| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium I have Revel Performa3 F208 speakers (recently replaced my B&W 803N), JVC VL8 Turntable, Project PhonoBox RS phono preamp. I also have a Cambridge 650C CD player, but rarely use it. And, my room is acoustically treated, which helps a lot. I... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium I don't know what audioman is saying either. I think he's saying it can always be better. Maybe, maybe not. But, I had a PL Dialogue One for four years, then moved up the link to the Dialogue Premium HP Integrated. It's great with the standard... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! The effects of magnetic particulates in old carts makes one wonder if there is a...We haven't established that there are any magnetic particulates. In fact, my conclusion is that it's unlikely. I've learned that cartridges get dusty, just like e... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! Who is this unnamed source? And what problem is this source trying to help you resolve? The original question is about metallic content in vinyl. What super strong magnet, and what vacuum motor are you talking about? Even if the record has met... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! @lewm I think you are spot-on! Great analogy. I love analogies, and this is a great one! | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! I see that it's a dirty cartridge, and agree with your comments that it's dirty, and that dirt could cause a problem. But, otherwise what are you saying? Are you suggesting that this is metallic material that was "scraped off and attracted magne... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! I don't believe that "hunks" of vinyl are randomly ground off the record and then stick to my cantilever. If that were the case, over time, the cantilever would become larger and the records would be smooth and make no sound. I think the crap yo... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! @ivan_nosnibor I think that's the concept of the carbon black. But, I still don't believe it makes any appreciable difference. I've also heard that colored vinyl has its own limitations. In the end, I think my BS meter was on target. If it sou... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! For the record (pun intended) I have had success with Gruv Glide helping to reduce static and reduce those pops and clicks. | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! I think the guy was referring to the carbon black as mentioned by @whart . I am not convinced it would have any effect on the cartridge, nor on the guy's ability to sell subscriptions, so I'm not sure why he brought it up. He was trying to push ... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! @chakster Right... but this is a very rare thing, and you’d have to seek it out. He was talking about your typical run of the mill vinyl. @jmcgrogan2 I know what you mean! But, because it’s vinyl, that’s desirable distortion. :^) | |
| Need help choosing speakers I see your other threads asking similar questions. What did you choose six months ago, and why are you shopping again? What about the ones you chose isn't working for you? | |
| Tekton Preview / Audition in Minneapolis That's the one! Thanks! | |
| Tekton Preview / Audition in Minneapolis It went well! Four guys and my GF were there. We hung out for a few hours, listened to some great music, and talked about the Tektons, and a myriad of other stuff. And, @rja brought some awesome Kentucky bourbon! As for the Tektons, we listed to v... | |
