| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Skypunk, thanks for the link and review of the ultrasonic cleaner you found. I had just added building an ultrasonic record cleaner to my do list for 2021. Instead, I went ahead a minute ago and purchased the one you provided a link to. Great pric... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Deutschland.. Their trains run on time too. | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? It seems to me that things have been much more pleasant around here lately. Also I didn’t notice any audiophiles in that crowd visiting the Capitol Building last week. Spotted a few attitudes there.Mike. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Erykah Badu’s "Baduizm". Just got it yesterday and was impressed, not having heard it before. Mike | |

| Does Age Matter? 68 years old for another few weeks. I’m getting to prefer CD’s due to convenience, availability at reasonable cost, and the great sound of many jazz reissues and remasters. I’ve been wondering too how much being acclimated to the sound of vinyl pl... | |
| VPI Classic Setup By Brian Walsh Well slaw you're correct, no matter who wrote them, there's nothing in the manual for the VPI Classic 2 addressing the loop. But thanks to you I am pleased to report there is now a perfect, aesthetically pleasing loop adorning mine. Not only that,... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? Not having caught any previous iterations of this topic, this has an interesting and educational thread. Thank you for starting it mkgus. I’ve learned a lot about what comprises the differences between the two formats, and even a bit about streami... | |

| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... Phase Linear when Carver was still early in his career. Great gadgetry such as the Autocorrelator for noise reduction, peak unlimiter, and lots of power in his amps. My entry ticket to hi-fidelity as a young-un. My younger sister started off with ... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? Both mediums have their up and down sides. I've largely switched over to Redbook CD's due to several factors, even though to my ears vinyl sounds more natural. 1) The pops, clicks and and other surface noises of vinyl are too distracting and appea... | |
| VPI Classic Setup By Brian Walsh Mine is more like an "S" curve at present. I'll smooth it out to be a half circle. Hadn't heard of doing that before. I don't remember that in VPI's set-up directions, but I'll have to check to see if it is something I might have overlooked. Is re... | |
| VPI Classic Setup By Brian Walsh Slaw, how is the "loop" supposed to be dressed? I’ve no idea how it should be on my Classic 2's unipivot arm and would like to correct it if it’s improperlyly done. Thanks.Mike | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. Another vote for Luxman, at least their amps. If you are into vintage equipment, Bang and Olufsen years ago made a beautifully designed turntable. Their Beogram 4002 model was on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in their Archit... | |
| The problem with Magicos Why not try to experimentally validate Kenjit’s idea instead of dismissing it out of hand. After reading the above I was curious, so went ahead and took a two inch diameter hole saw and cut an opening into the back of my left Magico A3 speaker. As... |
