"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!
@antinn I’m not going to argue with you about chemicals and processes. As I have said repeatedly that your system must work for a few records at a time. You yourself have stated that. It’s when you try to scale that to 20 or more records it become... 
"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!
@lewm If you were a smoker in the 1950's (I wasn't) you filled the room with cigarette smoke. Have you ever seen the windows of a smokers car and the stench that it produces. That stench doesn't go away. The same thing happens in a smoke filled ro... 
"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!
@antinn Sorry I offended you. I'm sure because you have written books, manuals and patents you're well known as an expert submarine tube cleaner. Now it is good that somebody has written something definitive, but not conclusive. That information w... 
"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!
@whart I agree with you. I am not knocking all the work that Neil has done. I was pointing out that he has made some pronouncements (to me) on the VPI forum and here that are not based on any fact or practical experience. I think he should leave i... 
"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!
@whart I agree with you about Neil Antonin. He has developed a very good manual cleaning method which no doubt does an excellent job. But if you have many records to clean it will take forever. About five years ago I hooked up with Rush Paul, via... 
Primaluna EVO 400 Amps/Preamp lacking bass impact
If the subs are set correctly they don't get in the way of the mains.   It's all in the setup.  
Primaluna EVO 400 Amps/Preamp lacking bass impact
I found the original EL34's in the HP Mono  Blocks I use were missing too much. I  am driving ATC SCM19s that have a flat impedance curve with very little damping problems. I skipped the lesser tubes when I decided to roll and went directly to KT1... 
Tube amps under $7500
I had a Rogue ST-100 for a minute. It sounded terrible on my speakers, which are extremely accurate. I understand that Rogue overdrives the power tubes so you must constantly replace them at about six months. I have two Prima Luna Dialogue Premiu... 
Anyone listen to entire albums?
I started buying albums in the late 1960's. I never just listened to one side. I always play all sides in order. Think of it as an artistic creation. The album was conceived with all the songs (not necessarily a concept) in the order in which they... 
Tubed preamps and Power amps- How old is too old???
I've owned a CJ PV6 for 40 years. It has been in constant service. The CJ tech replaced/upgraded the caps to their new type in 2017. I played it 8-12 hours a day since it returned having been blessed by CJ. I just have had to replace the tubes. It... 
Ultrasonic cleaning
I use the Rush Paul method slightly modified: https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/rushton-paul-diy-approach-ultrasonic-cleaning-lps/ I've deviated slightly (Triton -X100, 99% isoproful, just RO water in the US tank), but I am thri... 
For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc.
@millercarbon And that is more respect than this pompous and bass ackward comment deserves. That’s a joke. He doesn’t respect anyone except himself. 
The Lifespan of an LP?
@millercarbonThe sage of Agon. You can always count on him to explain the basics, because that's all that he know. 
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
@coachpoconnerMillercarbon- What does “As soon as we move from the hypothetical home of the scoundrel to the particular home of the individual then acoustic treatment can suddenly matter a lot.”On what planet do you exist? Why was it important to ... 
Is my anti-skating too strong.
There he is in all his glory. Chuck Miller making the reader feel small and insignificant as he pontificates his supreme and omnipotent expertise.
