| Record Cleaning Machines Neil, I just want to say THANK YOU, again; not only for your guidance specifically related to my queries but, more importantly, to the education your are so graciously providing to all of us interested in this subject. I'd be lying if I said I und... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines Neil, what do you think of this idea: (a) replace the Mofi Super Record Wash in the ultrasonic tank with a solution of distilled water and 1% Alconox Liquinox or (b) add 0.05% Alconox Liquinox to the Super Record Wash or (c) do the same using Terg... | |
| What do "audiophiles" use to judge equipment? WOW! And I thought starting a discussion about cables was the quickest way to start a fight in an empty bar!Clearly, modesty, humility and respect are not principles some audiophiles live by! Surly animus serves only to reinforce the OP's preconc... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines All I can say to the skeptics of the efficacy of cleaning records, including brand spanking new records and those that have been fastidiously cared for since purchase, is that cleaning them does, indeed, benefit audio performance. Of course, like ... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines Neil, thought you might find this interesting. I certainly did!According to a representative of MoFi, Super Record Wash is, indeed, a "high-surface-tension water composition". The response I got to my question about this was that "the high surfac... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines Neil, thanks again!Firstly, I think you are correct about the MoFi Super Record Wash. It certainly doesn't behave like a high surface tension solution; quite the opposite. Rather, it looks and behaves like a solution containing a surfactant. I use... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines It finally dawned on me why the handle "antinn" sounded familiar! When I re-read this thread, terry9's contribution suddenly helped turn the lights on! Thanks, terry9!Antinn, first, my sincere thanks for your March 2021 second edition paper incorp... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines You guys are great! Thanks so much for this additional information! May the music gods bless you all!Actually, I have read and still have a copy of the Aqueous Cleaning 2nd edition thing. I guess I need to read that again more closely.So, guys... ... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines Antinn2, thanks for the info! Very much appreciated!I did know that stuff about the Kirmuss machine and some of what you mentioned about the Degritter. When I use my system, I don't use any heat because the cavitation process actually causes or pr... | |
| Pairing advice Dagery, that is one hellaciously fine amp! I had the pleasure of doing somewhere around 3 hours of serious seat-time with one several months ago, paired with Martin Logan Motion 60xti and GoldenEar Triton 2+.Why stand-mounters? Small sound room? D... | |
| advice re old shelf speakers OP, not sure how helpful this will be, if at all. However, for what it's worth, back in the day (i.e. late 60's/early 70's), Cerwin Vega and JBL were two major brands that folks who enjoy the type of music you do would often gravitate to and buy. ... | |
| Vandersteen 1C to 3A Signature Phaco, I auditioned a goodly number of speakers recently for an upgrade and spent a little seat-time with the 1Ci because I fondly remembered similar seat-time, many years earlier, with either the model 2 or 3. Can't recall which because that was ... | |
| How many dealers do you use? @switzer145:Not in the area you specified but if you don't mind a drive up north, you might want to Google: "high-end audio shops CT" and have a look at what pops up. Seems like there are a number of them further north. NYC, I'm sure, must have so... | |
| How many dealers do you use? The more time I spend on forums like this, the more it amazes me how many audiophiles, apparently, make major moves or changes to their sound systems so frequently. Even if I had deep enough pockets to do that, I'm not at all sure I'd be inclined ... | |
| Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! @stuartk :"Perhaps Classical and Jazz live music venues-- places where music lovers typically congregate?"That's an excellent idea! I would add all music genres to that! Perhaps some advertising & marketing before & after a performance mig... |
