| Record Cleaning Fluid? @fjn04 - distilled as a rinse is fine. I use reagent grade 1, but I’m a bit anal. The folks at the Culpeper facility (the intake archive for the Library of Congress) told me in an interview that deionized water is sufficient for a rinse. @cleeds -... | |
| Record Cleaning Fluid? As in no surfactant- just plain distilled? Not for the vacuum cleaning system. For the ultrasonic, yes. (a KL, which as far as I know, doesn't contemplate anything more than some grade of purified water). | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @psag- I have a Monks too (an Omni). If I had to choose one machine, that would be it. But the synergy of cleaning on the Monks and ultrasonic- in both directions-- brings more to the table. Try it. | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used Lot’s of people like the Lyra Atlas for its spectacular sound- it is quite dramatic sounding, and i’ve heard it set up in some systems where, in combination with other components, everything was just that much more WOW, without sounding too splash... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @Alf- That link you provided is almost a horror show of what not to do in my estimation. Using dish soap- sure it will work, getting it off is another matter- I suppose hot water will work but it isn't necessary to use some detergent with a lot of... | |
| I picked up a ROKU, I am wanting to cut the Cable TV cord. @jea48 - well YAY! I'm a genius. :)Not really. Glad you got it working. best,bill | |
| I picked up a ROKU, I am wanting to cut the Cable TV cord. @jea48 - I wish I could give you a magic bullet, given how much help you have been to me and others over the years here on things electrical. I had some earlier Roku units, one smelled like burning plastic when I powered it up, a couple others wor... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning I cannot answer all of your questions, in part because I am not mixing any solution for my ultrasonic for the reason stated above (I use a KL machine right now). One issue I see as a potential hazard is the flash point of isopropyl even diluted, g... | |
| Avatar's not displaying correctly Yep. I'm faceless. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @slaw @terry9 I think one of the values of terry’s input is the number of records you can effectively clean in one batch. There is a temptation to stack a bunch of records on a skewer and clean a lot at the same time. As someone upthread pointed o... | |
| Is it possible to have a quiet vinyl records I clean a record thoroughly, and resleeve it in my preferred aftermarket sleeve (keeping the original inner). I also use a thick HDPE outer jacket ’bag,’ so I’m not sliding the resleeved record back into the jacket, but instead between the jacket ... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @slaw - a few years ago, I was doing some research for a piece on DIY US (after having owned both the Audio Desk and KL). One of my sources of information was a long time manufacturer of factory line sized ultra sonic cleaning systems. (He didn't ... | |
| Is it possible to have a quiet vinyl records You shouldn’t have that many noisy records. I buy quite a bit- say 15 records a week? Many old copies, some new. Sure, the older ones could have been abused (I try to limit myself to M- grading, but that’s no assurance) and occasionally I’ll get a... | |
| Is it possible to have a quiet vinyl records Certain cartridge and phono stage combinations tend to exacerbate the problem- I don’t know the Ortofon, so others will have to weigh in- I have the Allnic 3000 which I’ve been using for about 5 years and have run Lyras and then Airtight cartridge... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! @jea48 - the first clip was the one I was referring to but it’s been so long since I’ve watched the film. Myrna Loy was great. |
