| Cannister VAC DIY Record cleaning...? Thanks, Dan_ed. I'm presently using the Audio Intelligent Two step cleaner with Record Doctor brushes, and then drying the LPs with a lint free cloth. Using a carbon dry brush before each play, and using an "old school" Disc Washer stylus brush be... | |
| Tube amps and iPods ...it logically follows that the source should always be the best component. Sounds like Tvad is a true "Linnie" like myself.Markphd (Answers)If that's the definition of a Linnie, then I am one, yes. | |
| Tube amps and iPods No troll. An opinion. Using a mid-fi source like an iPod with a tube amp, which presumes that using a tube amp will transform the playback quality of an iPod into something better...or higher fidelity, seems like an oxymoron to me. The same goes f... | |
| Tube amps and iPods I don't see the point. iPods are the antithesis of high end audio. | |
| Five "Golden Rules" of HiFi? 1. Set a goal by listening to other systems. 2. Find one or two seasoned audiophiles whose opinions you trust, and then seek their advice. 3. Listen before you buy. 4. Trust your own ears. 5. Only buy new what absolutely cannot be found used. | |

| New Vinyl Setup Dougdeacon, $5k is not an option for me, nor is losing "only" $1k upon resale. I suspect it's not an option for a few others reading this thread as well.I appreciate the lower cost options that have been offered thus far. | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. 04-11-07: GregaddTvad- I will remain in the same neighborhood. I wil however buy a new house and furniture. My Moscode 401hr has also foud a new home)-:(Very sorry to hear that, Greg. Best of luck to you. | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. Greg, shall we assume your new listing for your turntable and tonearm indicates you have answered your question, and the answer for you is, "No"? | |
| Is vinyl still a "perfect" source? Larryi, your last paragraph echoes my sentiments exactly...including the statement about intrusive noise during quiet passages of classical music. Personally, I cannot go back to listening to classical music on vinyl. My vinyl listening is restric... | |
| New Vinyl Setup Dan_ed, thanks for the suggestions. I have read other good comments about the Basis 1400. It looks very basic...no pun intended. What makes this table better than others at the price point? | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. Pauly, your comments are insulting. Absolutely, unquestionably and undeniably insulting. To suggest that anyone not willing to commit to analog music reproduction cannot be truly passionate about music is completely without merit.What a disgusting... | |
| New Vinyl Setup there are advantages for buying a little higher up the food chain than the normal suggestions for starter tables. (No, I'm not in the audio business.) Obviously, if you go here you should be committed to this undertaking prior to making such a pur... | |
