| Record Cleaning Machines Wow! Talk about complicated and time consuming. Not to mention keeping track of which records were cleaned when.With all the micron talk, nobody is talking about sound quality.Since my records are shiny and in visibly excellent condition and have ... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines If you handle records properly and remove the dust with a carbon fiber brush properly before each play, the need for a RCM seems to be greatly reduced. I guess if you buy a lot of used records that are very dirty, it could come in handy. How does ... | |
| What is wrong with my system? Get a turntable and a few records and I am sure it will sound better. | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS I thought carbon fiber speakers are nirvana.... don't want to fork over the cash though. | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning Gotcha @wig That must be very uncommon as I have never heard of that being an issue for power conditioners. | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning @wig - thanks for confirming my decision to upgrade to the Puritan 136. Just curious - what components have over filtering capabilities? | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning I recently got the Puritan 136 and was curious as to why there seemed to be a larger price discrepancy than the difference in currency values calculate to. I sent an email to Puritan, which was answered quickly by the owner of the company who expl... | |
| OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke? Some peoples systems are so very highly resolving that those systems may reveal minor improvements like this or fuses, etc. whereas others may have weak links in their systems making any small improvement negligible. Also, everyones hearing and li... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Ideally what you want is a floating effect isolating the component. In addition, if you can also get some vibration transfer out of the boxes (everything except turntables) that is ideal. Floating doesn't work for me with my thin floor standing sp... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @prof- I was talking about for the Josephs. As i have mentioned, I have used products from both companies, depending on the need and prices, I am comfortable with both companies. | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Hey @prof - that's why I had the platforms built about 2" longer and wider than the thin base of my KEF's. Aside from all the other reasons I mentioned, I was too nervous they's tilt over and I wasn't comfortable putting spikes/disks on top of a T... | |
| Is your now then? First real stereo was back in 1980 with all Yamaha - receiver, turntable, speakers and tape deck. Cartridge was micro acoustics. That was the entry level of the local stereo store that had higher end stuff that I thought I would never be able to a... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! I put a Symposium Segue Stealth Platform under my KEF R500s because the height of the platforms exactly matched the height of the KEF supplied spikes/discs. I did not want to alter the height of the drivers at all, which would definitely change th... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @vinylshadow - I would talk to Peter at Symposium. He takes the time to understand the exact application and make a recommendation. He is very honest and actually told me his solution couldn’t help my turntable because it was so light unless I put... | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? I can't believe you guys are arguing if speakers are better than headphones. They are DIFFERENT and do different things.I don't know anyone who prefers headphones unless they either have no decent stereo or can't play music out loud because it ann... |
