| RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide I suspect we have the same. Our area has high sodium. As you say, coffee tastes right. I know the sodium, mercury, organisms, etc. cannot get through the membrane, so it probably is the same as distilled water where water is brought to a boil and ... | |
| RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide Styx, Do you mean a reverse osmosis machine? I too have one and am uncertain whether steam distilled or it would be more pure water. I did try distilled water and it as rinses but heard no difference. | |
| In this corner Groove Glide... There was a time when I put Last on most of my records. There was a time when Lloyd Walker convinced me to use Gruv Glide. I used it on only about 10 records always after a thorough cleaning. After a one time listening, I hated the Gruv Glide ther... | |
| RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide Sean, until I got the Loricraft with the string that is the only contact with the record groove, I experienced what you mention namely the contamination of the cleaner brushes. I use DD and I do follow-up with distilled water as I can hear the ben... | |
| RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide Shasta, you say that, "using a distilled water rinse *after using RRL is a distinct no-no" but say DD, which I use wins hands down. Do you mean I should not be rinsing after cleaning with DD? | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables If biggest and badest is what you want, try the Stage III Vacuum Reference cables. They were recently, very positively reviewed on SoundStage. I agree with the review that their detail is very realistic. | |
| RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide Take the Grooveglide and throw in the thrash. It will probably take multiple cleanings to get it off your records, but you will be rewarded by the best LP sound you have heard.I use DiskDoctor cleaner with my Loricraft but find I still need to use... | |
| Aurios and Tungsten balls Listener57, yes use them upside down. It make no difference in the performance of the Aurios. If you want tungsten carbide balls, which I strongly recommend, I know of nowhere cheaper than McMasters/Carr, at least if you can get them at wholesale ... | |
| Aurios and Tungsten balls You will have one of the best isolation devices when you get the balls centered. Their is a very small depression in the center of the screw that holds the Aurios together. I use 7/16 tungsten carbide balls and find that if you are careful they wi... | |
| Isolation for power line conditioner? Or your ears are better than the measurement equipment. | |
| Isolation for power line conditioner? I did not imply that I was unconcerned about power cords, "flapping in the breeze." Every cord and interconnect in my system has a Rightway Audio Suspender at its center. This helps both for the vibrations but also for the bleeding to ground. The ... | |
| Isolation for power line conditioner? Not withstanding Jim Weil's efforts, the Line Stage in my system is improved substantially by being on a level 2 Mana stand.I should also note that many of the better ac power cord efforts focus on resonances, the Harmonix comes to mind. | |
| Isolation for power line conditioner? Mana or Walker stands | |
| Tube preamp, Leave On Always or ON/OFF? Long ago I had a Marantz 7 in which I had not replaced the tubes for over 5 years. When I did, I was shocked at the improvement. Tubes are deteriorating all the time. | |
| Got any of your dream system yet? I have learned that I could never predict what I keep for a long time. It largely depends on where new breakthrough equipment comes from. My Mana stands and my Omega Mikro pcs have been around longest. |
