| Recorded Cleaning Machnies Update: The iSonic CS6.1-Pro Motorized Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaner I bought from Amazon was sent back. I checked the iSonic website (https://isonicinc.com/) and I discovered they have a more powerful model, the iSonic CS6.2-Pro Motorized Ult... | |
| Recorded Cleaning Machnies Looks like I can't type! | |
| Recorded Cleaning Machnies Yes, it has a heater, one of the settings controls the water temperature. Since I got it on Amazon with Prime, it is easier to return it and buy another one. I think I will buy it directly from iSonics. The box that arrived was seriously trashe... | |
| Recorded Cleaning Machnies I did purchase the ISonics machine from Amazon. It seems to clean okay, but the heater doesn't work. After 30 minutes, the water was still room temp. Most likely it was damaged in shipment, as the box was totally and completely trashed when it ... | |
| Recorded Cleaning Machnies Thanks, that was most useful! | |
| Recommendations for speakers cable cover. There are some carbon fiber sleeves that work reasonably well for your speaker cables. The carbon really eats up that rf energy. Do a search for them online, several places have them for sale in various sizes. At one time I found some 16awg coa... | |
| ISP and Sound Quality Good idea. I will switch video over this evening and see how it compares. The only thing on either network was the music I was streaming. Desktop was sleeping and the laptop was off. | |
| Tonearms - SME 3012, Jelco, or Schick? BTW, I only have a few mono records. These are from Mom's estate, so mostly big band, 1930's to 1950's jazz. Some are in very good shape, some are not. I thought about a mono cartridge but for the few albums I have, it doesn't make much sense t... | |
| Tonearms - SME 3012, Jelco, or Schick? Thanks for all the information! Very helpful indeed. I will look at all the recommendations. Cartirdges - It will be a moving coil, most likely a Umami Blue or ML, possibly a Dyanvector DV-20X2L or a DRT-XV-1s. No SPU's although having one int... | |
| Adapter question Try this, it appears to be of good quality and it doesn't fake it by using a coax to tie them together: https://www.amazon.com/Devinal-Adapter-Converter-Gold-Plated-Connector/dp/B0BN5NHTRQ/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=1V3QWFEYY5I1M&keywords=femal... | |
| Splitting analog signal within speaker crossover's - how harmful? You are correct, bi-amping is the way to go. I have been bi-amping my Big Stereo for decades now, I would not have it any other way. I also agree with tri-amping, although that approach is less common as it is expensive and the improvement is no... | |
| Alpa 300b Mono's information I didn't find anything either after a fairly exhaustive search. You might be on your own here, I hope you have a schematic! You may need it! | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm Well, that is a data point indeed! | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm Yes, two years. Frankly, in all that time, my philosophy has not changed. If it doesn't make any engineering sense to me, then I don't spend the effort to buy it and listen to it. The high end audio world is filled with snake oil and other junk... | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... Frankly, if I don't trust their marketing, then I don't trust the company. BTW, you can test cables and correlate to sound quality. What one cannot do is one test that tells you every thing. For example, a cable has an input and an output. ... |
