| Classic Records / Procol Harum 4yanx,I have purchased many 'Classic Records' records directly from the company or other internet vendors. My 'defect' rate is about 25%, I am very particular....But rightfully so at 30.00 - 40.00 dollars a pop! (Most recent CSNY cost $40.00 + shi... | |
| Speakers Corner QC? I have purchased a lot of vinyl over the internet the last five years. And yes, I have had to send some back due to defects. I have had some severe defects which make me wonder if any human being is even in the manufacturing process loop. Yes, you... | |
| Do I 'Hafta' clean a brand new audiophile LP? Yes, Please clean, and I mean wash, all your records both old and new. The manufacturing process leaves pressing die release compounds on and in the the vinyl grooves. You can not see it with your naked eye, but under a microscope you would be hor... | |
| I need a Pre-Amp What should I get? I third the Conrad Johnson PV10B...Make sure it has a phone stage built in for your vinyl collection.Regards, | |
| What have I done to my Gyro bearing? Oh boy, now you've done it! Stop trying to run the table! If you have some spare Michell oil get it. If not go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy some Original Hunter Ceiling Fan oil. A tube will only set you back a few bucks, and this is excellent oi... | |
| Analog a dying breed I do not beleive that Analog is a dying breed. Reason?...I was visiting my daughter at Michigan State University a few weeks ago. I stopped into one of many record stores near the campus. Lots of used/new analog vinyl for sale. Guess what these yo... | |
| What is the best tweak? First best tweak is washing all your vinyl with a good quality cleaning system. Many excellent systems exist. For the budget minded, the Disc Doctor system with manually operated vacuum machine is outstanding. You won't beleive your ears!Second is... | |
| Anyone have experience with ElectroHarmonix tubes? Hey Chuck...I just retubed the Premier 11 over the Thanksgiving weekend..SED 6550C, EH 6FQ7 and GE-JAN 5751..Wow what a difference. I can't wait to plug in the gold pin EH 6922 pre-amp tubes that 'Santa' got me into my C-J 17LS! | |
| Mastercard New tubes for my pre-amp and amp! | |
| How to pick which brand of 6550 tubes to purchase I just retubed my Conrad-Johnson Premier 11A amp with the new Svetlanta (now a three letter logo) 6550 C tubes. Wow, what a difference over the stock GE's. The tubestore has them in stock, got a 'perfect quad', which means the tubes are all matche... | |
| Owners of the JA Michell SE turntable..question. Mine worked for awhile...it was a blueish green light..now its burned out...I don't care...I know when the table is running...the platter spins.Regards, | |
| Newb - damaged cartridge? Please do not feel bad. We all have done the same thing at one time or another. When this happened to me with my Benz Micro Glider, the dealer (Needle Doctor) had a 'OPPS' clause in which I returned the damaged cart. for exchange. This cost me an ... | |
| Is heavy vinyl worth it? YES! YES! YES! BEYOND A DOUBT THE HEAVY VIRGIN VINYL RECORDINGS ARE EXCELLENT. THE 'CLASSIC RECORDS' 200 GRAM SERIES WILL SPOIL YOUR EARS!REGARDS, | |
| What was your latest LP find?? I have been hooked lately on "Classic Records" and their high quality 200 gram Quiex SV-P virgin vinyl recordings. The most recent two: Nora Jones (come away with me) and Roy Orbison (lonely and blue) have a tendancy to tear my eyes!Regards, | |
| Biamping towers with tube/SS combo--am I nuts? I have been bi-amping my Kef Reference Series 3-2 for several years. I use a Conrad-Johnson Premier 11 tube amp for the "highs" and a C-J MF2250 SS unit for the "Bass". I have been very pleased with this set up. Only draw back is dual interconnect... |
