| Vacuuming after ultrasonic vinyl cleaning @Orthomead- you shouldn't have static problems from cleaning. The VPI could sometimes charge records by over vacuuming. I've only heard positives about the big ClearAudio machine, but have no hands-on experience with the unit. I'd go back to bas... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn - I've followed this saga and given you my views along the way. I would still have a call w/ Jon Derda. Maybe something productive can come from it. I think he's pretty much the guy in charge on MoFi Distribution and my encounters with h... | |
| Woody Shaw- Blackstone Legacy Quite welcome. I just happened to see something about the reissue. The supporting cast of players is killer, not all famous (unless you are into jazz, especially from that era- post bop). The blurb I read said it was "all analog" (yeah, I know) an... | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? FWIW, the stone bodied Koetsus work well with the Kuzma Airline- it doesn’t have high vertical mass, but the horizontal mass is considerable (this, notwithstanding Franc’s claim that the air bearing is frictionless and makes that irrelevant for mo... | |
| Avantgarde modifications? Let me offer you what I know, which may not answer your question. Mapleshade made a few heavy duty frames for the Duo back in the day to accomplish two things; rigidity and the ability to separate the horns from the integrated woofer. There weren’... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac- I don’t think @mijostyn is asking for a lifetime warranty. I’ve had stuff happen over the years with product defects. The ideal response would be-- gee, that’s too bad. Would you mind sending it to us for inspection-- and if the distribut... | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? @mulveling- well done. | |
| Not your run-of-the-mill, used spinner. @tablejockey - I think Graham was the original US distributor for Tech Das which would explain why his arm was on many. My recollection is that the distribution arrangement changed, a year or more ago? | |
| Not your run-of-the-mill, used spinner. @tablejockey - you don’t see many of those used, but in the Tech Das line, I think the AF 3 Premium may be the sweet spot. I use a big Minus K under my Kuzma XL and it does a very good job isolating footfalls in an old Victorian house. At the pri... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum J Carr's input is invaluable. Talk to Steve about this and see if he can address it. The question of warranty duration remains: is it the manufacturer or the regional distributor? | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @Mijostyn-sorry to hear this. I'll also echo the use of Steve Leung- he's good and his turn-around time is usually really fast. I would call him first and talk to him about the issue and see how busy he is. Peter L. is great- I had him replace the... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? Oops. Edit function prompts the "You Must Verify" drop down. | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? I got the prompt, verify phone and update password. Seems to work fine. The last thing some idiot is gonna do on a home break in is grab a heavy piece of hi-fi gear. Plus I now live in Texas. I'll say no more. :) | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Sorry, Il Dottore, I am a copyright lawyer, not a patent lawyer. Yes, I can read a patent, but do not profess any expertise in the area. There were a few long time members here that did have patent expertise- I think Fred Crowder was one. My mai... | |
| Better Records vs MoFi Record prices, even without Better Records or MoFi, are inflated. To me, those enterprises are two different things. I never doubted that sample to sample variations, even with the same dead wax inscriptions, could sound different. I was a MoFi ... |
