| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! Streaming. There's always one. | |
| Analog invites you to turn up the volume When it came in printed format, I used to read UHF Magazine (originally Hi-Fi Sound), a Montreal-based journal. The editor had a bee in his bonnet about the idea that if you constantly felt the need to turn up the volume there was something less t... | |
| What is the first thing you do when you unwrap a new vinyl record? You won't regret it, though many of us use a vacuum machine of some sort before the U/S. But anything is better than nothing when it comes to cleaning records. | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! @antinn Fascinating! I hadn't known of the Helios before, but found it on the SS special order page, where it is shown in the old-style body. I know of someone who has asked Peter if he would make a high-output Hyperion, and it seems he already do... | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! @antinn Heliios [sic]? Have you moved on from the Sussurro Gold? | |
| Looking for a new phon cartridge A Soundsmith 'The Voice' fits nicely in your budget. | |

| What is the first thing you do when you unwrap a new vinyl record? Cleaned, placed in a new inner sleeve, then carried off to the turntable. Latest was Rick Wakeman's 2014 re-recording of JTTCOTE. | |
| Humminguru record cleaner It seems paradoxical to buy an ultrasonic cleaner to play your LPs one last time, but given that you are digitising them it does make sense, and it can be sold on once you are done. I take it the Sugarcube does not remove all surface noise and th... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine ~ Ultrasonic vs. Rest BTW, @lalitk , do you know of the connection between Loricraft and Garrard (apart from current ownership)? Terry O'Sullivan founded Loricraft Audio to manufacture plinths for Garrards, but later bought Percy Wilson's designs for a point-source va... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine ~ Ultrasonic vs. Rest It's a question of how clean, isn't it? I use a cleaning solution with surfactant on the Loricraft, followed by a DW rinse. Then the Degritter with just DW, relying on cavitation for any further cleaning. Since Degritter recommends changing water ... | |
| Tom Evans Phono Preamp Repair The original repair video, now removed from YouTube, has been archived: https://archive.org/details/the-gbp-25-000-pre-amp-that-went-wrong-tom-evans-mastergroove-sr-mk-iii-rjbp-fsfzi-i | |
| Record Cleaning Machine ~ Ultrasonic vs. Rest I'd say the Degritter provides the icing on the cake, with a Loricraft getting things nearly fully clean. If one of them fails (and we know which is more likely to—I've had the Loricraft for 12 years and I have worked it hard, whereas U/S machines... | |
| Phono preamp or SUT for low output moving coil There is a direct mathematical correlation, in fact. And the more voltage gain afforded by a SUT, the lower the impedance seen by the cartridge, which will be the input impedance of the phono stage (usually 47K ohms) divided by the square of the ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @lewm If you find that: Upgrading the capacitors in the RIAA filter and the output coupling capacitors does wonders for the sound. I am surprised that: I am in general not a fan of tube rolling at all. It seems to me that if a better capac... |
