| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! "Where there is moisture, there is a good environment for mold to grow. This is an understood fact of nature."This appears to be a long term ownership issue....No way to get a wire brush in there? Wonder if the manufacturer had any thoughts on thi... | |
| FM tuner fans, somebody get this! I love the Fisher!Before I got the Mac, I looked high and low for well cared for unit. The choice was a grenaded mess or just step above that and working. Also looked for a Sherwood. Naturally no regrets for the Mac, but I dig the looks of both F... | |
| Stylus stuck in groove I gonna have to parrot whats being said....Time for a US machine. I have a couple of LP's that refuse to let go of whatever is in the groove, regardless of scrubbing. With the recent uptick in US cleaning in threads, it's got my "buy now" finger t... | |
| Dynakit PAS-M & Stereo 120 NG vs Schiit Freya Plus, EVO400 and others PL user(Dialogue HP)You could possibly tame the highs with different tubes in the 2 innermost preamp slots. Being subjective it's a YMMV thing. Could be dramatic or subtle, depending on the ears.I prefer the old 6l6G sound in mine. A sound somewhe... | |
| FM tuner fans, somebody get this! I would love to get the Modafferi MR71 upgrade, but it’s $1K+! It’s the Marantz 10B killer. Equivalent to a turbo/blower for the big block Chevy.Last night, the local PBS Classical played "Halloween-scary"themed pieces, and the sound track for the... | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. 7DJ8 is another safe swap for the 6DJ8. There are NOS that can be found for sane(under $50) if you do a little hunting.Brent Jesse's inventory is spotty at the moment, but scroll to bottom-USA sectionhttp://www.audiotubes.com/6dj8.htm | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! "A big problem with machines like the Audio Desk ( I own one) and the KL is the inability to be able to actually clean the inside water tank."slaw-that's interesting. Doesn't most of the crud come out, if the tank is drained? | |

| FM tuner fans, somebody get this! I was weaned on 70's Rock radio. We all now that's long gone.Since my tastes have matured, there's still great public radio Classical/Jazz. Radio is the original "streaming" FM is still great, it's just quite limited. Especially outside of Classic... | |
| Flat screen between speakers, again. My TV/DVD(no cable, just over the air) is on a roll away. Wanna watch? Roll it out of the closet, 2 minute hookup to the system for movie night. Otherwise, 1 minute to just get in the space between the speakers to just watch the tube.TV in the l... | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. As long as it has your ears attention, it doesn't matter.New Tele's are only a name. Like so many popular brands from the past, it's just a licensed name. Probably from the same Russian factory many other tubes are made. | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! "I’m sure the Kirmuss does a fine job, but do you really give it high marks for”ease of use"?"lewm- agreed. I like the price of the Kirmuss, but pass. The entire protocol based on the video is way too much involvement for me. As mentioned earlier... | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! laltik-If you're only playing new LP's, then US may not be such a big deal, like it is to me for bin specials. The Kirmuss has been getting an overall thumbs up here and other forums for the price.I want the Cadillac for Yugo pricing. Convenience ... | |
| Can an “audiophile” ever be satisfied with a system? "Wish I could bring myself to pay $199+ for Better-records White Hot Stampers. Good recordings are the “final frontier”."With $100K spent on your rig, why wouldn't you spend a little more for a good press? I wouldn't be playing new reissues on tha... | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! "I did explore the spin-clean kit but after watching the video, I wasn’t too thrilled to see all the work involved."If you're playing used LP's, US is the way to go. New album, a Spin Clean could work for just a little refresh. I use one, going on... |
