Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
I have been looking for lead in my power cord for years. (Sorry, that was just too easy). I am sending this link to Larry David.This is one of the most bizarre/funny threads that I have ever read. I can not wait to log on everyday. What a script, ...

Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
I think that the possibility of contaminants reaching the surface of records due to a hose attachment of the Perfection Steamer is minimal, concern that it is misplaced. The chances of water breaking down the elements of composite fixtures are sli... 
Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
How about a little perspective folks, this isn't the vaccine for Polio. Nobody is going to make millions on an attachment (or anythings else to do with) to steam clean records. Self adulation is unattractive at best. If you don't want others to us... 
Best phono pre in the 500.00 price range Used
Hi- I've had the CJ PV 10 for about a year, you can see my related gear. I added about $150- to the $500- purchase by adding Telefunken output tubes on the analog side, which are noticably different than the CJ tube set. I like them, find them to ... 
Flattening a warped LP
1/8" plate glass will be fine, not tempered, unnecessary. Don't worry about temp, you are only bringing it to approx. 200 degrees. 
Rush fans on the board ??
Was that at the Mohegan Sun? My neighbor went and told me it was much better than he thought it would be. I new I should have gone! 
What happened to the AM/FM tuner???
I find the Magnum Dynalab tuner that I bought an excellent source for good quality music, and it is free. Living in the northeast there are plenty of inependent/college stations with a great variety of music. Bought myself a decent powered antenna... 
Vandersteen 2CE's
I had a pair that I powered with a Bryston 4B rated at 250wpc that really played into the strengths of the Vandy's- clean fast bass response. You can use a 100 wpc amp but unless it is a nice tube amp I think you will be leaving alot of the Vandy'... 
Best system used for $10,000 for classical music
You need to give a bit more info. Do you want digital or analog or both. Tubes or solid state (or hybrid). 2 Channel, surround, size of room? The detail of your question will correspond closely to the quality of the answers you get. Spend some tim... 
FM static?
"Unchecked Building" - Along the Ct shore there has been a building boom for the last 20 year which is creating unintended pressures on everything from wildlife to environment. NYC spreading tall buildings from the west and Boston spreading from t... 
FM static?
Being a contractor in CT I have seen unchecked building have a negative effect over air reception. I used to get Boston and NY stations clearly, now it is a crap shoot getting New Haven stations at times. Rampant interference has made it more impo... 
Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
The sputtering may be caused by the tip getting clogged on occasion. To clear I pass a piece of 14g wire through it and back to a nice steady steam stream. BTW this is a great way to clean records, mine have never been cleaner. My system for clean... 
Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if...
Your M5G should have came with a 17oz X 1/4" rubber mat (Super Mat)BTW -little tweak- try flipping it over so the smooth side is up for a different sound. The mat will then only contact the platter at the raised rings, amazing difference in sound,... 
Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if...
The fluid damper is not difficult to install. The biggest risk is in over tightening- stainless into aluminum is easy to strip. No need to sock it down, just snug it up and you will be ok. As James mentioned be careful removing the screw on tonear...
