| Wet Cleaning records makes things worse? Is this the product? [url]http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/2365478.pdf?_ga=2.251195343.832898279.1529509380-1287413366.152950...[/url]That’s the material data sheet. I’m not a chemist but the ingredients are used as a surfactant (to break surface... | |
| Beware the audio guru @frogman - re your observation #2, I think it underscores that all the gear fiddling is a hobby for its own sake and may be related to better sound reproduction in a "test" setting, but is not necessarily connected to the enjoyment of music. In fa... | |
| Design flaw in Esoteric DV-60? One thought if neither PS nor Esoteric have a solution is to ask whether a beefy external power supply can be substituted. i know this is done with computers and other gear that uses wall warts- but perhaps the board in question involves more than... | |
| Design flaw in Esoteric DV-60? I have the Eaton on the main panel it was around $100 plus the electrician’s time to install it which wasn’t much, because he was doing a whole lot of other work here. For the main system, everything runs from dedicated lines fed by a Controlled P... | |
| Audio Research SP3-a1 Purely for informational purposes, from that legacy database of ARC stuff: http://www.arcdb.ws/SP3/SP3.html Love the black and gold faceplate now. It's totally pimp. I thought it garish when I bought mine new, and went for silver. PS: schematic fo... | |
| Audio Research SP3-a1 I know someone who got an old unit upgraded and modified to some "C" specification, which apparently makes it sound more modern. I can check who did the work but doubt it will be much cheaper. I had a new one back in the day- it was a revelation, ... | |
| Design flaw in Esoteric DV-60? That sucks. I gather that you keep it plugged in b/c it has a standby function and loses its sonic mojo if running from a cold start. (I had that issue with a Lamm Ref line stage- you were supposed to leave the power supply powered up but lighteni... | |
| What is a good cleaning agent for components @dweller makes a good point about proceeding with caution. If you are comfortable that the lettering won't be removed, I learned about Endust for Electronics from Vlad Lamm. My line stage had gone in for updates some years ago, and it came back lo... | |
| Building a listening room from scratch I remember you @unrecivedogma. You had an earlier thread about moving your records. You might try what the architect suggests - or other material at some point, since fabric doesn't have to cost a lot and installing it is probably less work and le... | |
| Building a listening room from scratch Some of the best sounding rooms I had were in old buildings that didn’t require a lot of treatment, e.g. a large room in an old brownstone in Brooklyn, with wide plank floors and heavy real plaster walls- behind which was lathe and horsehair. What... | |
| How Many Brimars Are There?? Doesn’t Brimar stand for "British Made American Range" to enable the UK tube maker (it was part of ITT and got bought or renamed as STC if memory serves) to compete with the American tube configurations?I'm also not sure Brimar manufactured all th... | |

| Schiit not shipping I bought my first product from them by online order Friday. An Eitr. I got a notice of shipping today (Monday) from the "Incontinence Institute of America." These guys are really beating this to death. Whatever. I have a sense of humor, and notwit... | |
| Don't waste money on ultrasonic RCMs +1 chayro. But, in "our" defense, we are, ah, nerds? So, any statement is subject to scrutiny. | |
