| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Gentlemen, I can't thank you enough...I don't recall the last time I laughed this much...Zenblaster may have been a tad remiss...this is not self adulation but more like self flagellation...Cheers | |
| Review: Lyra Skala Cartridge JfrechThanks for an excellent review of the Skala. Your review was partly instrumental in my upgrade from a Helikon to a Skala. The Skala is a little over a month old and I suppose has some way to go before break in. It clearly is a superior cartr... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions PalasrMy experience with the protractors I downloaded from Vinyl engine is identical. The Baerwald and Lofgren were virtually un doable as I ran out of room to nudge the Cartridge(Lyra Helikon/Skala)foward. The best fit was with the Stevenson.Actu... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions I traded in the Freickert for a Shunyata power chord in Singapore at the Adelphi last week. Got a pretty good deal loosing only 30% over a month or so. This was possible coz the MintLP arrived, again via Singapore, last week.Aligning my Rega RB 10... | |
| Triplanar madness I tell u, madness Hi Bill,Many thanks. I have a spare armboard so my task should be a lot easier. What tonearm were you using prior to the Triplanar and are the improvements in multiples of ecstasy!!!? Am ploughing a Rega RB1000 with a Lyra Skala.Cheers | |
| Triplanar madness I tell u, madness Cousin,Is your Triplanar mounted on a Gyrodec? Am curious coz that's a path I intend to follow someday.Cheers | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Help...am totally confused.Initially aligned the cartridge with the Freickert protractor using the Baerwald alignment thats on one side of the protractor disc. Out of curiosity, yesterday tried the Lofgren alignment thats one the other side of the... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions I acquired a Freickert protractor a little while back. I wish I had listened to the really knowledgeable pundits on this thread.A Freickert is a good place to start, if you are a vinyl novice like me. A newly arrived Lyra Skala is sounding far sup... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Last night I used double distilled water, cost about Rs.200 a gallon or USD 5 or so. Along with a final rinse this has made a huge difference. Am beginning to enjoy vinyl I had acquired 25/30 years ago. Must confess that previous attempts to clean... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? I was a somewhat reluctant convert to steaming. Acquired a steamer from Argos,in London, UK, for Sterling 29 thats nearly $58, last month.The initial results were somewhat mixed but certainly less than expected. Records were cleaner but a lot of p... | |
| Rega RB 1000 - Outgunned by Origin Live? I have moved from a RB300 to a RB 1000 a few months back and would disagree that the RB 1000 is merely a trumped up version of its younger sibling. Have done an A/B comparison using initially a Sumiko Bluepoint 2 cart and later with a Lyra Helikon... | |
| Sanders ESL Speaker Cable I have been using Cardas Golden Reference speaker cables with a pair of Quad 2905s and the results are pretty awesome.Have experimented with Audioquest Mt Blanc,Audioquest Bedrock and a few others but the Cardas Golden Reference is miles superior ... | |
| SPEAKER Cables for QUAD 2805's with VTL 225's mono Blu_stratApologies for taking so long to respond.I had a pair of ML Odysseys with which I found a small but discernible improvement using an entry level Transparent pc as opposed to the stock pc. When the Quads arrived in Sept 2006 I continued wit... | |
| SPEAKER Cables for QUAD 2805's with VTL 225's mono I am using Cardas Golden Reference speaker cables with my Quad 2905s/Conrad Johnson LP70S power amp. Am really thrilled with the sonics.Also use Transparent power chords(the entry level)from the Quads into a Hydra 2 which feeds into a Hydra 6.It g... | |
