| Check this out There is lots of information on the internet on the dimensional stability of wood. Here is one quote from http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/waac/wn/wn06/wn06-2/wn06-201.html"There is no known coating which adheres to wood and is also completely imper... | |
| Check this out I would agree with several others above who have expressed their scepticism about the stability of a wood base over time. Wood is notoriously uneven in density and swells and shrinks tremendously with changes in humidity. In the Northeast, the ave... | |
| goodbye to vinyl. . . . grr ------ longish rant I completely agree with you Laz... vinyl is great but it's a moot point if there isn't much good software out there. I too have purchased records only to find, upon much closer inspection of the liner notes, that they are just remasters from the d... | |
| New to vinyl, which turntable, etc? It sounds from the posts on Audiogon that the West Coast is a better place than East to purchase used vinyl. I purchase most of mine through GEMM. They have dealers from all over the world but I have noticed that many of the things I have purchase... | |
| New to vinyl, which turntable, etc? DekayI agree that if you can find the good LP's they are great. Unfortunately, in my experience, most people had crummy systems that did serious harm to the LP's I have purchased many a used LP that looked pristine to the eye only to find upon pla... | |
| New to vinyl, which turntable, etc? Before you jump in, give some thought to the availablity of software (i.e. LP's) Do you already have a collection or were you planning on building one? I have recently re-entered the vinyl world starting with only about 50 albums I had frommy coll... | |
| Is this the best analog has to offer? OK I guess I will be getting a threaded VTA adjuster. For the price of a threaded piece of metal, what the heck - it's worth a try. I'lllet you know what it does.On the subject of interconnects. Can anyone suggest what would be a reasonable approp... | |
| Is this the best analog has to offer? Thanks for all you responses. Let me provide some additional info in response to some questions. First: My interconnects are 1.5M audioquest Ruby - same as I use with the CD player which is a California Audiolabs Icon MK2 with HDCD. Second, I must... | |

Click on the discussion entitled "cleaning records" which comes up. You will see my post as the last one (JYPrez) to this discussion. This ap... | |
| What do I need to effectively clean my records Search the archives for "cleaning records" and see my post (JYPrez) for a cheapo home-made record cleaning machine that will "suck-up" a VPI's for lunch. | |
| Getting into analog is tough.... I recently took the plunge back into analog and I agree it is very difficult to do. It took me about 6 months to purchase all the components of my analog front end which now consists of:Michell Gyro SE MkII TurntableOrigin Live Silver armShelter 5... | |
| Cleaning Records Save your money for buying records. Here's my cheap-o method that works wonders on my old records. I got a crevice tool formy sho vac and plugged up the end with a bit of wood, then cut a slot about record width on one wide side using a roto-tool.... | |
| Cleaning Records 4yanx ... excellent post on cleaning. If you ever decide to sell some of those well cleaned, used records let me know. BTW what do you listen to (Jazz, Classical, Rock?) I am planning on building my own record vac using my shop vac and some of you... | |
| Has audiophilia changed your music taste? I think audiophiles care a great deal about "sound" but often very little about "music". If they did they wouldn't be nearly as fanatical about equipment. Many big recording artists have very modest audio systems. | |
| Dimensions on Michell armboard for Rega Thanks guys for the info. I have a woodworking and small metal shop and machine many types of jigs and small parts out of acrylic, wood and metal - so I figured this would be a piece of cake. I will also try some mahogany and cocobolo I have left ... |
