| Walker prelude vs. Audio Intelligent Gpgr4blu and all, there is no residue left on the vinyl after using the Walker Audio Step 4 Rinse and no risk to your vinyl from the minor amount of alcohol. Disclaimer: I'm certainly not a chemist, just a dedicated vinyl lover who's used a lot o... | |
| Album Storage By genre, then alphabetically. I go by last name of the composer for classical and by last name of the artist for other genre. For groups, I go by the name of the group (e.g., for "Jethro Tull" use "J"). For LPs with works by multiple composers or... | |
| Walker prelude vs. Audio Intelligent Markd51, like you, I also do a double rinse with Ultra Pure water -- doing so made a difference and I continue doing so even with the addition of the Prelude Step 4 Rinse to my process. As you surmise, the Step 4 rinse does have less surface tensi... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI Jamesbrianc, here's what I'm doing or have done: Use a microfiber cloth to carefully clean all the accessible surfaces of the tube to make sure nothing is stuck to it from packaging and handling. Seat the tube all the way into the tower if necessa... | |
| Walker prelude vs. Audio Intelligent FWIW, my experience with Walker Audio Prelude and the Step 4 Final Rinse matches Jtimothya's experience. But regardless of my choice of Prelude, I'm convinced that you can't go wrong trying one of the top cleaning regimens recommended here and the... | |
| Questions about Zerostat use When using the Zerostat on a record, I've had fine success doing it both with the record on the platter and in my hand. Try it both ways and see what's most effective for you. Holding the record in your hand certainly removes the risk of accidenta... | |
| Walker prelude vs. Audio Intelligent Sorry, I haven't done a head to head comparison of the current AIVS to the Walker Audio Prelude that I use. As Stiltskin and Doug say, both products work well. Walker Audio offers a full satisfaction guarantee, return the unused portion and they ... | |
| Questions about Zerostat use There was a thread recently that recommended pointing the Zerostat away for the release. I've been trying that technique and it's been working well for me. I only do a single side at a time, and only if I notice a static issue. Squeeze slowly and ... | |
| What to do with old inner sleevs after cleaning? Jaybo, I didn't see your post before I hit the key on mine. Sounds like we are of somewhat similar mind on this topic.Cheers, | |
| What to do with old inner sleevs after cleaning? Careful: Contrarian replying here. I re-use most of my poly-lined sleeves that are in good condition, I replace all paper only sleeves or sleeves in bad condition or sleeves that are only the really soft plastic (from the 50s). I keep my EMI, Decc... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA2 Mk2.3 / Krell KSA 250 / Passlabs? Che13, your best source of advice will be to call Ralph and talk to him about this match. Now that RMAF is over, you should be able to catch him via email or phone. His contact information is on the A-S web site. | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI Sonofjim, the o-rings are not a necessary component to this. If you're steam cleaning, like the results you're getting and concerned about not having the LP fully supported when applying steam, just don't use the o-rings. The Vortex vacuum wand wi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Mahler, Symphony No. 5, Barbirolli/New Philharmonia Orchestra, EMI SLS 785 - a marvelous performance and recording!. | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI Yes, I'm using the o-rings and gentle scrubbing is not a problem. But, I never apply a lot of pressure to my scrubbing. I let the cleaning solution do its work and the "scrubbing" is to make sure everything is getting stirred around well with some... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI Mark, why do you think Lloyd did not? The locating slot is machined on mine. FYI, some older towers do not have a locator pin. I have my original tower with no locator pin and a more recent tower with locator pin. But even with the locator pin, th... |
