| VPI Record Cleaner Klhender, just be sure to use pure isopropyl alcohol (typically shown as 91% - the balance being water) and NOT "rubbing" alcohol. I've used a formula very similar to the one Chazzbo just gave you for 12+ years now with my VPI cleaner on hundreds ... | |
| Best DIY Sound Dampening Materials? Dds_hifi, instead of dampening the room, consider diffusers that will make your room physically smaller but acoustically much larger without losing energy to the dampening materials. Read Steve Deckart's fascinating article about his experience ad... | |

| Vpi 19mkIV or linn sondek 12 Jsbail, I've used a VPI MkIII for many years, and as Sdcampbell says, it "just sails along making great music." I've never had a bit of trouble with it, it stays solidly aligned and set-up, and it's also very easy to set-up initially. The VPI MkII... | |
| Redwiki - About racks, shelves... Thanks for the description, Dekay. Sorry to hear of the problems you are having. The Studio Tech rack is so inexpensively priced, I was thinking to do as you are doing - buy it and then purchase custom shelves from Neuance. In my case, though, som... | |

| Redwiki - About racks, shelves... Thanks, Jeffloistarca. A dealer I work with recommended the Atlantis rack to me after I mentioned to him an interest in the Arcici Suspense rack. His recommendation is that the Atlantic is effective for a lot lower investment. I'm curious as to wh... | |
| Redwiki - About racks, shelves... Redkiwi, this is an excellent post in response to a lot of variables with which you are not intimately familiar. I would like to follow-up with a question about the type/brands of welded steel racks you think would meet your criteria for your ligh... | |
| what to upgrade I'd start with seriously considering Trelja's comments, Ampzilla. Think about where you want to go with your system over time. However, I agree with South_park and Sdcampbell that a change in your speakers will give you the most immediate and noti... | |
| Favorite solo piano players...cds Ivan Moravec - an extremely intelligent and compelling musician, particularly rewarding as an interpreter of Chopin. Try any of his recordings for the Connoisseur Society label. | |
| How much do you listen? Listening time all depends on what may be going on, but I will typically listen 3-4 hours in the weekday evenings and 8-10 hours over the weekends, on average. Of course, this is not all "critical listening" time - it's "enjoy it" listening time, ... | |
