| Whats on your turntable tonight? Pink Floyd "The Wall" in a Doug Sax, early U.S., pressing. Instantly cured me of new acquisition syndrome about the 2016 Bernie Grundman mastered reissue. | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Whart: Isn't there a math formula for calculating bath size, number and frequency of US transducers and surface area to be "cleaned"? Whart, somewhere in this diyAudio thread on ultrasonic cleaning is a reference to the formula for tank size and... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback tgb, thanks for the interesting contribution to this discussion! Clearly, we both share the belief that clean records really do sound better. I was listening this evening to some records I know well but have not had the time to clean. After cleani... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Astro58go, good stuff! LOL, yes you’re certainly right about extended vacuuming. I concede your point. I never vacuum more than two revolutions on my VPI RCM. :-)And, I’ve become convince that the cleaning agents we use can make static better and ... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Hi Astro58go, I have not used the Audio Desk, but have read about it and talked with people who have. For me, the biggest issues are: it cleans only one record at a time; it air dries; it’s expensive. I presume you can elect to use some cleaning f... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Thank you, astro58go. The filtering process is very important to the results. Bbftx really came up with a nice solution that several people in addition to me have now adapted to use in our setups. | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 Jwm, thank you for sharing how you're doing this! Since you're recording to PCM, I understand your preference for the Benchmark. I'm strongly considering going with double DSD for my recordings, so the DA-3000 makes sense for that based on what I'... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 O_holter, I was reading with interest your posts on connecting a Tascam DA-3000 to your Aesthetix Io. I am considering exactly the same configuration to start digitizing some of my vinyl.As I recall, you have the Io with volume controls, correct? ... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Oilmanmojo, thanks for your excellent contributions here and in your comments to the Positive Feedback article. One thing I would add is that the Triton you use in your tank solution (another variant of Tergitol as you point out in your comment) i... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Whart, I agree with you about the huge value of being able to share experiences via the various internet forums we have available. When the conversation can stay courteous and constructive, as is almost always the case here on Audiogon, its a grea... | |
| VPI versus Ultrasonic cleaners Whart, nice post. Thank you. I've invested a fair amount of time exploring ultrasonic cleaning over the past several months because I've fallen way too far behind in my record cleaning. With over 6,000 LPs, I needed a faster way to clean than my t... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Signature Anyone still using Aesthetix gear? It is some of the very best tubed electronics. Happy Listening!Jfant, I'm still wedded to my Aesthetix Io Signature with volume controls for my front end. After fifteen years with this phono stage, I've not hea... | |
| VPI versus Ultrasonic cleaners Use quats in your cleaning solution and detergents with a neutral PH balance to eliminate static. I get no static from vacuum drying. Air drying leaves the residue from whatever was in the tank solution, including the contaminants that were on you... | |
| CleanerVinyl Ultrasonic record cleaning system. Dentdog replies: It just seems pretty expensive to load the tank with fresh solution and contaminate it with dirty record product, only to drain and repeat. I agree with you completely about the seeming waste of loading an entire tank up with chem... | |
| VPI versus Ultrasonic cleaners aj, my listening comparisons align with your conclusion that ultrasonic cleaning needs a rinse step followed by a vacuum drying. Folks who are not doing a final ultrapure water rinse and vacuum dry are missing that final step that makes a big diff... |
