| cartridge demagnetizing vs. no demagnetization Seems that I have read somewhere in the past that there is a passive way to demag cartridges-- By crossing the RCA's ie: touching the signal pins with the ground pins, holding for ~20 seconds it is supposed to demag the cart. Anyone heard of or tr... | |

| DIY stylus-cleaning magic long Count me in. As a long time LP9 user, I have been satisfied with the product. But with all the magic and publicity this unique cleaning method has gotten I just had to try it ~Well-- While I still use the LP9, I must say that I find the "Deacon-Cl... | |

| Well Tempered Labs out of business? I spoke with George @ Stanalog (factory rep for WT) at length less than a month ago-- I found him rather gracious with his time, and extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful regarding the line. He did remark that he IS extremely busy-As far ... | |
| turntable upgrade VPI or CLEARAUDIO? Hi Brad, The paddle is to be covered completely with the silicon, WT suggests starting out with 1-2 mm then adding more if necessary. (If I remember correctly mine is covered with about 3mm)I use a very thin wire or the end of a thin steel rod to ... | |

I spent a little time looking for specs on the phono stage for the 2325 but ... | |
| ? cartridge should match vintage marantz reciever Your 2325 is an awesome receiver- with it's warm buttery sound the Shure should be quite the match for it. I certainly agree with Elizabeth and would give her ideas a try. Once you get the combination dialed in you are assuredly in for a treat, si... | |
| Home brew cleaning solution I must say that although I was sceptical at first, I most certainly agree-- RRL products are by far the best I have tried. There is a significant difference! I absolutely notice a much lower noise floor and blacker background. (I also use DD brush... | |
