| Yanni or Laurel? That's it. I'm selling all this ****. Larry i- +whatever! | |
| High End Reproduction is back Syn: I think you have long been an advocate for a top table and arm obviating the need for the most expensive cartridges; that this enables the use of a lesser priced cartridge without a loss in performance. So, is this cartridge made by Acoustica... | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls @onhwy61 - have a British friend who loves endurance rallies. Did the Cannonball Baker (not the car one, the bike one) on a pre-war Harley. He was in his mid-'70s at the time. Stiff upper lip and all the rest... | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls It’s certainly a question worth revisiting; the assumption that tone controls in the signal path were not ’purist" has held since the early ’70s (as I remember it). As another poster noted, I was stunned at how much a box shop HT pre-pro with DSP ... | |
| Have You Ever Owned QUADS? @roberjerman- good for you. I wanted to own a Futterman back in the day, but viewed it (perhaps wrongly) as the amp equivalent of a London/Decca cartridge- high risk/high reward.@geoffkait - I think you are swiping too broadly, Geoff. I agree abou... | |
| Have You Ever Owned QUADS? Bought my first pair in 1973 and had them restored last year after they were sitting for years in crates. In the meantime, I had used a pair of Crosby-modded '63s, from roughly 1990 to 2005 or so. My old 57s with a fresh restoration sound fabulous... | |
| Needing some help figuring out my Panasonic sl-1000 Turntable I bought my SP-10 new, in the U.S. in 1973 and it was the earlier model, not a Mk II, which is the more desirable turntable for several reasons having to do with the motor, controller and platter. Yours is an oddity, perhaps a collector’s piece, b... | |

| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @bydlo- are you in the States? Try the AIVS No. 15 for the deep cleaning if you can. You must rinse afterwards though. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @bydlo- for what it’s worth, the Monks brushes work really well on the Monks which runs at a higher rpm than something like the VPI. I don’t know what fluid you are going to use for pre-wash, but I’ve found that the velvet pad type, e.g. Disc Doct... | |
| Allnic H-3000 hum when mute button engaged. Calvin- quite a few threads on the subject. A lot of the rectifiers are cheap enough that you can try several for yourself and see what works best in your system. I am presently using a GEC U-52, have used a fat base first series Mullard (the earl... | |
| Allnic H-3000 hum when mute button engaged. Good catch. I didn’t even think of that. Hope that solves the problem.Then you can get down to the serious business of rolling rectifiers. :) | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @bydlo - i have not added any surfactant/detergent to the water since I’ve been using the KL. When I got it, I was using Reagent Grade 1, which seemed to be a waste of money. Now I just use distilled in the US, but for a finish rinse on valuable o... | |
| Allnic H-3000 hum when mute button engaged. @dangcaonguyen - I agree that you should speak to seller first before you open up the unit or commit to spending money. May still be worth talking to Albert about your options. Perhaps it is a simple fix, but presumably that’s going to be out of t... | |
| Allnic H-3000 hum when mute button engaged. @lewm- you may already know this, but Bill Thalmann is authorized to work on the Allnic gear. And I agree, he is first rate. He restored a bunch of vintage gear for me that give me great joy in my second system. Nice man to boot. |
