| Graham Phantom I tonearm How old are the batteries in your stylus gauge? You might try replacing them - - a couple of years ago I had a similar problem with my stylus gauge. Putting in new batteries solved it. YMMV | |
| Classic records reissue - very disappointing The link I posted should be:http://qualityrecordpressings.com/Sorry for the error. | |
| Classic records reissue - very disappointing Elizabeth wrote:"The machines are all old, No one is building a new Lp pressing plant! Not any new machines. The vinyl is probably harder to get as they would want it. And the folks who KNEW what it should be are gone too."Acoustic Sounds made thi... | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. Wendell has it 100% correct - if you think you want to get into vinyl, buy a good, used TT and then, if you decide vinyl really is for you, trade up. | |
| Rega Apheta MC Cart You are most welcome. Since you have a Rega arm, set up should be a breeze - I used the template that came with the cartridge and found installation easy. I like the cartridge so much that I bought a second one about a year and a half ago as a bac... | |
| Rega Apheta MC Cart I have an Apheta mated to a Rega P9/RB1000 and love it. The Apheta should mate well to your TT/arm. Load resistance is critical, however, and should not exceed 100 ohms (if memory serves). Not sure about the 834P and suggest you check your specs a... | |
| LP records: Time to... oi... buy another crate...? I've got around 8,000 LPs (give or take a few hundred) and, like Elizabeth, I am now retired, so I have time to mess around with the "collection," which consists of around 500 rock titles from the 50' and 60's with the balance a divided between cl... | |
| Rega P9 Power suuply died If you're in the U.S., give the distributor a call (The Sound Organisation in Dallas). The folks there are absolutely *top drawer* - - helped me with a P9 power supply problem a couple of years back. The number is: 972-234-0182 | |
| Best Record Cleaning Process on a Loricraft I also have a PRC-4, and I appreciate your not wanting to spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning records (why else have a Loricraft?). I have upwards of 8,000 LPs - - most of them used, but I also buy a number of reissues, including the APO B... | |
| End of side tonearm lift During the past couple years I've suffered three incidents (with three different records) of the lead out groove "leading" my cartridge onto the label. Fortunately I was in the listening room each time and managed to get the arm lifted before any ... | |
| Problems w/ Nitty Gritty RCM? I've used NG's Pure 2 since about 1986 - - for 20 years with a Nitty Gritty 2.5 and currently with a Loricraft PRC4. Never had any problems on either machine or with the fluid - - just great results. | |
| Record Cleaning I second Mingles's recommendation of the Audioquest Carbon Fiber brush. I have two (one for each system) - - they're inexpensive and get the job done. | |
| any good mat for a rega p9? I use Herbie's mat on my P9 - - sounds great - -less static build up (and no felt residue) than with the stock Rega mat. | |
| Stylus wear question... I am not sure if The Lift is still made, but if it is, it may be of interest to you:http://www.soundscapehifi.com/expressimo.htmRobert | |
| OT: Fine Writing Instruments I carry a fountain pen - and have for most of my life. Currently I primarily use an Omas Paragon, although I've have several other pens including: Pelikan Souveran 800; vintage Parker 61; Aurora; several old Esterbrooks; and an old MB Meisterstuek... |
