| Anyone NOT like the sound of VPI? Madfloyd, What speaker were you thinking of changing to? If you don't mind the suggestion, your system seems to be almost tailor made for a pair of Vandersteens. The Quatros and 5As both incorporate powered base modules with room correction EQ. I ... | |
| Flattening a warped LP Grimace, Did you preheat the marble in the oven first or just stick the room temp sandwich in a preheated oven which had been turned off. I think my mistake may have been pre-heating my stones first. Anyway, sounds like marble works better than pi... | |
| Mint Tractor I still have not received my Mint tractor so can't add my alignment experience but let me say this about Yip's service. He obviously follows these threads because I hadn't even contacted him yet and I had an e-mail expressing his concern. He check... | |
| Anyone NOT like the sound of VPI? Is it just me or does Sirpeedy always seem to nail things right on the head? | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Ericjcabrera, For the price of your hair drier, or less, you could get a Perfection steamer from Walgreen's. I'm sure your method works too but the steam should be purer reguardless of what water source you use and steam will penetrate the groves ... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 We owe more to Crem1 than a lot of people realize. It was a shame to see the old thread turn into a personal attack on him. A new thread may be a good idea. I continue to use my Perfection steamer without fear of the lead issue. I would like to he... | |
| Anyone NOT like the sound of VPI? I really agree with Stringreen that personal taste has everything to do with it. Probably is somewhat system dependent too. I have a VPI and have never been more satisfied with what I'm hearing though I don't deny there's many other great tables o... | |
| Those simpler times..... I agree that "simpler" times have a special appeal to me and not to rain on any parades but the times of which we speak may have seemed simpler to us because of where we were in our lives. The "adults" of the 60s and 70s had plenty of big problems... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? I don't want to downplay peoples concerns over lead but I think this is another fear possibly being blown out of proportion. Did you know that the same warning is posted on the little Christmas lights most of us hang on our trees.(also made in Chi... | |
| Mint Tractor Stringreen, I'm glad to hear you're happy with your results. Downunder beat me to the punch with what he said about different verses wrong. The Mint and VPI methods may not agree but it doesn't mean the VPI is "wrong". As I understand it, no matte... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? All valid arguments Rsrex. Just stating the logic behind my particular regimen. More than one way to skin a cat. | |
| Mint Tractor I orderred mine before you did and it's still not here. I guess I'll follow your lead once again. Good luck. | |
| Clearaudio Smart Matrix RCM? The bi-directinal platter I feel is unecessary. Most people spread cleaner manually anyway which is probably more effective. The 16.5 may not be pretty and it is noisey but it does everything you need it to at the most reasonable price. I have one... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Rsrex, I think it can be debated whether plain distilled water is good enough for the steamer. It probably is. As far as the rince goes though, I think it's best to stay as pure as is feasible. I accidently splashed some of my reagent grade water ... | |
| Is it worth expanding into Vinyl??? Ninetwofour,You may be new to vinyl but you get it. You really get it. |
