| 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? 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.... | |
| Rythmik subwoofer I think you'll find a number of threads on the Rythmik products- I have a few of their subs but don't use them with Maggies. If @bdp24 reads this, he may help b/c he is familiar with their use in conjunction with planars. They make an open baffle ... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! @moonglum - well done. I gather that regrinding is still common today, but that the issue of metal fragments is not as much of a problem. See [url]https://www.ptonline.com/articles/a-vinyl-record-business-grows-in-brooklyn[/url]I was told recently... | |

| Done buying new vinyl I buy a lot of vinyl, mostly used but some new and new reissues of old stuff. Grading inflation is pretty bad- it’s almost luck of the draw. There are a few places that are almost unimpeachable, but you pay top dollar for their copies and if it is... | |
| marantz model 9 service Where are you located? Bill Thalmann is top notch, located in Virginia. He recently restored a bunch of vintage tube electronics for me- very focused on SQ and well as respect for the original piece. (He was the tech director at C-J for many years... |
