Periphery Record Rings
I have emailed Larry and he is working on a slightly lighter weight version for suspended tables about 400 grams hopefully it will work on my Oracle turntable. He should have it tested sometime this week 
DC motors and outboard power supplies...
I use the Origin Live dc motor and controller on a Oracle turntable. I find that the temp. of the room has an effect on the speed. If i let the room cool off or heat up the speed will change slightly, but it is audible. Letting the motor run for 1... 
Revelation tonearm cable - users
Thanks GMorris i had already read that forum and that is what peaked my interest in the cables. I was just hoping to find more good reviews on this cable than just one.Todd

I actually found a used set for $400 decent price but not much feedback on how they sound. Revelation Audio has a very convincing write up on their website.Todd 
Warmed cleaning fluids
I have tried MINT lp cleaner , VPI cleaner and AUDIO TECHNA cleaner.I have not tried a home brew cleaner. That is what i would call recycling if they threw paper in with the vinyl !Todd

I have done a search i only see one post on the tonearm cable. I wonder why?Todd 
Warmed cleaning fluids
It very well could be paper on some but not all, cause some lp's have plastic liners. I just received the Premier record cleaner and have just tried cleaning the album with the worst deposits and no luck it didn't seem to touch it . These albums w... 
Warmed cleaning fluids
The reason i was thinking warming the fluid might help cleaning is i have several 30 year old direct to disc lp's that i cannot remove what i think is mold release wax . I have cleaned them using AIVS fluids. Some of these have been cleaned 20 tim... 
Are you using anti-skating or not
I am running a Graham Phantom with a ZYX airy 3 and i have the antiskate set to zero. This does not mean i have no antiskate the weight is still there just moved as far in as possible so still a little bit of antiskate. I found once i used the Min... 
CES update 2009
I thought the best sounding system was the Wilson's driven by the LAMM ML3 tube amps, i would agree very sedate but smooth and lovely sounding. The Vandersteen room with the big and expensive Clearaudio linear tracking turntable ( $150k) was the s... 
Simaudio's new power supply for LP 5.3
I can't say if it is still competitive with other 3 or 4 k phono stages but it is the best i have heard in my system .I think you should see if your local audio shop would let you try one for a few days , i am sure you would keep it. I am sure you... 
Simaudio's new power supply for LP 5.3
I guess i would have to take back the statement about losing bass impact. When i installed the power supply i changed power cables to a cheap cryo'd cable. This change of cable caused the reduction in bass impact not the PSX 5.3 power supply. I ha... 
Simaudio's new power supply for LP 5.3
I have had the PSX 5.3 now for almost a month. I was so impressed with the sound of the phono stage that i ordered the power supply from my local dealer before it was ready to be shipped. The PSX 5.3 takes at least 300 hrs to sound its best , at 2... 
Graham Phantom + Mint LP
I purchased a MINT Tractor for my Phantom a few months ago, it made an incredible improvement . I found i was 1mm out using the Graham jig but that was because i have the cartridge spacer installed and the Graham jig does not work with the cartrid... 
White residue on stylus
Headsnappin - I called them Mint strips the manufacturer calls them Mint Stripes, they are just replacement strips of a soft fabric used to replace the cleaning fabric on the suction tube on the VPI 16.5 record cleaner. Since you are not using a V...
