authentic space recordings
For ultimate reverb look in to the Deep Listening Band and trombonist Stuart Dempster, believe recordings were made in empty cistern and cathedral 
Aronov preamp
This is what he has reported to me. Not sure if the unit was modified before I got it at an Estate sale.  "It allows one of the tubes to operate as ballast or a current source, without adding appropriate resistors to help regulate the voltages". A... 
Kirmuss audios ultrasonic record cleaner
Am spoiled by the air drying on my KL Audio and the fact that I can multitask while it is cleaning and drying. Was lucky to get one used here for about 2500$ and as a vinyl seller clean an average of ten records a day. Love mine. 
Term for an LP that is about the quality you'd expect to pull out of a dollar bin?
Been buying and selling since the early 80's and the term I know is "starter copy". Obviously not mint but will do till an upgrade is found. I find that in a time where the internet offers so many choices that claim to be quite nice that my starte...

Austin Record Convention
@whart Sorry I missed you. Was there all day from 8Am till I finally got away to shop around 4:15. I have the three tables next to Direct Audio(the dealer with 6 tables of new Mobile Fidelity vinyl). I am near Dallas and not Austin. If you do not ... 
Sellers increasingly overgrade records
As a small time seller these comments are quite sobering. I have had recent success seling some sealed vinyl on Amazon. If I ever get my schedule together I hope to sell some vinyl on Discogs that I will clean with my KL Audio ultrasonic cleaner a... 
Austin Record Convention
Just a reminder the show starts this Friday. Hope some Audiogon fans will stop by my tables to chat(table numbers 67-69).
