| Ultrasonic cleaning I use both a Loricraft and a Degritter. If I had to keep only one, it would be the former, as I think by itself it does more than the Degritter by itself. Together, I think I get the best of both worlds. | |
| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge @hce1 Watch out. You maybe know that Grado cartridges are MI, not MM, but the analog police may come for you. | |
| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge Near me, come listen, bring yours 07062 Thank you, but I'm in Nova Scotia. I send my cartridges for re-tips to a zipcode near yours, but that's as close as I get! | |
| Phono Stage, Tonearm, Cartridge Question - Which is the most important? I don't say anyone else is wrong, but there is probably a definitive answer to this.

| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Yes, I did (this was last year) and it took a couple of weeks. | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? Well I'm pretty sure some of these replies will have dissuaded the OP from posting again. Tough crowd. | |
| Old records. @puptent It's amazing how many of us do use alcohol in some form (isopropanol or ethanol) in our cleaning solutions and seem to get away with it. The 'ripples in a sandbar' appearance is something I associate with the discoloration caused by PVC o... | |
