| vpi jmw tonarm rust yes rust I totally agree that Toddwj should contact VPI of course, and I have no doubt Mike or someone will take care of him.But I don't think it's cool to slam him for posting a fact, unless of course you think he's making it up. Those reactions sounded r... | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Quite a fascinating conversation, George is certainly getting an earful. If I were in his position, I would certainly explore all reasonable no-cost or low-cost solutions before dumping my whole rig and starting over. I'm not saying Ken is wrong a... | |
| Home brew cleaning solution Here's one post on surface tension by Brian Weitzel of RRL. I know I've seen others but can't remember where offhand.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&989893521&openflup&100&4#100I don't know which theory is better. But... | |
| Conrad Johnson MF2500A & Dyn's 1.3SE More than retail?! What value has this wonderful dealer added to them that would justify charging more than the manufacturer thinks they're worth?Glad to hear that relocating and stabilizing your speakers helped so much. Putting my B&W's on sp... | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? No flame, but like Raul I'd be interested in some further explanation. I don't own and haven't heard a Basis TT, but I've never heard much of anything bad about the 2000 and higher models. ??? | |
| Home brew cleaning solution The Disc Doctor, Last and carbon fiber brushes are all about the full width of the grooves, so I start everywhere at once. | |
| Home brew cleaning solution Agree with Aroc. Brian Weitzel has explained this several times. If he'd wanted RRL to flow more evenly he could have made it do so. | |
| Living with popping and crackling Cmk,I quite agree, the quality of virginity has never been lower. It's pretty frustrating to unwrap a new $25-30 record, knowing there's a 30-50% chance I'll be returning it for replacement. That's my experience in the last six months with both Cl... | |
| Record cleaning vs Last Record Preservative Red2,I use RRL + DD brushes on a Loricraft. I've cleaned many 100's of records and have never once experienced a record getting noisier. Obviously this should never happen in any well designed cleaning regimen that's followed with discipline. OTOH... | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? George,A year or so ago I was just where you are, and I still learn something new and fascinating here every day. I've made some good friends and also have some great music to show for it.Of course my bank account is a wreck. If anyone had told me... | |
| Living with popping and crackling Hi Cmk,I dearly (very dearly) wish that Classic Records vinyl was as quiet as most 20+ year old harmonia mundis, Telfunkens, Archiv Productions, Eratos... But it isn't IME. I have hundreds of CR reissues and very few can match any of those labels ... | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Newbee, I was wrong, but it's your lucky day. I've got a Phase Linear 4000 in the basement. Wanna swap? ;-) | |
| Scheu/Eurolab TT - which tonearm, mat Ahh! Do consider what Rauliruegas said. That would be a gorgeous looking rig. | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Hi Raul,Thanks for helping George with your experience. Good to know his Benz and RS-A1 are (or should be) capable performers. I totally agree he should check/test all setup parameters (especially VTF and VTA) and certainly try higher loading befo... | |
| What's wrong with my VPI motor? Wire nuts?! OMG... Shasta, you've got me ROTFL.So that's what SAMA stands for: Saving Any Monies Available? |
