| Best results using what fulids with VPI or Steam cleaning is really the best way to clean a record. I just use my Nitty Gritty to vacuum off the condensed water. | |
| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? I asked that very question to Harry Weisfield of VPI and to Musical Surroundings. I have a Benz LP. Musical Surroundings said I can try but they recommnd very little if any. Harry said basically the same thing for my cratridge, but recommends damp... | |
| Raven owners - how's your mid-range? Stuff happens. I had a Superscoutmaster with the 9 inch arm into which I had installed a Benz Ebony H. The sound was absolutely gorgeous with deep subteranean effortless lows, huge sound stage with layers of depth, air, and all the good stuff. You... | |
| Move from Benz H20 to Denon DL301 You must know that the Ace comes in 3 colors and corresponding outputs. If you like the Ace call Musical Surroundings (the importer) and see if you can trade or change to an even higher quality cartridge. They have a very liberal trade up/exchange... | |
| An Audiophile Goal My goal when I listen to music is to be moved by the music. Whether the system goes from 20-20000 hz. has nothing to do with it..as long as the system can reproduce the music in a musical way. A big problem with many systems is that not the big dy... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading I am using the 499 ohm resistor in the Ayre. After checking I noticed the cartridge was a cats whisker off of the exact setting of the overhang template. I can't believe that such a small correction could improve the sound so much! | |
| Good turntables w/o record clamps Rega sounds better with no clamp | |
| VPI Super Platter I was sent some of this super grease. It comes in what looks like a hypodermic needle type of plunger package. It has VPI written on it, but it is just a label, and am sure they get it elsewhere. If there is a difference when applied, it sure wasn... | |
| How do you download your LP's to your computer? That USB table is availabe at Cosco. It looks like Matel Toy Co. made it. I personally wouldnt want to put my records on such a beast. | |
| VPI Super Platter Contact VPI. Harry has a new lubricant. It looks like petroleum jelly, but he assures me its not. It did make positive changes in my Superscoutmaster | |
| Tube Tuners I'm using a Fanfare FT1-A. I'm very happy with it. | |
| Turntable advise for an analog novice I disagree with Williwanka. If I had the worst system in the world, amy upgrade would be noticeable. The final sound out of the speakers is the sum total of the whole system. | |
| rega planar 3 cart replacement... I absolutely agree wth Jalance2069. I have an Expressimo VTA adjuster. The adjustment is infinite for the task - with the spacers you have only its setting. | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it I have an Ayre C-5xe which plays all silver discs. Let me tell you that DVD-A and/or SACD is very close to regular CD sound...sometimes not even as good. If the potential is there, I haven't found it. Vinyl overall is the best method to get the hi... | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it No Bucketjr...CD's sound very good indeed. Comparing my Ayre C5xe to my Superscoutmaster/10.5i/Benz Ebony LP, the CD sounds like there is a scrim in font of the performance. The difference is like regular tv to hi def |
