| can anyone recommend a good rubber preservative? There's a product called Rubber Renue from MG Chemicals that comes highly recommended by UHF Magazine. Here's the page it's on :http://www.uhfmag.com/Analog.html | |
| Rec's for a dull sounding analog system Holmejr, I think I had only half a brain working when I first posted to this thread. You say dull-sounding analog, and you have a Linn. That should have rung the big Linn bell, the table setup bell.All LP12s need a suspension setup at least yearly... | |
| Rec's for a dull sounding analog system Holmejr, thanks for the clarification. (I could have Googled it myself instead of asking a silly question.)Yes, the corner bracing on the plinth of the later LP12s is better, but that doesn't mean you should not get a Cirkus and a Lingo for your p... | |
| Rec's for a dull sounding analog system Um, this may be a silly question, but if you don't have a phono stage how do you know your analog sounds dull?Anyway, I upgraded a seventies LP12 and it was worth it to me. You might find a used Valhalla, but better I think to go for the Cirkus/Li... | |
| Best sound at RMAF I don't think any disrespect was intended, Shadorne. At shows I have been to, few systems have performed close to their potential. The great system in a well-set-up room is the exception, unfortunately. In some places the venue is a difficult one,... | |
| Installation Instructions?? The best tool I have found for connecting and disconnecting cartridge clips is the one supplied with my Graham tone arm. You can get it from Lee Valley for $7.95.The pics will tell you all you need to know.http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c... | |
| APC Smart-UPS 1500 Pawlowski, I see this unit puts out a sine wave similar to the one in our AC plugs. This is the good news, for my 2 cents. Some of these UPSes do sawtooth at the output and that is truly not good for audio gear.The bad news is that the device is r... | |
| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? Davemitchell, good post. The Rat Shack cable test is a neat idea, I will try it when I can find a pal who wants to do it with me. I refuse to endure radical downgrades without company. | |
| Looking to start a new system Hi Nano, I think what happened to the TEACs is they got very overbuilt, multitalented and wonderful, and grew prices to match.Check out the drawings of the VRDS mechanism's latest evolutionary stages at[url]http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/esote... | |
| Looking to start a new system If I were going to stick with Linn and my options were those detailed in the OP, I would choose the Kolektor and the LK140. This is from having demoed the Wakonda, LK85 and LK140 with Keilidhs both active and passive, back when they were new... it... | |
| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? I have to agree with Douglas and Tvad that the quality of your system can make evaluating the effect of cables possible or impossible. My own system does a fairly good job but I have heard others do much better.I have little patience with the skep... | |
| Anyone use Audiogon "Wanted" Ads Success? They worked for me, here and at AA.Pawlowski6132, yes it's the off season until the weather forces us all indoors. | |
| Componets first, cables second? I can't say John is wrong in saying not to ignore cables. They do make an important difference, more than some people might expect, and the *right* cable will certainly make your system more delightful.However I don't think the OP ever meant to *i... | |
| Small Room. Go for it or forget about it? I have a small room for my second system--a much smaller room than yours--and it works very well. One reason for this is the disused closet which functions to help control bass.So I would say don't give up. Your component list looks very good. Hav... | |
| Componets first, cables second? You should buy a better CDP and sacrifice on the cabling if you need to, to get the player you want.I'm sure I won't be the only one to say this. IME cables are best regarded as tweaks; get your major components right first, then work on cabling t... |
