| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Yeah, sometimes it feels like that - but not always, not even most of the time. We'll miss you. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @fleschler I would be cautious about any US machine which is not intended for a laboratory. The reason is, that lab machines must meet spec. Spec for power, spec for frequency, stability, features, etc.It's not worth my time or trouble to deal wit... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning I use running water, twice filtered down to 1 micron, mounted on a special order high speed Vinyl Stack. Then thrice filtered running water, filtered down to 0.5 microns. Then a bath in distilled water. It takes 50 or 75 records to show any hint o... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @bdp24 On the DIY thread there is a link to Kirmuss at Axpona by Fremer. Most instructive on several counts. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @bydlo Just some friendly suggestions to help out, I'm not playing any games here.Your rotation is too fast (try a fifth of that speed), your rinsing is only one stage (try 4), and your temperature is only 33C (try 40-45C).Also, make sure that the... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @bdp24 The DIYAUDIO thread, "My Version of an Ultrasonic Record Cleaner." | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @bydlo No trouble. Read again much that I had forgotten!The graph, IIRC, showed that 40KHz was marginally better with large particles, but that 80 KHZ was much better with small particles. Hence 80KHz. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @bydlo Just spent an hour trying to find it, but could not. If you want to, look for the ultrasonic record cleaning thread, and start where I left off, at page 80.Sorry to fail. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning I too have bought many records which appear NM, but play poorly. Just to note, most records look NM after a US cleaning (scratches excepted, obviously). Nevertheless, a well used record plays that way, no matter how it looks.My experiments, 80KHz ... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @dgarretson I prefer the 80KHz setting because of the graph of cleaning efficiency vs frequency on DIYAUDIO, although I cannot say that I’ve found a reliably detectable difference. Just a theoretical one!The big thing is that the wavelength is muc... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @fleschler You say, "I think your method of US is using 10 C degree too hot water and 100% too high a cavitation frequency. Maybe that’s why you can’t hear the difference on 3-6 posting; however you state you did see and hear the difference using ... | |
| AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT? Set-up. An expertly set up $30K system will trounce a megabuck system set up by an airhead. That said, the best parts cost money. By that I mean parts that are better in ways known to physics, not hyper-relativistic black hole refractory spirals (... | |
| New way for audiophiles to die! Who wants a diamond stylus scraped across him? Or getting scratched? Ouch! | |
| Speaker Cable Upgrade... Advice Please Have you considered an isolation transformer? Plitron makes a good one, and they sell to the general public.Thing with isolation transformers is that they hum when they are working hard, and other times too, so it's essential to position them outs... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Hard wired tone controls. |
