Help me choose a mono cartridge I am also a fan of Ortofon cartridges. The 2M SE Mono was designed especially for the Beatles Mono Box set - - Here's a link to Ortofon's mono cartridge page that may be of interest to you: http://ortofon.com/hifi/products/mono-seriesI plan to rep... | |
The Turn - second pressing is shipping I also bought a 1st press set and concur 100% with Mofimadness. One of my best purchases of the year - and then some! | |
Cleaning records. How often really? After a good initial cleaning on an RCM, all you should have to do is use a good carbon brush before - - - and after - - - each play (as Mofimadness said). And, as others have said, after the initial cleaning make sure you store the record in a cl... | |
Was this Miles Davis Steamin LP a rare find? All of the recordings Miles did for Prestige were made in 1955/56 - - before stereo. Your record is a mono recording - - and that ain't a bad thing. | |
What is your favourite Coltrane album ? If you don't have it yet, you must get *Blue Train* - his only Blue Note recording. The mono version by Music Matters, Ltd. is my favorite (can't afford an original). I also have the Acoustic Sounds stereo 45 rpm double LP - - also superb. | |
Flux Hifi Sonic Stylus Cleaner Looks similar in function to my 30+ year old Signet SK305 Electronic Stylus Cleaner, which I continue to use on a regular basis. I use Last Stylus Cleaner 4 on mine. Results are always great - - - a really clean stylus. | |
Getting out of vinyl and sick about it If you do go forward with sale of your LPs, please let us know the venue: here, eBay, elsewhere? I may be interested in some of the Mosaic titles to complete my collection. | |
Experiences buying used cartridges I had what you term "a good experience with an honest seller." Got a very gently used Ortofon Jubilee about 15 months ago for a great price. I've used it almost every day since and have no regrets. | |
Audio Rack Opinions Don't know about the other brands recommended, but most (all?) Salamander racks can be fitted with casters, and what a great convenience that is! Purists might poo-poo this option, but I put casters on both of my Salamander racks and haven't regre... | |
Jailbreak Amazon Echo If you try to crack the case, Alexa will cut your throat!Just kidding - - - the Echo is an amazing device, and I got mine from the first run for $100.00. | |
Carbon Fiber Brush with Milty Gun? Brush first and shoot last. | |
Does anyone run 2 or more turntables... I have 3 - Rega P9 with stereo cart. in "main" system; SOTA Sapphire with mono cart. in "main" system; Rega P9 with stereo cart. in secondary system. | |
How do you respond to this question? It sounds mo' better than the other formats out there. | |
Best Female Vocalists Ballads *Lost in Romance*/Lyn Stanley. I've got the 2-disc vinyl set (45rpm), and it is superb. Not sure if it's available in other formats. | |
Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? As to your question about use of a separate tube phono stage with the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Integrated, I've owned that integrated amp for about a year now and have it paired with an old (2006) Eastern Electric tube phono stage. Other equipme... |
