| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Some observations from using Paul's formula on about a dozen records:First, A/B comparison of cleaning formulas is clearly inherently difficult - you can't ever make it dirty again and try the other cleaner. Using one cleaner on one side and anoth... | |

| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Do you recommend a carbon fibre brush? If so, which? They all seem to be intended for dry brushing. | |
| Speakers to replace B&W N804s ????? Check out the Audio Physic Virgo's. With the woofer on the side, they present a very narrow face to the listener so appear smaller than what they sound like. I myself am a B&W fan having just traded up from B&W Matrix 804 to Nautilus 803. | |
| Sennheiser HD590 on an airline flight? I have the Sennheiser HD580's and do a lot of business travel where I have tried using these. Since a jet makes so much noise, if I turn it up to the point where my neighbor can hear, it is probably too loud for my own hearing. I am looking at swi... | |
| Maximum VISUAL bang for the buck? Check out the Michell Gyro SE for a TT (http://www.michell-engineering.co.uk/pic/tur/michell_gyrose.jpg) that definitely has the OOOH visualy factor and can be had used for around $1000 which is a fantastic price for the sound quality and can be u... | |
| VPI Scout ...with Shelter 301 or Grado Sonata?? 301? Do you mean the 501 mkII? If I could buy that for the same price as the Grado, I wouldn't hesitate. They are veery different carts. The Grado is a low output MM and the Shelter is a medium output MC. I don't know what phono stage the Berning ... | |
| Home brew cleaning solution OK, sorry guy's I guess I missed this, why exactly is it good that RRL fluid beads up when intuitively everything would suggest that reduced surface tension is the goal. (that is, after all, the point of using things like photoflo) Is this "Voodoo... | |
| Home brew cleaning solution I have been doing A/B comparisons of RRL with my homebrew (distilled water with about 10% isopropyl and a few drops of detergent - no photoflow in the last batch). I must say that after 50 or more cleanings I don't hear any significant difference.... | |
| Living with popping and crackling 4yanx, Miles Davis is a great way to demonstate the virtues of vinyl. I always found his muted trumpet to sound harsh on even so-call audiophile cd's. I only heard Miles once on SACD when I demoed it at Sound by Singer in NY. I listened to Sketche... | |
| Living with popping and crackling As a new re-entrant to the vinyl realm, I have purchased some 500+ LP's over the past 2 years, mostly used Ebay and private collection jazz from the 50's thru 70's and some early 80's reissues (never go beyond 84 unless your sure it wasn't digital... | |
| What other speakers would you consider for this .. Hmm ... the Green Mountain Continuums look interesting but I don't think they will meet the WAF criteria. | |
| Acrylic Source for TT mod? You really don't need a CNC machine to make a round platter. A lathe or bandsaw will do the job quite nicely. I prefer the bandsaw. Just cut the spindle hole on a drill press then use it as a pivot point to rotate the acrylic through the bandsaw b... | |
| What other speakers would you consider for this .. Thanks for the responses so far. On the question of my listening and sonic preferences ... I listen almost exclusively to jazz, large and small combo and blues. I like a system which is quite detailed and dynamic wth lots of soundstage. I found, f... | |
| What other speakers would you consider for this .. Good question ... I forgot to add that I would spend max $8000 new retail (which would be 4-5K used). This is, I think the appropriate range to the other components. |
