| Milty Zerostat - Questions Have you cleaned your LP's? I find that the vast majority of crakles/pops go away after a good cleaning. This goes for new LP's too.After Zerostat treatment, I find that dust does not adhere to LP and anti-static brush will lift dust off easy. | |
| Milty Zerostat - Questions I use the Zerostat the following way. LP NOT spinning. About 4-5" above LP, Slowly squeeze & release trigger on 2-3 different spots on LP. Then used anti-static brush. Seemed to work pretty well. | |

| CD and SACD player under $500 You may want to look at a used Marantz DV Series player. I went from a Sony 222ES to a Marantz DV7001. Major improvment all around. I have also heard the DV8400, which is also a very nice player. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Naim CD5x, Marantz DV7001 (for SACD) and Squeezebox Duet with Cambridge DacMagic.Nothing compares to vinyl through my Basis 1400/Encounter MkIII/Ortofon Kontrapunkt b. | |
| Dolby True HD vs. DTS HD To me, DTS-HD is a little more dynamic than Dolby True HD. But overall very close.As stated above, Night & Day difference between the older bitstream DD & DTS and the newer lossless formats. Sound was a big factor to me when going to Blu-ray. | |
| Signal Cable Spade Question When I had an MC252, I found that banana plugs were much easier to use. The binding posts were a big PITA on that amp. | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? Steve Hackett (Genesis) Firth of Fifth. From Selling England By The Pound. | |
| Has anyone used Mikrosmooth CD polish? I have used it on rare occasions if a CD has a scratch or skips. Seems to work if the scratches aren't too deep. | |
| Subwoofer into Naim Nait 5i with no pre-out...... "Tape Out" is full output. Does not go through volume control. Volume cannot be adjusted. Do not use Tape Out. | |
| Whats the most you paid? A friend of mine has spent up to $500 per LP for the so-called Hot Stampers from Better Records.These are just used records that have been "listened to" critically and are deemed the "BEST".Crazy world out there. | |
