Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System
Jtasmarinda, you really had a bad experience. I did receive one of the first units (so Series I) at High End 2010 in Munich. It is true we had to change the chip once and also use a different fluid mixture. Since then I have washed over 400 record...

Dear Lewm - maybe got it wrong! thanks for your explanations. Agree that slate is a wonderful material. I heard the Beat at RMAF too and I do share your assessment - this was one of the highlights, really good sounding

Oh Lewm - you diagree I assume. I will ask Dertonarm if he can send you a Vector, maybe one for Raul too. It helps a lot...I did not find out yet how many are necessary :-)I aquired a very nice Technics MK II and I am considering building a plinth...

Dertonarm, I have to admit in this respect you are completely right. We have different tastes and also different capabilites in perceiving the world as well as the audio sound. This is why we ended up in different religions and different churches ...

Pryso, you are inviting the plinth makers, except of Raul. What do you expect being delivered. Nevertheless good move! 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Halcro,starting a thread means supporting and taking care in a way Raul did and does with this thread in its very best way. I am not able to do so. Of course we should not open a MC thread on Raul`s platform. It is not fair and also not the p...

Dear Blackburn, good hint. I checked my travel goods and found a sombrero from last visit in Mexico. Will take it with me.Dear Bjesien, Freud would have answered: twelve tonearms are not enough, or relating to your position maybe: You are entangle...

Halcro, I agree with you - something must have been happened with Raul, tequilas? some other shocks, maybe a life event? or are we interpreting too deeply? Or are we just living behind the horizon and do not understand what is approching us. When ...

Dear Raul,I will wait for you at the airport from Monday on.Is it true that you are selling your analogue gears investing in computer hardware?? :-)When I was attending RMAF last October I was wondering why we could see and listen to lots of analo...

Dear Raul, may I invite you to Munich. If you listen to a real Master Tape (very well recorded) played back by a Studer C37 and you do not change your opinion on TAPES you can select any item from my collection and take it home. Is this a word? al... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Thanks Dgob. Some people say I am crazy. I like to be crazy regarding music and musical systems. Music is one of my best friends (:-). Lewm, I am sometimes ironical as you are too. I also told it Raul who started this impressive thread there will ...

Turntable chassis, motor drive (idler, direct, belt), bearing, platter, armboard, tonearm, headshell and cartridge make an analogue playback system - they are a unity and do influence each other. Looking on separated or single parts or combination... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear all - is anyone offended if I start a thread titled "Who needs MC when we have MM?" :-) :-) 
What I learned on Audiogon This Year
Mickeyf and Inna - of course a fantastic copy of a master tape which was recorded well (!!!) is unbeatable. I like listening to well recorded master tape copies pretty much - and yes you get some software but good tapes are limited. We have to be ...
