| Room Dust and Records Actually, I was looking for something practical like add an ionizer, keep humidity above 60%..etc. | |
| Room Dust and Records Yah..that's why I used the word, "mitigate" and not eliminate. | |
| Top 10 vintage cassette decks I purchased new and still have the lowly Nachamichi 480. It was still working years ago, but is it really worth a rebuild? With modern streaming and records, why spend money on this medium? I'm asking because I know that those on this thread fi... |
