Homemade Record Cleaning Fluids??
search the archives here,audioasylum and a Google web search for "cleaning solution" or "record cleaning" and you with discover many answers 
Good Quality Distilled Water???
I don't think Sol missed the point. He is saying the whole issue of double tripple quadrupple ionization is a lot of marketing BS whether or no actual use of RRL fluids meats user expectations. 
Herman eats crow, RRL record cleaning fluids work
Doug, I have purchased RRL cleaner several times and as I indicated, I thought it worked great but not any better than my home brew which just uses a barely measuable amount of photoflow in a gallon of ditilled water per several recipies that can ... 
Source & specs for LP poly outer bags
I've heard the 5ml bgs greatly improve bass resolution compared to the 3ml ... but be sure to adjust VTA for the extra 2ml when you play a record that has been stored in a 5ml bag. 
Acrylic Source for TT mod?
In my experience most glass stores also carry acrylic. I have purchased it there several times for various projects. They also cut and bent acrylic to my specs for a price.

Sean, 4yanx, Can you provide us with the specific citation from Kodak stating that it is detrimental to vinyl?Thanks 
Herman eats crow, RRL record cleaning fluids work
I've tried RRL cleaning fluid and I must agree with many previous posters on this site that it worked GREAT. On the other hand so did my "homebrew" with distilled water and a touch of detergent and photoflow. I must agree with Lugnut that there is... 
VPI Scout or Michell Technodec?
Crazy... I have the Gyro SE with Shelter 501 - which I believe is .4mV not .3mV. I any case, it has plenty of gain with my Plimius M14 phonostage (60dB gain for MC) and Lamm LL2 preamp. Another tweak I tried with the gyro is to use very stiff spri... 
cleaning vinyl. which cleaning fluid to use.
I have used both Record Research and my own homebrew with good results. The RR cleaner did seem to bead up more on the record compared to my cleaner which had less surface tension but both produced good results (with a good record vac). Given that... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Ok you're right Artar1, it was not a review just the most detailed (but eloquent) description of a sound never heard that I have ever seen. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Well this is rich. Now Audiogoners are giving reviews talking about the subtle differences in sound between preamps they have never heard because of "vicarious experiences" they have had as a result of reading this thread!!! 
Lamm ll2 preamp + Plinius sa 102 amp = matching?
Sorry I can't offer any direct experience as I am also considering the Plinius sa102 and looking for a good pre-amp combo. I have the Plinius M14 phono stage and love its bass slam with my Shelter 501 MC cartridge.If you check the threads and virt... 
Optimal Loading for Shelter 501 mk2
It's on the data sheet they provided with the cartridge.It says,Recommended load impedance: step-up trans within 20 ohms head amplifier within 100 ohm high gain EQ-amplifier within 47k ohmI am using a high gain amplifier whereas Doug uses the Bent... 
Optimal Loading for Shelter 501 mk2
For what it's worth, I use a Shelter 501 Mk2 into a Plinius M14 phono stage which has adjustable loading "on the fly" with a knob on the front. You can select, 47K, 1K, 470, 100, 47 or 22. To my ear 47K is the best with the sound becoming consiste... 
Won't preamps become obsolete?
Oh come on Vvrinc, I mean, I'm a big vinyl fan and have listened to almost nothing but since returning to it 6 months ago (just bought a Plinius M14 phono stage here on A'gon). My kids think my turntable is cool too but they are still downloading ...
