| Contact Line stylus - gathering dust on stylus. Help! Well, I've used the moon gel on multiple carts with no problem at all. Perhaps the combo of the stylus shape and any residue left from the gel is making the dust problem worse than with other stylus types.. My guess is that I need a better recor... | |
| Contact Line stylus - gathering dust on stylus. Help! Moongel is sold as a stylus cleaner and discussed on sites like Analog Planet. just one example. http://www.heartofwoodstock.com/product/SC1 | |
| Contact Line stylus - gathering dust on stylus. Help! Thanks for all of the suggestions! I'll spend some time this weekend experimenting and researching cleaning methods to see if I can make some headway on the problem. Will report back.Cheers,Scott | |
| Contact Line stylus - gathering dust on stylus. Help! I do use a zero stat. To make the problem doubly frustrating, this stylus not only gathers more dust than any other I've used, but even the tiniest amount of dust makes the sound distort. With other carts I'll sometimes get to the end of a recor... | |
| Contact Line stylus - gathering dust on stylus. Help! Thanks for the responses. To answer your questions, Larry: the music suddenly becomes very distorted and muffled when dust gathers on the stylus, so it's not even listenable if I don't clean it.I use a Record Doctor vacuum cleaner. I put cleani... | |
| review iPhono 2 @bacobits1 glad to hear that the Booster is working well off the bat. How's it sounding now? @audiofun Do you find that the LPS helps the sound of the iTube2 as well? I am finding that I prefer the iPhono without the iTube2, as it is clearer an... | |
| review iPhono 2 The only slight drawback I've come across is the MM gain of 36 or 48db. I find that a traditional 40-42db is ideal in my system. 48 can be a bit much on some of the most dynamic music while 36 leans just so slightly to the soft side because I'm ... | |
| review iPhono 2 Just dropped the SBooster into my rig a few minutes ago, and the difference is immediately apparent. Instruments sound more real, bass has more impact, and there is a whole layer of electronic haze that's gone. Really a huge improvement.With the... | |
| review iPhono 2 SBooster is sold through Acoustic Sounds and HiFi Heaven, just to name a couple of U.S. Distributors. Amazon has them, too, but the 15V is out of stock through them. Scott | |
| review iPhono 2 @audiofun thanks for the explanation. I'm going to give the SBooster (https://www.sbooster.com/botw-pp-eco-15v-16v/) a try. Will let you know how it turns out. Right now I'm just using the iPhono2 while I let the iTube2 burn in w/my CD player, ... | |
| review iPhono 2 @audiofun How did the unit improve when you added the LPS? Just curious, 'cause I can't imagine it getting much better :) | |

| review iPhono 2 I'm the fellow whose mind was #$%#$ blown! I purchased the iPhono2 as a back up (as I've been auditioning phono stages and wanted a solid baseline and something to use in between auditions) and out of curiosity as I'd read Audiofun's review of th... | |
| Conrad Johnson Et3? Anybody Have? Jeff,. There is a review on hometheaterhifi.com that is fairly negative due to overemphasized high frequencies and brightness. This is atypical for CJ gear, but you may be picking up on the same thing.Scott | |
| Anticables: Scam? For what it's worth, I have been extremely impressed by their power cables (Level 3). They have outperformed more expensive cables in my system, and it wasn't close. Haven't tried any of their other cables, but in my rig the power cables are exc... |
