| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Agreed. Pretty clever, Spencer! If I didn't have a 16.5, I'd be blatantly copying your system for myself. :) | |
| Quack System Upgrades @astro58go Go back and re-read my post. It was directed to gdhal where I simply quoted his response to you (for context). | |
| Quack System Upgrades @gdhal @astro58go, yes, I do not believe in cable burn-in based on listening. Have you ever listened to a cable, new or old, that's spent a couple days on a cable cooker, like an Audiodharma? To each his own, and I'm not suggesting that what yo... | |
| Quack System Upgrades @crazyeddy OK, Geoff, I checked out the Silver Rainbow Foil. This must work for sure, but I need instructions (which are not given) on where to apply to all my prized Audiophile 8 tracks !!!!Apply it directly over the top of the tape head in the... | |
| Burn in time for a new CD transport? Agree with Stereo5. I bought the CXC about 9 months ago, and although I initially let it play on repeat for about 8 hours before first listening to it, I have not noticed any change thereafter. A Synergistic black fuse and some Herbies Big Baby ... | |
| Your opinions on how to string 25 ft speaker cables I'm running a similar setup with similar cable, except with 2 less cables: basically two 24' runs of 12 gauge AntiCables under the floor. Speakers have only one set of binding posts, so this is just a true "double-run" of cable. I went to the e... | |
| Apogee Scintilla Value? What got me into this, um, hobby many moons ago was sitting in front of a pair of Apogee Divas that made an instant addict out of me. I'd heard many "stereos" before -- some quite good -- but nothing like this, and bought a pair of Duettas before... | |
| Lemon HiFi-Tuning Fuse? Even "non-audiophile" fuses give up sometimes after a period of use. I've had Buss and Littelfuses pop for no apparent reason. Replaced them, and things were fine forever after. I certainly wouldn't worry about it so long as a replacement fuse ... | |
| Newbie question concerning connections @ johnmark101You are correct about where the D/A conversion process takes place depending on the connection. However, as it's unlikely anyone has the exact same components and system, any advice on which sounds better would be nothing more than c... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise @xyobgyn And I'm always fascinated by those that have no experience with the topic at hand jumping in with nothing to offer beyond a dismissal. | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise I built his DIY version of that cord using the twisted pair wire he sells and trying both Furutech F1-11 gold and bare copper connectors. Very nice cord with either connector, but the gold plated Furus were just a little too polite in my applicat... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise @davidclarke: Good grief. Thought I'd time-warped back to the 1990's with the "100 feet of Romex" argument. Give it a rest. @narcissus: I've tried quite a number of different DIY recipes with differing connectors, wire, and designs. My tr... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @sbank A submersible pump may not be the best option, as you'll constantly be putting it in the tank and pulling it out which will get rather messy and probably become a hassle. Just my opinion, but the pump type that Rushton recommended above wo... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback I'm using the elegant and highly engineered dustcover from my Nottingham 'table, which consists of a grooveless LP with a Nott' logo on it :) Place that on the VPI platter with the wet side of the just cleaned record on it, and remove it when I ... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @cedar Thanks for sharing your experience! I've looked at the Vibrato tanks, and while much more expensive than the generic 40kHz machines like mine, they look to be designed and constructed at a significantly higher level. And for an 80kHz mach... |
