I spoke with him today. He said one to two weeks again. We shall see. 
Snap, crackle, pop
hand scrub your records with a disk doctor brush and Audio Intelligence No 15 pre-wash enzymatic. Wipe it dry with a micro fibre towel and use the spin clean with distilled water for a rinse. Dry your record with a clean micro towel and let it dry... 
Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3
IMO, it is safe to assume that remastered from the original masters really means, a digital remaster of a 24 bit copy of the original analog tapes. I see no evidence that they are using the analog master for this reissue and cutting a lacquer from... 
VTF for Koetsu Urushi Red
I run my Koetsu stone bodies at 1.94 grams. If you are having bass issue, check your VTA."The General effects of improperly set VTA/SRA will be in the frequency extremes. If the setting is too high (where the arm slopes down toward the cartridge),... 
Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund?
Congrats. He does fine work. 
Improving bass from a front ported speaker
Move the speakers closer to the wall behind them. That should help. Plugging the port is not a good idea, IMO. 
Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua loading
The loading setting starting point range I mentioned was for active gain. With passive transformer gain, the values would be much lower most likely...30-100 ohms, depending on the transformer. 
Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua loading
Loading is system dependent ...too many differing factors from system to system to come up with a standard. I use to ask this question when I was new to high-end vinyl playback. I bet somewhere in the 100-400 ohm range would be optimal, but your e... 
Turnable database with TimeLine
Syntax said...Another example, the new Airforce One Turntable from TechDas has 1x contact per revolution with the own motor controller. This seems to be enough to hold the platter speed no matter what is going on. I never checked it but I read fro... 
Mono amps and different length speaker cables
Not a good idea as different length cable will have different impedance (resistance) 
Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet
you mean the KL Audio ? The KL has no spinning terry cloth drums that make contact with the record like the Audio Deske. The audio deske uses 40 watt ultrasonic motors, the KL Audio 200 watt. The Audio Deske requires their cleaning solution to be ... 
Audio Desk Record Cleaner
sounds great...DIY.. drip drying records not my idea of a complete solution. 
Anti static guns
11-14-13: RauliruegasDear Rockitman: You are right but remember that the item is only a " help " and static is always there/around, to reduce it is a " help " and better that " nothing ". Don't you think?Regards and enjoy the music,R.If you clean ... 
Anti static guns
I have not found zerostat to be effective in removing static. Maybe it reduces it, but it sure doesn't get rid of it completely. That has been my experience. 
Anti static guns
After using an ultrasonic cleaner on my records, static is no longer an issue, hence no brushes or guns used in my system anymore. I use a photgraphers puffer ball to blow off any offending dust. When there is no static, the dust blows right off t...
