| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition I don’t think that being accurate is "trying way too hard." But YMMV. I guess things have changed a lot in 10 years - because 10 years ago it seems there were lots of misc US machines running at less than 40KHz. I’m not in a position to measur... | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition If I remember correctly, Neil suggested that I use a final rinse consisting of a distilled water spritz (my regime included a distilled water bath). Has he changed his mind? Or are my marbles disappearing? For context, mine was a special case, in... | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition @jeffreylee "What did I say that's misleading?" You said, "There’s no difference between the way US machines operate. Transducers create bubbles, the bubbles clean. That’s it." That is so silly that you contradicted it in the next sentence. Th... | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition Just in case anyone reads jeffrey's post of 07:14, it's misleading. Suggest you read Neil's bible. Reference above. | |
| Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms? @mijostyn Not half as good as, "Digitally perfect sound." Guess that's why all CD players sound alike. | |
| Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms? Tonearms make a difference. Even different tonearm wands on the same air bearing sound different, with the same cartridge, set up over days. Since my tonearm has repeatable measurements (error bars 20 seconds of arc, 50 microns linear) and setting... | |
| Sound insulation advice for home theater room in middle of the house? I've done two rooms in my own house. In the home theatre, I built a wall on each side of 2x4 frames and filled the interstices with playground sand. Same for the ceiling. It was highly successful. For the purpose built music room I used Quietrock... | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition How much power? How much power delivered to each record face? What frequency? How's the QC? Read the bible before you leap. IMO. | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition I second the ElmaSonic P60. I have a P60 rebranded by Fisher Scientific, and add-on rotisseries. I have cleaned more than 3000 records. My current regime is spin-clean with running pure water, 2 records on the spindle for 10 minutes of US cleaning... | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition @rsf507 I was not disputing your post. I know nothing about Kirmuss and so I make no comment on that product. But Antinn’s Bible gives all the technical information necessary to make an informed decision in any particular case. Personally, I am k... | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition There is a bible on the subject published by The Vinyl Press. It tells you all you need to know about record cleaning in general, and US cleaning in particular. I have invested thousands in US cleaning and it is one of the highest return elements... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album Glad to help a kindred spirit. Enjoy! | |
| Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955 I'm not an electrician, but this sounds like living dangerously to me. I think that it's illegal in my jurisdiction to have a three-hole receptacle which isn't grounded. In any case, I would never do it because that ground pin can save your life. ... | |
| Isolation transformer question I use Plitron isolation transformers for all sensitive electronics. These are industrial grade, not consumer-itis. I have done a factorial Plitron/ Wall x Aftermarket Power Cord two factor experiment, (in all combinations). Source power was high ... | |
| I listened to a pair of Audio Research Reference 330Ms @wolf_garcia "Buy ’em and it will make you feel taller!" Why this? Did someone tell you that his Camry was better than any Porsche or BMW, and it traumatized you? |
