| Where 2 buy 3x distilled water and 100 alchohol? Bill, as long as your records are vinyl, and not shellac, the small amounts of alcohol is fine. Never use alcohol on shellac. Mostly old stuff on 78 is more likely to be shellac. I'm not sure when the change-over occured, but I have had many album... | |
| Review: Totem Acoustics Model 1 Monitor What I really liked about your review was the way you described your listening evolution, your problems, and your solutions. Number 1 was the music. It wasn't about gear. But gear was required to get you where you wanted to go. Totem makes a good ... | |
| help on sumiko project RM-4 Set up is a snap. Double check the spindle-to-pivot distance with a ruler and compare it to the spec.If there is no spec, and the arm was factory installed, leave it. Install the cartridge,slide on the counterweight, balance the arm level, dial-in... | |
| 6sn7's for the AE-3? My favorite are the same ones you like. The brown base, short bottle Sylvania 6SN7-WGT. | |
| Stax Hdphns: SRM-1/SRX versusLambda Pro/SRD/7 The best way I've found to run a pair of Lambdas is to use the Class A headphone preamp Stax made for them in the 1980s. It was called the SRA-12S. I had one, and used it for my regular preamp, and the Lambdas. It had output jacks for 2 sets of St... | |
| Free TWEAK that works An intereting tweak. Regarding your discussion of cones, I tried to promote the use of Cocobolo wood cones for awhile on the forum. Nobody seemed interested. The Cocobolo wood is an extremely good material for cones. I use them under my TT, and th... | |
| Who Shot the Deputy? Well, we know the Sheriff was shot, but do we really know that the deputy was even shot? All we know is that he didn't shoot the deputy. Maybe nobody shot the deputy. | |
| Will I be a jaw dropping Wow for an upgraded CDP? Sorry, forgot about the record cleaning machine. But you could get that later. | |
| Will I be a jaw dropping Wow for an upgraded CDP? Ake, I am going to tell you something right now. If you are using a Walkman CD, and you haven't already blown alot of cash on CD discs, then you just have to go with an analog setup for the kind of system that you have. For $600, you could get a R... | |
| Improving reviews I think these are some excellent suggestions. I would like to add an idea or two. In the commentary on the sound of equipment, it is not just the equipment that needs to be evaluated. The listener/reviewer should list his previous experience, and ... | |
| Kasey Chambers; "Barricades and Brickwalls" JD, you've hit my hot button. I love female vocals and am intrigued by hidden songs. I will try to get the import CD, but do you know if the album is available on LP? | |
| VPI Scout. Rives, the Teres is a factory direct product, and available either as a kit or complete. No dealer network. There are several hundred of them out there now, but I don't know if there are any owners in your area.No, I don't get any commission off t... | |
| VPI Scout. Without trying to sound like a "broken record" :^), I seriously recommend the Teres Audio line of turntables. If you search the archives, you can read what I and others have said about them. Also search the Vinyl Asylum archives under Teres. Their... | |
| Anyone else like to Listen in the Dark? I always keep my small 7 watt turntable light on so I don't bust my ass when I get up to change the record. I keep all the other lights off. Also, it helps me to read the record label when I want to cue up a particular track. Then I can keep just ... | |
| Being reminded of the big picture... Atzen, I know what you mean! While I am not the greatest piano player, I do play a little jazz and blues. It is really a wonderful experience to actually create the music, even if not at a high level. It's not the result that is of the utmost impo... |
