| Contact Line stylus - gathering dust on stylus. Help! Nandric may be onto something. I’ve a theory that improper alignment can exacerbate static and that good alignment will minimise it. This means azimuth and even poor "averaging" of anti-skate could be influential. He may also have been referring t... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Mapman,In Germany a chap called Matthias has been customising Ohm speakers for some years now and he does an active version of the "5000" series (with John’s approval). In Germany, this is a good idea because their Omnidirectional market is much s... | |
| Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)? That is the purest definition of OCD, my friend.Marketing and Forums have a lot to answer for.... ;^)Substitute the words "melting and reforming" for "digging" and it doesn't seem quite so bad, even if only a half-truth... ;^) | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Bcowen, many thanks for the in-depth response. This provides clear insights into what's happening on disc. If anyone isn't sold on the concept of US cleaning they should be ;^) | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Your feedback was much appreciated, Terry. :) | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Thanks Rushton. ;^)When encountered, do you feel the damaged areas of e.g. 2nd hand LPs, are more audible, less audible or about the same nuisance value? | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Interesting thread. Hope you guys don't mind my asking the same question I asked EBM : Do you find that surface noise decreases or increases after completion of your ultrasonic cleaning regime?Many thanks :) | |
| Spin Clean seems to add noise to records? EBM said :-"You get what you pay for the KL Audio is the best by far not cheap though.I cleaned the same record on VPI 17F and the KL Audio record sounded much better...."Was it quieter or noisier after KLA? ;^)The reason I'm asking is that MF has... | |
| ...a second listen Dear Ralph,You make a good point about leeching... Here’s a mat related DIY horror story and an important caution… ;^) I recall the case of someone who decided to make a DIY mat from rubber off-cuts. The rubber was smooth on one side and diamond p... | |
| ...a second listen Could this apply to your adoption of zero anti-skate? ;^) :) | |
| ...a second listen Should you be publicly admitting this gross error in judgement? ;^)(Being a professional musician and all) :)I've never rated leather mats any more highly than felt mats (certainly when applied on a well-damped platter). | |
| Turntable Recommendation 15K budget Avid Acutus, Brinkmann, Oracle, Nottingham,, Dear Dragon_Vibe,I feel sick..... ;^) :D :DI’m not sure I’d want a top class T/T in my bedroom though.I’d never get to bed! :DBTW did you know that Vladimir Putin uses one of these (the Acutus I mean, not the bed ;^)Seriously though, congratulatio... | |
| Clamp, weight, or nothing? Dear NRenter, In my case always unclamped (in fact I always use an undamped arrangement which is not recommended for clamping). It really depends whether the listener is of damped or undamped persuasion. Not that I’m suggesting that a damped appro... | |
| Does the magnetic levitating platter make all other designs superfluous.No bearings! Well, magnetic levitation is not new but doing this minus a central main bearing probably is. My gut feeling is "East River" but I don’t want to be too premature.My main concern would be that the conventional closed mechanical loop enabling mechan... | |
| My final table , hopefully ! I know that feeling!Hope everything goes smoothly.All the best! |
