| Cartridge cleaning I use a Zerodust on my Orotofon Jubilee - works great. Ocassionally, I use an old (circa 1985) Signet SK305 electronic stylus cleaner, with a very, very small bit of Last stylus cleaner. That also works great.Here's a tip (assuming your records ar... | |

| Ohm Walsh speakers; Anyone have any experience I bought a pair of Ohm Walsh 2's about 20 years ago and used them for 15 years. Great speakers for the money - then. But I haven't kept up with Ohm's latest offerings. | |
| Todays Raido Stations suck I tend to agree with the original post of Rockinroni. Which is why I got my car wired for Sirius satellite radio - - had it for about three months and *love it*! Best thing since sliced bread! Sixty (60) music channels - commercial free - and, in ... | |
| VPI vs Nitty Gritty Both companies make a good product. I've used a Nitty Gritty 2.5 since 1987 - - works great/quite reliable. If I were in the market for a new record cleaning machine, however, I'd go with VPI - -slightly better design (see Lucishow@yahoo.com post)... | |

| Record Cleaner Side Effects? I've used a Nitty Gritty 2.5 since 1986, together with the cleaning fluid supplied by NG. I've had fabulous results. My routine is to clean each record once with the Nitty Gritty (sometimes, in the case of a really gunked up LP, twice). Then, both... | |

| Digital Stylus Force Gauge: Which One?? Sc53 - you can order all Wally Tools directly from Wally M. himself. When I ordered my WallyScale from him (last September) there was no wait, and I got it in a couple of days. Nothing against MusicDirect (I've bought stuff from them several times... |
