| Review: Audio Desk Systems Vinyl Cleaner Tweak Heindmuse: I tried your suggestion, I had no luck. At first I thought it helped, oh so slightly, but realized it didn't.I subsequently tried turning over the wipers in the exact same place, in the opposite channel and so on. I came to the conclusi... | |
| Review: Audio Desk Systems Vinyl Cleaner Tweak I decided to initiate a mid (500 lp fluid change as recommended by the manufacturer), regarding their cleaning/maintenance suggestions on my AD. I used a fine paint filter and drained my current fluid into a clean container. I then used new distil... | |
| Legendary Johnny Winter Dies at 70 I recently purchased "Second Winter" on Speakers Corner in honor of Johnny. In comparison to my well worn but still great sounding 1A copy, the original is more open, wider soundstage, more bloom/air. Sonically speaking, they are both very similar... | |
