| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl CDs sound great; until you hear a good vinyl set-up. On paper, vinyl should have died out with the b&w picture tube television set. Spec sheets are tailored to the product that is being marketed. CDs have better dynamic range, better S/N, zero... | |
| Denon DP-59L skips at end of record If the auto lift or cueing bar is confirmed not hitting the tonearm, then check the anti-skating force and/or Vertical Tracking Force. Too much anti-skating force can make the tonearm want to jump back away from the center of the record. Is that w... | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... Hi CTsooner: It's supposed to be satire- or at least my attempt at satire. Maybe I'm not so good at satire. I am an engineer after all. | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... "...unless you're a brain-washed herd-following snob....:-)"Dear Halcro: Ouch! That hits me a little too close to home. Here I wanted to ask if it is ok to use some furniture polish on the wood body of my Benz LOMC or would a $100/oz exotic wood o... | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... Dear 18764: do you know what is better than owning a vinyl rig? Having a friend who owns a vinyl rig. That's right, find a friend with a nice turntable and go listen at his house. Take your own records over and clean them on his cleaning machine. ... | |
| Not impressed Dj, I feel your pain. I am an average middle income consumer with a love for music as well as the hifi sound. I guess I could say that I have been in the hobby since the 70s but really got into the "high end hifi" in the late 80s. Back in the day,... | |
| Sheffield Lab Yeah, ok, I'll admit that I have picked up one or two "hifi" records over the years. I hear about it though from my wife if I try to play them. Of course, one record has a 3150Hz test tone. That record drives her up the wall. | |
| Sheffield Lab Omsed: Ouch! Such generalizations are dangerous. Might as well just say that people who post on the internet are lonely computer geeks with no friends. It's just not true. I have friends. Well, I had a friend once... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Yes, I know. I was just sharing an antidotal story about my discovery of the impact of subtle things on the quality of the sound. | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed If the impedance of Cu wire is slightly different in the direction of the draw vs. the other direction, then I would think that this difference is measurable. Perhaps fuse and cable companies know this and measure this; but for the sake of competi... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed I know this: a few decades ago, I had some Monster Cable ICs with directional arrows. I had changed something on my stereo and had the ICs off of it. These ICs were going from preamp to amp. After reconnecting everything, I sat down to listen; but... | |
| Sheffield Lab I have just a couple of Sheffield Lab on vinyl and a few CDs. I also have a couple of Cheskey records that I enjoy very much. The one Cheskey Jazz album is toe tapping good plus has the largest soundstage of any record in my collection- even more ... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Fun reading. No one has made mention of the directionality of wire due to the drawing process. The crystalline structure of copper is aligned a certain way when it is pulled through the die. What I am not sure of, is if the crystalline structure a... | |
| Wet Cleaning the Stylus Have you tried the cyro'd version of Magic Eraser yet? | |
| Wet Cleaning the Stylus When I say that I use a wet brush, I do not mean a totally soaked brush that will submerge the stylus, canteliver and coils in moisture. I put one drop of distilled water onto a dense stylus brush. That drop gets absorbed into the bristles. It is ... |
