| 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... | |
| Etta James - Mono vs. Stereo Based on other artists during that period I have in my collection, the mono always seems to have a more organic, convincing sound than stereo presses. Purely subjective otherwise, unless it's that awful hard left/right "stereo" I always go fo... | |

| Negotiate good price " Perhaps I am not as skill as some of you gentlemen in this area. Perhaps I am just too much man for some of these hobbies."What the heck does that mean?"I told this audio guy that there is plenty of great gear in Audiogon but I like his system ... | |
| Negotiate good price "I sit back with my hands above my head in an inviting posture and say- can you beat prices that I see on Audiogon?" Sigh......the door is right behind you | |
| Morning coffee with Beatles and a hole "regular clean press" do you mean mono US LP's from the 60's? No, just the stereo press. I have a couple of the RI mono's. They are nice. I just never felt the urge to get the entire catalog. | |
| Tube matching question "the actual lion holding the KT88 sign faces forward, the Gold Lion script lettering faces the rear"I tried the GL KT77. There is only a label on 1 side. They are near 10 years old, so maybe the labeling in now like the KT88.Enjoy the PL regardles... |
