| Ultrasonic record cleaners "So, in the world of mijostyn any method that uses the same fluid over and over again is rubbish which tells you what I think about most ultrasonic cleaners." Um, isn’t that’s what rinsing is for? ’Laboratory grade’ is the kind of stuff sold by ... | |
| Experienced only: What have you done with room correction? I gave up and built a dedicated room to the specs of the U of Salford's School of Acoustics. I put record shelves and book shelves behind the speakers on the long wall and added 2 woofers. Magic! | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners I'm careful what I download too. Vinyl Press has caused no (0) problems for me. @antinn How do you clean Tigercloth without compromising it's properties? Thanks! | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners @charliee Evidently I was less clear than I hoped. I was describing a test procedure. My cleaning procedure is: 1. wet and remove surface crud with running purified water 2. for very dirty records only, 10 minutes at 37 KHZ with detergent; othe... | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners @antinn Wow! Just plain, WOW. Haven't seen your book since the draft stage, and I'm just blown away. Highly professional look, feel, and of course, encyclopaedic content. Congrats to you and to Bill. @whart Wow! | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners @whart Nice to see you posting on this ! You and Neil have done a real service to the community. That's where I learned to finish with a distilled spritz, and to do an anti-static wipe with Tigercloth. Thanks! And all the best! | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners @lewm That's my experience too. | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners Should have added that not all US machines are created equal. The Elmasonic is a lab grade machine which can be expected to meet spec. Lab stuff has to meet spec or there's hell to pay - consumer stuff, not so much. | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners @lewm I have done that test. I cleaned most of my collection with a VPI 16.5. Then I bought a German Elmasonic 80KHz US cleaner and built an RCM around it. Then I cleaned my entire collection on the US setup. Using the few uncleaned, but carefu... | |
| LaScala dac with telefunken tubes @designsfx I used to - but now I'm too old. Andy's tube services was good, but the very best came and went on Ebay about 25 years ago. | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? 'Best' components? At Parts Connexion, right now, there is a Vishay VAR series 120K 0.6W resistor marked down to $58. One resistor. | |
| LaScala dac with telefunken tubes Not all TF tubes sound the same. I have a TF E88CC early 1960's, which sounds positively shrill - but I also have 5 E88CC TF tubes selected for HP, also early 60's, and they are far the best 6922 tubes I have ever heard. Although, for all I know... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @newtoncr Thank you ! Mike has already said this, but the extra detail is welcome. | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? Panzerholz is a material like any other. It has it's uses in places which require good rigidity and high damping, like tonearm wands for low compliance cartridges and turntable motor boards. No magic, just engineering. | |
| Phone preamp question Glad it's worked for you. |
