| Stylus cleaner Hi Larry- I don't doubt that(mysterious goo) a bit, and have seen it myself! There have been a number of, "groove lubrication" products, over the years, that could be over-applied, dredged out of the groove by the stylus and flipped up onto the ca... | |
| Stylus cleaner Unless a cantilever were made of a layered material, with gaps running up it's length, or it were porous(highly unlikely); no liquid could venture up it's length, via capillary action/wicking. If the cantilever were hollow, as some are, one would ... | |
| is buying used Mcintosh equipment online bad idea? Doesn't matter how one comes across vintage equipment; it should be expected that the electrolytic capacitors will need to be replaced. Even new/unused electrolytics, sitting on a shelf for any length of time, dry out and degrade. Some info: (http... | |
| Granite surface plate I've been using 2" granite, layered with 3/4" Corian, separated by 1/8" felt, under my amps for a couple years. My VPI turntable is sitting on top of a cabinet I built(30 years ago), on 2" of granite, atop 1 1/2" of HDF, with Texas Instruments EMI... | |
| Diminishing Interest in POP. I hate earworms Mysincerestapologies(snickers)! I always had the attack, after eating a Big Mac. | |

| Good 6922 tube for my CJ ET-3 SE pre-amp? Whatever tubes you choose to purchase, be certain they are screened/graded for low noise. That's important for use in a preamp. ie: (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/grading-and-matching-small-signal-tubes/) | |
| Diminishing Interest in POP. I hate earworms Must be a terrible thing, not to be able to control one's mind any better than that. I'm able to erase virtually anything from mind, via one simple meditation: Twoallbeefpattieslettucecheesepicklesonionsonasesameseedbun. | |
| phase control on BAT VK pre amps Mr L: Both my CDP(a BAT) & phono stage have phase switches. You are correct; in that if one has no other means, reversing the leads to one's speakers would be the option. BTW: When that LED is lit; it means your phase is inverted. Obviously; M... | |
| phase control on BAT VK pre amps Same reason I have some vinyls marked as to optimum tone arm height/VTA: I only have to reverse the phase of a recording once, to determine whether it's worth reversing or not. I may not remember the best phase, if I don't play that recording agai... | |
| phase control on BAT VK pre amps "Keep in mind that the Chesky CD is made for demos. Most likely, they selected tracks that emphasize whatever quality they want you to hear." GEE, Ya think? Chesky recorded those tracks, and reversed the phase, to demonstrate the Wood Effect, and ... | |
| phase control on BAT VK pre amps The Chesky disc has two demos, in which phase is reversed. The first with one trumpet(actually two tracks, one reversed). The next with a full jazz band, which they reverse the phase on, without telling you at what point. My son and I both noted t... | |
| What makes Telefunken tubes sound better? BTW: Don't give me any static about the stereotyped tubes, in that video! =8^) | |
| What makes Telefunken tubes sound better? "Unfortunately there are also a lot a fakes in the market." To date; no one has counterfeited the diamond, molded into the bottom glass of the authentic(nine pin miniature) Teles. Easy to spot a phony, or tubes that may have been rebranded. In the... |
