building grounding; ... | |
| Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust. @rickd1225, God Bless You for your expertise on this! I have no idea what all the technical polymer chemistry stuff means but, like you, I've been using the Onzow Zerodust stylus cleaner for a while, now, with no unsavory effects I can discern. N... | |
| Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust. For what it's worth, even though I will absolutely hate going back to using a stylus brush, with or without cleaning fluid, distilled water, purified water, alien Elixer or whatever, I'm now doing some research on liquid stylus cleaners. I asked M... | |
| Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust. OK, boys & girls, here's the response I received yesterday from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab: "We still recommend the classic – LP#9 Stylus Cleaner with an appropriate stylus brush. While we definitely understand the anxiety that comes with havi... | |
| Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust. Here's some news or, rather, pseudo-news from someone who claims to be the New Zealand DS Audio Distributor, on behalf of someone named Aki who is... the creator of the DS Audio gel stylus cleaner? Not terribly clear! This was posted recently as a... | |
| Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust. I must confess I'm more than a little disappointed we haven't seen or heard much in the way of substantive follow-up, lately, on this question from Mr. Fremer, WAM Engineering, Wally Tools, Onzow, DS Audio or whomever. Seems all the audiophile god... | |
| Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust. Just thought I'd post this as a follow-up, for what it's worth. I got tired of waiting for people like Michael Fremer, WAM Engineering and J.R. Boisclair to do the obviously right thing under the circumstances (i.e. ask the manufacturers or makers... | |
| Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust. Yes! This is certainly disconcerting news for those of us vinyl heads who never liked free-handing stylus brushes. Every time I did that, I channeled a special ops sniper holding his breathe before squeezing off a round! The Onzow and some of the ... | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) @klimt, save some coin in your budget for a few basic vinyl accessories (i.e. record brush; stylus cleaner; anti-static poly sleeves; record cleaner; VTF gauge; etc.). Records require a little TLC if you want the sound quality to be all it can be.... | |
| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts Every audiophile who's been at it long enough has war stories to tell. Here's one of mine: In the late 70's or early 80's, I happened to wander into a local high-end audio shop. It was a gorgeous sunny day in the middle of the week. I had the da... | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided @mid-fi-crisis, I haven't read this entire thread but I really like your question! In response, I would say it makes sense to read and consider what virtually every contributor has to offer on forums like this. Keep in mind, however, that every op... |
