| Aquafina for record cleaning Well then, I got Aquafina confused. I don't buy water. Still, commercial RO water is around 17-20 micromhos and steam distilled a much better buy for record cleaning and car batteries. When I worked making ultrapure water the guys that didn't want... | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning Let's talk water. Fremer can come in and learn, too! Aquafina is reverse osmosis (RO) purified water to which minerals have been ADDED in order to improve taste! Now, tastewise, it is excellent. Whoever came up with the mix did a great job. RO wat... | |

| Analog upgrade path for less than $1200 Your best upgrade for the money is buying an ounce of the Technics DD oil. The spindle well must be filled all the way to the top AT ALL TIMES. The manufacturer's suggested oiling once every 2,000 hours is wrong. | |

However, since this is all about MUSIC, the essence and spirit of the performance can be brought out regardless. Any system must have ... | |

| How long for cartridge break-in? Your problem is the Rega's lack of proper speed stability and its large amout of stylus drag. As for break-in, I suggest a very powerful 45RPM dance single with heavy bass modulation. Turn the volume down and play it over and over a few times each... | |
| Shure M97 Vs. Grado red You should also consider the STANTON 681EEE MK 3 if you want smooth sound, especially on a Technics S tonearm. NAD amps are smooth sounding, so perhaps you have power line noise which is coming through the speakers. Your best bet is to start with ... | |
| Choices: Nagaoka MP-50, MP-300, or Garrott P77i? The proper term is "desconocedor" instead of "ignorante". | |
| First "real" TT... My take on this is well known here...save your pennies and get a brand-new, modded 1200 from KAB Electroacoustics and be done for a while. When fully modded it will be in the $5K performance.With psychic power and primal intensity, | |
