| please help an audiophile's widow @bruce11 First and foremost, sorry for your loss! In response to your question, when you say, "Someone blew up my deceased husband's system", do you mean the tweeters were blown out? The information you provided is the model number for the tweet... | |
| System advice Room dimensions? Room acoustic properties? Any issues with speaker placement? Etc. | |
| Tracking down a hum. Have you placed any new electronic devices near your amp lately or moved any equipment around on your rack? Cable boxes and satellite receivers are notorious for EMI and feedback. | |
| New Speaker advice @mattsaunders2000 the speakers you are referencing are somewhat starkly different from one another. This indicates, to me, that you were heavily influenced by the artifacts of the different sound rooms you were in, and the different source compon... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @antinn thanks for your responses. Reading the P60H operation manual was helpful. However, not having actually operated it is quite another. I learn much better by doing. What I was responding to is that attempting to pause the machine every 3... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @antinn I’ve read the Elma Sonic P60H operation manual. Judging from its published dimensions, the CleanerVinyl components that I use with my 40kHz UCM will fit onto the P60H with one exception (i.e. the pump/filter). The P60H carrying handles are... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @antinn Can't argue with math! Thanks, once more! Now, time to take a good look at the P60H operation manual. All the best! | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @antinn in a two-tank protocol employing my present 40kHz US machine and the Elma Sonic P60H, would using a 6L 180W, 132kHz cleaning power, 200W heating power, instead of the P60H achieve better results? Thanks! | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @antinn: All I can say is WOW! And thank you, thank you, thank you, again and again! You never cease to amaze, both with your technical expertise and graciousness with your time. I wish there were something I could do to repay the kindness. | |
| 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... |
