| Wilson Vortex Cleaning arm for VPI clean machines Hi Macdadtexas, assuming you mean the *Walker* Vortex wand, there has been a fairly lengthy set of reports on it in another thread, with some mixed results. Several people report using it with good results (I'm one) and a couple report using it an... | |
| I got a stylus cleaning kit for, but--------- Mike, many of us here use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser as our preferred stylus cleaner. I no longer use anything else but a dry brush following use of teh Magic Eraser.See: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1182379090. | |
| 45RPM reissues: really better one-side pressing? Very interesting. The two copies of the Mary Stallings LP (one single sided and the other double sided) that Gerrym5 listened to would be the best comparison to make. Thanks for taking the time to listen and report what you hear!. | |
| Has anyone listened to the Fone 45rpm LPs? Ezio, you probably would enjoy Salvatore Accardo's recording of Paganini's "Il Carnevale di Venezia" on Fone 011 if you have the opportunity. It's lovely.. | |
| 45RPM reissues: really better one-side pressing? Ezio, without hearing the same mastering pressed both ways, there's no way to know. I'm not convinced that single-sided pressings are better. It's hard to imagine better sonics than coming from the Music Matters Blue Note 45rpm reissue series - an... | |
| Has anyone listened to the Fone 45rpm LPs? Hi Ezio,I've purchased several of the Fone 45rpm records and have generally been pleased with them. I've been particularly pleased with:008 Haydn Cello Concertos013J Piazzolla "Adios Nonino"016 Rossini OverturesSr. Ricci is getting better in his r... | |

| Violion concertos/Symphonies....part 2 Hi Tim, we do enjoy the 20th century British composers here. And so much seems to fit in to what I think Phasecorrect is asking for. | |
| Promotional copy - any different in sound quality? Sometimes, but not always, the promo copies come from earlier in the pressing run with an earlier stamper and earlier in the sequence off a given stamper. But there is no guarantee and no consistency about this. I won't pay a premium for a promo c... | |
| My LP couldn't beat my CD, until now Congratulations, Forddonald. And welcome. Glad to hear it finally came alive for you as it does for so many of us.. | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI You guys are amazing. "Suspect"? You have to be kidding me. "On sale"? Get real, every retailer has sale prices on all their stock right now. Markd51, you certainly are being blunt, but you have no experience to support your concluding assertion, ... | |

| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI Hi Madfloyd, as I've tried to describe from my experience with this wand elsewhere in this thread, just as with the VPI stock wand, one doesn't adjust the height of the tower for various record thicknesses. What has worked here is to adjust the co... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI Hi Albert, yes, Lloyd had spent a lot of time on this project and it was time to make the next level of investment in production or pull the plug. In my experience, his wand on a VPI not only made for "quick work" it yielded superior sonics as the... |
