| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @antinn First and foremost, thanks very much again for your continued guidance! A few questions: As I think I may have mentioned earlier, most of my core collection of LP records are already relatively clean. Should I avoid using the Knosti &am... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @antinn Thanks ... I think ... for turning me on to that post by Wizzard. I suffered through nearly all of it. That man is in need of help! The Arizona Mike tip, however, was considerably more helpful! The video afforded a good real-life look ... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @antinn First and foremost, thanks so much for your kind attention to my record cleaning madness! Also, a correction of a typo I made: Rotation speed for my final ultrasonic rinse cycle(s) is/was 0.5 RPM; not 5 RPM. In answer to your questions/... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @antinn You are indispensable! My last foray of record cleaning involved the use of LAST POWER RECORD CLEANER (used as directed) as a pre-cleaning step. Then, I used a Knosti Disco Anti-Stat filled with Mobile Fidelity Super Record Wash as anoth... | |
| Vinyl Lovers @jacksky I don't have the scientific acumen lewn has brought to your dust dilemma. However, just instinctively, brushing records with felt does seem like it would cause static electricity and attract dust like nobody's business. Another reason w... | |
| Vinyl Lovers @ghdprentice True enough! Technology does improve and march onward, at least most of the time. Take a look at this: photos of Grundig stereo console - Bing images I can't honestly say this was MY first TT because my parents bought it in the 50... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II Yes, the Humminguru is a reasonably priced alternative. However, based upon what I've read, it is a 40Hz machine whereas the Degritter is 120Hz and better designed and built. | |
| Vinyl Lovers @ghdprentice Thanks! I'm certain the MoFi Ultradeck+M has a lot to do with the fidelity I'm getting from my vinyl now. It's only the second TT I've ever owned. My previous TT was a Phillips 212 Electronic. Yes! I'm that old! That Phillips wa... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @dogberry in the old days, when Christ was a Corporal, I incorporated Kodak Photo-Flo in my manual cleaning process of a bunch of my records. I don't think it did any harm. However, after reading Neil Antin's "Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl R... | |
| Vinyl Lovers Thank you, all, for your responses to this post! The information you have provided is very much appreciated! ghdprentice, in answer to your question, my core system is: MoFi Ultradeck+M (Mastertracker), McIntosh MA5200 and Revel Performa3 F206. | |
| Thinking of upgrading Definite improvement over Tommy's tin foil & carboard cylinders! Might even be a little better than Al Bell's graphophone. Emile Berliner would be proud! | |
| Thoughts About Turntable Upgrades I spent some serious seat-time with a Rega P3 outfitted with an Ortofon Blue 2M. played, first, through the phono stage of a McIntosh MA5200 and then, through the phono stage of a Luxman L-550XII, using Focal Aria 536 speakers and clean, well reco... | |
| How to prevent visitors from touching your system Unfortunately, this method would definitely negatively impact sound quality. However, a bank of 5-foot-high sandbags and an M60 machine gun would do the trick quite nicely. On a more practical level, just tell people what you would tell you kids:... | |
| Should I steer clear of class D amps @nosleeptilldownload I couldn't agree more with the statement that your hearing trumps all specs and arguments from critics (professional or otherwise). I also couldn't agree less with your statement that "vinyl is technically an inferior medium".... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** With those speakers, think voltage or robust & massive power supply; not watts. |
