| New Records noisy It is a problem, Thomas. In my experience, new reissue vinyl from Analog Productions, Speakers Corner, Cisco, and a few other continues to be consistently "super silent". OTOH, Classic Records has had quality control problems consistently since mo... | |

| Help cleaning LPs, residue left behind Davelash, while I'm not familiar with using the Nitty Gritty fluid, what you describe sounds to me like a classic case of needing more rinse with distilled water after using the cleaning fluid. From your description, it seems like you've diagnosed... | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 or David Berning ZH270? R_f_sayles, I agree with you about the class A/B switch which I didn't have added for the same reason: would never use it, didn't see any point in adding the complexity (on which Ralph agrees, I believe). I suspect for a Silver Edition the big dif... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ralph, I'm very fond of the Solti Ring Cycle recordings. I have them all on London pressings, and just a couple repeated on Decca. Marvelous performances and recordings, it's simply amazing what John Culshaw accomplished with the aid of that remar... | |
