| Is there a standard for number of LP's per inch? Guys thanks for all your responses. I was really trying to see if one of the collector organizations had previously set a standard. I'll take all your tips into account. Best to all. | |
| Is there a standard for number of LP's per inch? OK! Maybe I'll see if I can come up with a useful standard here. Thanks for your help! | |
| Anyone with Manley Chinook use a custom Power Cord? @lewm- could you help me with specific makes and values for the caps you mentioned above? Many thanks. | |
| New Rega Planar 6 You might want to check this thread at a Rega owners site: discussion of build quality and plinth 'sagging': Rega Planar 6 plinth saggingI'm a longtime Rega owner, fwiw. | |
| LAST record preservative improves the sound I just received a shipment of four Discogs LP's that the previous owner had treated with LAST and I was knocked out at the apparent increase in S/N and clarity. I'm considering becoming a convert. | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today Yamaha NS1000’s here since about 1976, with a Velodyne ULD-15 Series II subwoofer since around 1990. | |
| Threshold FET 10/e cartridge amp questions Thanks to all for your help! It's much appreciated. | |
| Threshold FET 10/e cartridge amp questions I do apologize to all: I mis-stated things*. I have an MM cart (Shelter 501II) and have the Threshold phono pre set for maximum gain. As to "noise": it's hum, really. There's no noise issue.If anyone knows the best capacitance setting for a cart l... | |
| Threshold FET 10/e cartridge amp questions I love the preamp, which is all-original, unmodified. The problems: It just doesn't seem to have enough gain to work with a Shelter 501II and Threshold FET 10/e line amp: I have hum problems I don't have with my Heed Quasar. AFAIK the Threshold ha... | |
| Shelter 501 mkii then what now I have only used a SS Level 2 stylus on my 501 since buying it used: under a microscope it the original stylus showed a lot of wear and the seller kindly and immediately paid for a retip. Pretty cool.So: the Level 2 is revelatory for me, particula... | |
| Upgrade question. Rega RP3 or RP6. The RP3 and RP6 plinths are totally different. The RP6 is made from medium-density fiberboard as opposed to the coarser particle board used for the RP3. The finishes, obviously, are worlds apart. The braces are different: the top brace is a sandwi... | |
| Wet Cleaning the Stylus FWIW Soundsmith strongly discourage use of fluids except in emergencies. Edited from their document-"The DRY soft brush is good, but far better is to use some "fun tak"... just before or after every play [and they go into the blu-tak method]..."Us... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? My daily driver,driven winter and summer in Maine. 170,000 miles now. I haven't really given much thought to a replacement. Maybe an Audi A3. As to the ideal- honestly, I'd love to get my hands on a low-mileage replacement 968. | |
| Survey-What is your most used source? Turntable here. Maine radio content is scant at best, and the NPR affiliate just keeps getting blander and blander. I have many may hundreds of CD's and a PLEX-based media server, but I've been listening overwhelmingly to LP's for the past 4-5 yea... | |
| Furman Reference IT 15i power conditioner I have just finished installing a Furman IT-Reference 15i into my system. Purchased 9-of-10 used for $1150. This is my first experience with power conditioning beyond the IsoMAX units. Observations:(A) I think it's a real shame that all of eleven ... |
