New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
I am little way to experiencing TC after four weeks. A new medician is causing my essential tremor in my right hand to increase. I have treated my SR Blue fuses and my HFC Pro speaker wires but both are far from four weeks old.I hope to use a piec... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
I got a sample about two weeks ago so I really have yet to hear the four week jump, much less the eight  week jump. Plus I've only treated the SR Blue fuses and the ground on the Tripoint Troy  Signature SE. Why have I not done more? I have a trem... 
Record Cleaning Machine – Recommendation Please!

Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used

Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used
Were you to have a great turntable and the Ikeda 407 tonearm, I would strong recommend  the Ikeda 9TT cartridge. It is second in their lineup but is outstanding with something like the BMC MCCI phono stage. 
Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning
I agree that ultrasonic helps, but there is a limit to how strong it should be. I had one that broke off some vinyl pieces.I am now using the Audio Desk Pro that uses better parts than the first version. It works perfectly and shows no vibration d... 
Turntable sounds so much better when...
nandric,Many truths are actually tests of hypotheses where the scientist seeks to prove that no relationship is wrong, not that one is right. This is especially true in the social sciences. Often one convincing finding can break the paradigm.In au... 
20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017
Parts are parts and they are greatly better now than 20 years ago, but I don't think well known makers have adopted newer circuit designs; they are all lights and copper. But grounding, controlling vibrations,ac purity and rooms are more important...
