| Stone fireplace wall effects on acoustics? @audioquest4life - not to derail the thread, but I'd like to talk to you offline about your Classic Audio T1.5. Perhaps we can do a call when you have the time. I'll send you a PM.Thanks, Bill Hart | |
| Stone fireplace wall effects on acoustics? I'll echo Pauly and add- the suck out problem, as I know it, typically arises when people put their speakers to either side of the FP, which may look grand but as all of you are aware, has to be dealt with. Hard to predict in the abstract how it w... | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? I'd love to go for a drive. | |
| Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.) Too bad about Vinyl Stack- that was apparently a good product and not crazy money. | |
| Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.) Terry, it is a long document, so this article will take you to a link where you can download the 2nd Edition of Neil’s wonderful paper (now a tome). https://thevinylpress.com/precision-aqueous-cleaning-of-vinyl-records-2nd-edition/ | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits My non-technical contribution at this point- I have done a number of rooms over the years with dedicated circuits and they cannot, at least where I lived by code, be entirely separate from the main household electrical service. (If you live in a p... | |
| Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse? @clearthinker- that's too bad- those cartridges are well regarded; haven't heard one in years. You know, there is another participant here at Audiogon with a similar "handle" but he typically speaks in triplets-that is, anything said, spoken or wr... | |
| Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.) The cleaning expert @terry9 referred to upthread might have been Neil Antin. Neil was responsible, among other things, for developing cleaning methods to scrub 02 systems on submarines for the U.S. Navy. He is a trained engineer with a fertile min... | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits I would definitely look for vendors and products that allow a trial and return period- I'm not suggesting power conditioners don't work- in fact, they may work effectively in eliminating more than what you intended. I eventually got rid of all pow... | |
| Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.) @lewm: As @vinylshadow mentioned, these pumps are off the shelf. Monks claims theirs is specially adapted to spec from a pump commonly used in dialysis machines with a low failure rate and the ability to run continuously for a long while. If you s... | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? Thanks, mijostyn. I learned to listen on stats. I'd love listening to a big pair. Getting me to come back to the NE is a whole other question, but I used to love autumn in New England. Gorgeous- the Adirondacks, Maine, Vermont, all of it. Used t... | |
| Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse? You know in all this time I've now been in Texas, I have yet to see a roadrunner. I keep looking. I guess I have to leave town....:) | |
| Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse? In my experience, the "hours" of play actually on a cartridge bear more on stylus wear than suspension collapse-- which I think can happen when a cartridge is relatively new (the part-time audiophile site had a review of an Airtight Supreme, and s... | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? @speakermaster- normally, I would agree that a wall shelf is usually a good alternative and cost effective. I'm dealing with a turntable that is about 170 lbs with one arm, add another 30 lbs for 2nd arm pod (not in use right now) and the HRS plin... | |
| Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.) @mglik - I think the maintenance and care of the "traditional" Monks is overstated. When I got mine, used, I knew it was not performing as it should and had it rebuilt by the guy who does the institutional work for Monks based out of NY. He also s... |
