Philjolet,Correct...........I now use only the steamer and a final water rinse. No cleaning solution! I find it cheaper and better. 
L'Art record cleaning solution
I have both L'Art du Son AND a steam cleaner. Without the steam cleaning, L'Art du Son was the best of the cleaning fluids I used however when I mixed up a litre batch and kept it for future use, after 6 months there was murky black fungus wafting... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Raul, whilst I may query your selection of turntables and arms on occasion, I must tell you how right you are about the utilisation of two subwoofers over one.For 10 years I had a single REL Stadium II subwoofer integrated in my system and was qui...

Volleyguy, I had a Kebschull valve pre-amp immediately before the Halcro, with a Perraux 1850 power amp. A Rega Planar 3 with Hadcock GH228 Unipivot arm had been my analogue source since 1979. The speakers have been with me for 30 years albeit now...

Glad to hear your VSF Duelund caps are coming on song Volleyguy. Stick with them, I don't think you'll find anything so transparent and grainless.....and that's as much as you can ask of a cap? Click onto my system and see if you have any questions?

The large capacitor is 44uF whilst the smaller one is 5.6uF.The drive unit pictured is a 5 1/4" Scanspeak Mid/Woofer which the 44uF crosses to at 950Hz whilst the Tweeter crosses at 4750Hz.I could have bought the Cast capacitors instead of the VSF...

Review: ZYX Atmos X-SB (low output) Cartridge
A great review Paul and Doug. Having a Universe myself, I can immediately 'place' the characteristics of the Atmos simply from your excellent descriptions and comparisons. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Our home system: How good it is?
I suggest you read the link included by Shadorne which shows you the behaviour of low frequency sound. http://www.ethanwiner.com/acoustics.html#rfzThen you might like to complete a course in Acoustics, Building Science and Construction Techniques.... 
Our home system: How good it is?
Shadorne, I'm happy to agree to differ as I respect most of the views you regularly post and in audio, what works for one often doesn't for another.It's when you unequivicably state a position which you claim is FACT to other readers, which I beli... 
Our home system: How good it is?
