| Great sounding new vinyl Thanks for the info. Do you have any other pressings to compare it with? | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 I may purchase this tweak. In addition to the concern of the o-rings predisposing to warping when used with a steamer, I also wonder if the mat under the suspended disc would collect a lot of moisture from steam. I understand the wand can be used ... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Crem'I'm using the VPI 16.5 with my Perfection steamer(no lead poisoning yet that I can tell) Have you heard of the new Walker Vortex wand for the 16.5? It's available at Elusive Disc and comes with two rubber O-rings around the center spindle to ... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI I am interested in this as an option. I'm guessing that using steam, as some of us are these days, on the suspended disc is more likely to lead to warping. (Just a guess but it seems to make sense) Would this work just as well on the standard cork... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI Never saw this one coming but it looks interesting. Do you guys already using this utilize these o-rings then? As already mentioned, I'm trying to imagine scrubbing a suspended, flexible disc effectively. | |
| Great sounding new vinyl Like I said, I'm interested to hear if this release cuts the mustard(audiofeil, you can quote that too if you want). I knew it would be out soon and was interested to see what the early buzz on it is. | |
| How Much Surface Noise is Too Much? I'll put up with more noise if the record is a hard one to find or if the underlying sound is especially good but Tvad is right, everyone's tolerance differs. Digital sensitized many to this more I think. The longer you play vinyl, the less a litt... | |
| Great sounding new vinyl I am interested to hear if anyone likes the soon to be available Famous Blue Raincoat on Cisco 45 RPM vinyl. This is a great recording but the Cisco would have to be something special compared to my Cypress pressings to justify the $80 price. Appa... | |
| Anti-skate Stringreen,I've been playing my 10.5i/Benz LP combo with no antiskate for the past month or two and it's working great. I haven't completely removed the apparatus yet, it's just disengaged. Didn't you say once that you noticed further improvement ... | |
| Advantages of upgrade from VPI 16.5 RCM Most of the machines you mention work in essentially the same way as the 16.5 but have either additional power, features, or both. I doubt any of these would be a significant enough improvement to be worth the extra money. The Loricraft, Keith Mon... | |
| Great sounding new vinyl Good newer ones I have personal experience with:Classic Records:CSN(1st), Norah Jones:Come Away With Me, David Crosby:If Only I Could Remember My Name, Led Zeppelin:1 and 4, Miles Davis:Kind of BlueSpeakers Corner:Supertramp:Crime of the Century, ... | |
| Wow I just got the KAB strobe When using the KAB disc on top of a record is contamination of the record a concern? Do you do this with a record you don't care much about? | |
| Furutech / Air Tight LP Flattener - do they work? I have the ring clamp and heavy platter and I like them both. I disagree that the ring clamp is really cumbersome to use. It works very well on dished LPs. Of course, it can do very little for "rippling" warps. The disc flattener would be better f... | |
| Best sounding Krell ? Wireless200, I tend to think you're right. I've obviously built a system around my amp that sounds good to me. This may not be the prescribed way to assemble a system but it's the way mine has evolved. I am afraid if I spend big bucks on one of th... | |
| All Things Must Pass Have an original domestic and German copies. Hard to say which is better. George was under rated in the shadow of John and Paul. How many bands produce three bonified musical geniuses? It may never happen again. |
