| What's with white stains on new vinyl? This was discussed in the Phonogram listserve recently. Apparently, RTI experienced an INTERMITTANT problem with a chemical reaction coming from some of the record sleeves that leaves white marks on the LANDS, not in the GROOVES. After finally fig... | |

| Questions about Zerostat use Goofytwoshoes, if you've been aiming your Zerostat at your catridges all this time and have not had a problem, I'm delighted for you. I've always made a point of not doing this because I've been concerned about the possible impact of such a concen... | |
| Any opinions on the Lyra stylus cleaning fluid? Varyat, go to the link in my first post above. It contains the full explanation.. | |
| Album Storage Hi Kirkus, I'll bet your organization scheme does nicely promote browsing through the collection. My alphabetical approach certainly does not lend itself to browsing through similar musical material. I've thought from time to time about reorganizi... | |
| Album Storage Dgad, my solution for classical LPs with multiple composers is to file one of three ways: 1) under the composer whose work on the LP has the greatest significance for me, or 2) file under the composer already taking up the most space on the shelve... | |
| Help / advice needed on monoblocks ? Noli, I've never been able to hear any difference with power cords of slightly different length. But I would encourage you to try to keep your interconnects the same length. Same with your speaker cables. These are signal carrying and with some sy... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI Madfloyd, try moving the stop ring higher up on the tower to allow the tube to pull all the way down onto the record. Another new user I've been emailing with was having a similar problem to your first post (not the screeching, which I don't have ... | |
| Any opinions on the Lyra stylus cleaning fluid? No opinion on the Lyra fluid itself. I would expect they know what they're doing. At the same time, with the great results one can get using the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser that Doug Deacon and Paul introduced us all to, why bother? Just use the Magic ... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI JB, I just measured the slot opening in my Walker Vortex tube: it's 81mm. Very close to what you measured on yours.. | |
| Great sounding new vinyl No, I haven't heard the Vanska recordings. I'll have to see if someone in our local audio group has any of them. Thanks for the recommendation. I don't think the Rajski performances replace any of my long time favorites, but they are refreshing, c... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI JB, I'll measure the slot in my tube and will post the results. I may not be able to get this done today, however.. | |
| Great sounding new vinyl Here's some great new and available vinyl that I've been listening to over the past two weeks:"Percussion Direct" from Groove Note (AGRN 1041) is very good. "Little Johnny C" - Johnny Coles - Music Matters Blue Note reissueThe ongoing Beethoven sy... | |
| Walker prelude vs. Audio Intelligent Sonofjim, you can buy the enzyme mix separately. Elusive Disc sells it, for example. But, I don't think the replacement kit comes with a mixing bottle or measuring scoops so you may have to sort that out independently. As to a head to head compar... | |
| Walker prelude vs. Audio Intelligent Madfloyd, yes. It is worthwhile using the full Prelude regimen on new high quality vinyl. I demonstrated this with some members of our local audio group during a gathering at my house last weekend. Everyone heard the improvement in clarity and res... |
