| How effective is the Onzow Zerodust? I am a convert to the Magic Eraser (the cleaning product) stylus cleaning method; there is an Audiogon thread by Dougdeacon describing the method and how it works. It works wonders on my carts. One needs to make sure not to be too zealous with it.... | |
| Is there such a thing as tube sound in a ss? The Atma-sphere website has some interesting white papers on different amperage paradigms. From everything I have learned from a variety of places and experiences, I would suggest that certain things are easier with tubes than SS and vice versa, d... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond price I have just had a brief perusal of the BlueBook. Some things are indeed better marked. My amps and speakers, in both systems, seem to be in the ballpark of where things trade or would trade, even though I rarely see them trade (other than one set ... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond price Wireless200,I have found the bluebook to be off by multiples of what it says. There is an algorithm for 'older' equipment which means things are way off unless there are lots of sales through Agon's system. For old things with few sales (if any) t... | |
| Review: Jade Audio Pure Solid Gold Interconnect Wow. Those look good, but those are amazingly expensive RCAs... It looks like $1200+ for enough connectors for one set of ICs... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,The 101c was introduced the same year as the 100c Mk2; it had a titanium cantilever where the 100c had a boron cantilever. It also had a substantially higher VTF (2g vs the 1.25g of the 100c). Both were integrated headshell cartridges. I'll t... | |
| Divorcing..Splitting the cd collection.. I am sorry to hear that you and your wife are going to divorce.Given that the "reasonable usage" rules that the people assume makes copying for one's own use acceptable do not generally extend to making copies for one's friends, or to making copie... | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges As I have used the FR-7f, I have come to appreciate it a fair bit more than the FR-7. Better treble and far better transient response in my set-up. In fact, it is one of the better carts I have ever tried for listening to jazz.Furthermore, the oth... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,What are your thoughts on the Technics 100C and 101C? Has anyone else tried one? I haven't read the bulk of this thread for a while, and I just did a brief search on Audiogon and find no reference to either. I seem to remember a reference ear... | |

| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Lewm,How entertaining... a turntable with a deadman switch...:^) | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Mark,I have not mistaken you for someone else. I am aware of your issues with belt creep. In fact, because I was trying to dance the long way around a subject which I think may be of commercial importance to you, I ended up mis-communicating. Plea... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Mark,This aspect of inertia of the motor is something I did not really understand the last time it came up (because I assume you are not referring to motor inertia the way the Micro SZ-1 motor does it). If you were talking about that, then I can s... | |
| Bass Clarinet Recordings I too love the bass clarinet. I thought this was the second thread in Audiogon history talking about the bass clarinet but it appears there are in fact three others, not one other. Talk about a happening subject!I love the contrabassoon, the contr... | |
| I built my own Turntable and here are the results I'll bite and ask a couple of specific questions:It looks like the brass cylinders are affixed to the bottom of the platter and they would therefore be the fulfilment of a "metal-loaded acrylic platter". Does it work that way? What kind of bearing... |
