| 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. | |

| Are the Mods handling these forums as well as they could be? How can we help them? The TOU here, like most boards, prohibit posts that are abusive, harassing, etc, and permit the PTB (Powers That Be) to remove offending posts or terminate accounts. In my experience, boards have a culture and are within that culture, self-moderat... | |
| Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy! You've already discovered Kent McCollum at Electrostatic Solutions- can he help source a pair for rebuild?I bought mine in 1973 and used them until 1990 when I changed to the Crosby modded Quad 63. The original pair was put in crates that were lef... | |
| Multiple copies of the same album? @bdp24 - do you have Fahey’s ’67 version of Death Chants, Breakdowns & Military Waltzes?BTW, your input would be valued here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/rythmik-subwoofer @elizabeth - so nice to see you posting again. I got bored w... | |
| Multiple copies of the same album? Yes, though mostly multiple different pressings of the same LP, often different countries or masterings. Most of the time I do this purposely, to find a better sounding copy, though I seem to have a habit of buying records I already own sometimes.... |
