| Kl Audio LP200 ultrasonic record cleaner insights I use both methods- AIVS No. 15, plus lab water on an old VPI using MoFi brush/pads, then into ultrasonic (I have the AD, which I bought just as the KL was announced). I buy mostly used, older vinyl and have found that the enzyme/agitation/lab wat... | |
| Any Allnic H1201 owners out there? WRM57 and I are dopplegangers~ I also ran a Steelhead for a number of years and rolled the tubes- found that NOS Teles gave it the most holographic sound using it through the MM inputs, and bypassing the gain control into a separate line stage. It... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl I'd be surprised (and delighted) to see uber quality all analog vinyl remasters of these, but I doubt that will happen for several reasons.* While vinyl has been enjoying a 'bump' it is hardly a determining format; leaving aside the condition of t... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Just go to Hoffman's site- there's a ton of comparisons there with all sorts of pressings of Zep and other things. I've barely scratched the surface, and I'm hardly an expert, on Zep vinyl or other records- just done the research and listened. (I ... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl PS- on IV, i think it is Porky/Pecko not Piros mastering, but I'd have to go check. Not terribly expensive. | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl I'm still waiting for mine to be shipped, even though I pre-ordered them (Deluxe vinyl, with the extra tracks) back in March. There are several threads on the Hoffman site going now, including one specifically for each of the formats. As the Rocki... | |
| What's your profession? Age? I probably responded to this thread at some point in the past. Practiced copyright law in NYC for 33+ years, semi-retired from the partnership of a large firm a few years ago to do other things (non-lawyer) in the music/film/tech fields. I teach p... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Austin gives you a million opportunities to hear bands, known and unknown- standbys include Redd Volkaert at the Continental (where there are some pretty serious jam sessions when other folks are in town); we caught Lady Gaga's act during SXSW- re... | |
| Matched & Balanced Can Kiss My Euphemism A similar approach was advocated by the designer of the Audiopax 88- which had two mirror image amp circuits in each monoblock and a pair of user adjustable controls to adjust bias- 'Timbre Lock' was the name of the feature. I had a pair of those ... | |
| "Mojo" Myles Mancuso Cool, I'll be back in the Hudson Valley around then, but not sure I'll make it to that show. I will look for him though. Do you ever go to the Turning Point in Piermont? David Lindley will be playing there in early June- if you haven't heard him, ... | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? I did read your post. You said that the issue of detritus on a piece of vinyl was exaggerated and that you used a scope on your copy of Tapestry. My point was, in the instances where I buy new vinyl that is 'dirty' it is usually pretty obvious wit... | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? Altaylor- most of the stuff I've seen on new records is visible to the naked eye- sleeve detritus, fingerprints, etc. Stuff on the surface isn't the same as what is in the grooves (thus, a record that has surface scratches can still sound fine whi... | |
| LP Record Cleaning Machine - Ultrasonic or Vacuum I'm using both methods, vacuum and ultrasonic (the AD). Love the convenience of the AD, but i also find that with old records- the vast majority of what I buy- I benefit from cleaning first with AIVS No. 15 and lab water, using my trusty old VPI. ... | |
| Rack Recommendations Typo correction: "Skepticism" but you knew what i meant. Damn, the post editing function rarely functions. Good luck!Bill Hart | |
| Rack Recommendations These racks have come along way from the days of the old Target stands. I am using a variety of the fancy stuff about which you express sketpticism- (Grand Prix Monaco with carbon fiber shelves and all the bells and whistles and HRS, as well as a ... |
