| Can Vandy's get along with cats? Quite true, some cats don't mind citrus at all. If you really want to disgust a cat, peel a banana in front of them. They give you this horrified look like, "I can't believe you'd eat something so repulsive".Sounds like a marketing idea waiting to... | |
| Different Results between Record Cleaning Machines In the future, you may want to consider using O-ring lubricant which is silicone based. Vaseline, or any type of petroleum derived product will eventually break down natural rubber seals, gaskets and the like. | |
| Vibraplane: Should it be loaded close to limit? Peter,Thanks for your detailed experimentation and findings. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Downunder,Yup, that will irk you. Alas, that's a fine example of a poorly designed drive system; there's a reason the SDS was developed and that goes back to the AC mains. Trying to accurately derive 33.3 RPM using a crude phase shifting capacitor... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Don,You are simply wrong. Stylus drag will slow down any turntable, regardless of platter weight; it merely changes the period over which it occurs due to inertia. And yes, the 60Hz mains supply does fluctuate enough to be completely problematic. ... | |
| On a mission for more BASS I completely concur with Cathode. This sounds like a room acoustics issue. Dimensions would be very helpful, as well as where you and your speakers are positioned within the space. Subtle positional shifts (less than an inch) can make profound dif... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2011 I have always enjoyed Tool and A Perfect Circle - I think Aenima is my personal favorite; I have the original LP and it sounds tremendous for a modern rock recording.Latest items of interest:Megafaun - S/T Siskiyou - Keep Away The DeadI keep comin... | |
| Vibraplane: Should it be loaded close to limit? The one on ebay looks ancient! I think $100 is optimistic for a shipping price, as you'd need to use a freight carrier. Thanks Dertonarm, good to know. Cheers!-Richard | |
| Vibraplane: Should it be loaded close to limit? Dan, Indeed the Vibraplane uses a type of air spring which I think contributes significantly to its excellent horizontal isolation; they are not mere bladders, or else I'd just do the inner tube trick and be done. The compressor has a regulator an... | |
| Vibraplane: Should it be loaded close to limit? Dan,The surface has no holes; it's an option. I did think of putting my sandbox directly on the VP, but it was too heavy (around 190 lbs (!)) - we each stood on a separate bathroom scale, and aggregated the results, minus our respective weights. A... | |
| Vibraplane: Should it be loaded close to limit? Thanks for digging this up Pete, much obliged.It certainly is an interesting unit. Since my table weighs around 120 lbs, I've also simply placed it on top of the Vibraplane. The active system makes leveling a whole lot easier than the passive vers... | |
| Vibraplane: Should it be loaded close to limit? I too recently picked up this unit (active version with compressor - 2212-01), and would also like to know the answer to this question. The instruction manual states 275 lbs as the maximum load. | |
| seeking 55 inch LED TV matte Screen, 2011 model If you go with the LG, be certain to obtain an extended warranty. We have installed several dozen LGs (of all types) in an academic setting, and the reliability has been mediocre at best. To my eyes, the Aquos is the way to go. | |
| $2500 Phono Stage Suggestions David and Jeff,Glad you guys are (finally (!)) enjoying the fruits of that very important upgrade. It really elevates the K&K to a new level. Of course, anyone buying a new unit will already have this installed. Cheers,-Richard | |
| remastered EMI pink floyd Yup. Especially considering the fact that "They" re-issue the same stuff over and over and over and over again. How many more re-issued re-releases of "Kind of Blue" or "Folk Singer" or "Getz/Gilberto" or any Hendrix, Patricia Barber, Who, Stones,... |
