| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! Having used the PPT products in the past, I'm a believer in this type of technology. My question is for those who have experience with the PPT products and have tried this product -is there a difference? Ozzy, I think I remember you removing the... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? They are hand built to order. I didn't have such a long wait, though. No shame for waiting, just bad luck is all. In my estimate, still worth it. | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? I have had the VAC Master with phono pre for about 3 weeks now. Holy Moly!! To me it is worth every penny, and then some. The sound is almost palpable and with texture. I cannot use if for background music while I do something else anymore, bec... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? @ millercarbonWhere do you have your Schumann generators placed? Do they need to be 5 ft off the floor as suggested? | |
| Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat @ mooncrikitI suspect only two people have knowledge of the "intricate details" of the PPT mats, and one isn't with us anymore. I don't think that knowledge is necessary though, to understand that they do work. I have multiple mats of the second a... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning @ fleschler"Not 45, not 80, not 90 kHz. NEVER 120 kHz or higher. All are proven to damage records over time." I have never seen any data that can confirm this and I think it is likely hyperbole. None of the other ultrasonic manufacturers would b... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning @ antinnThanks for your concern. Perhaps there is little to be gained and a lot to be lost by not going from 5% to 3% isopropanol. I'll think I'll make that change. It's also cheaper. Thank you. | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning I have cleaned nearly 1,000 discs using the V-8 ultrasonic cleaner. Heat is not an issue if it is less than 45 degrees centigrade. I have never had a record warp with this ceiling. Heat is beneficial for cleaning and improves the activity of th... | |
| My journey to improved vinyl performance-a new cleaning protocol three_easy_payments As they say "better living through chemistry" Lol. For me, the improvement easily outweighs the hassle factor for selected lps. I think of this as a non-physical tweak to the system that in my hands really seems to work wel... | |
| My journey to improved vinyl performance-a new cleaning protocol millercarbon-the theory behind adding the etoh to the water is that it lowers the surface tension of the water, allowing it to get deeper into the grooves, which makes sense | |
| My journey to improved vinyl performance-a new cleaning protocol millercarbon-my formula is a bit more simplistic. The rinse is a small volume so I use a tuberculin syringe and a 5 cc syringe. 0.6 cc etoh into 20cc water. I think that adding the multiple surfactant scrubs along with the modified rinse is the ... | |
| My journey to improved vinyl performance-a new cleaning protocol Tablejockey-I think maybe I didn't make the point clear. It's not so much quieter records. The real benefit is the detail of the music itself is significantly improved. Sonics as well as spatially. And it's not subtle. You can buy an ultrasoni... | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night My profound condolences to Margaret and family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. We were all truly blessed here at Audiogon to have had the opportunity to interact with Al. Al was always the voice of reason and will be sorely missed. Our los... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity @mijostyn. Nottingham indicates the platter is composed of "carbon graphite" on their website.@antinn. I did not check voltage potentials. When speaking with the dealer after installation, he had indicated he had a similar problem that was erad... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity I have been reading this post with great interest, because I too was plagued by static. The issue became apparent when I upgraded my Nottingham Ace Space to the heavy platter configuration which is a heavier and thicker platter which sits on top o... |
