| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used I should also have noted that in the real world of physical measurements, speed is always an average. So speed can be spot in when measured over a few seconds, but nevertheless have huge variation when the average is taken over a few milliseconds.... | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used Well handyman, you say the speed is spot on because the TT is direct drive. I don’t think so.TT generate lots of noise, which means vibration, and speed variation. It is only a question of the spectrum and amplitude of noise. For example, there is... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @pryso @slaw Damned if I don't feel like Samson ... | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used I did a similar thing. I disregarded expert advice, and spent on cartridge, tonearm, and turntable, in that order. It was a mistake on so many levels.First, a TT gives you more bang for the buck. A better TT should give you less noise, less sibila... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning I think that an examination of this thread will show you a better way. IMO, US is the best way.I have a record of 60's folk music that looks terrible, grade about 'Good', but that plays NM. That said, I also have a sealed Chopin which is unlistena... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Phil, I should have mentioned that when you clean hotter, you should cool the records as uniformly as possible. That's easy by spinning in a distilled water bath. | |
| Ripped off, any ideas? Don't get down on yourself JB, we've all been there. Just chalk it up to experience - it could have been millions invested! | |
| Falling out of love with tubes I agree with Audioman. DIY forever!! | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Pleasure to help, Phil. We're all in this together!I use VersaClean at 40:1 for clean records, the minimum recommended. For garage sale records, 20:1. A gallon goes a loooong way! (guilty secret here - also works brilliantly for good wine glasses)... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @whart You are too modest, whart.As far as alcohols are concerned, the issue is 'flash point', the temperature at which a vapour ignites. Since the US machine operates on electricity, there is always the chance of a spark, hence a constant hazard.... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @slaw Thanks for your gentlemanly note. No offence taken. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning I note that lwal questioned wavelength. The calculation is easy, from the physics formula V=fl (velocity = frequency x wavelength). Since the speed of sound is 5000 feet / second in water (60,000 inches per second), the equation is 60,000 = ... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Perhaps referring to the Rushton thread? | |
