| Why pay so much for super high end? Douglas, I resent this. I didn't come to a technology site to defend science. | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? MB, I have to say it again, twice in the same thread. "Seldom have I heard of a more logical, compelling solution". I salute you. | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? davt, seldom have I heard of a more logical, compelling solution to a serious problem. I salute you. | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? mbl, you state, "if you have an instrument play live ..."I think that’s the point of difference, mbl. I don’t often listen to a single instrument or any other small source of music; usually it’s a group of musicians who can be playing substantial ... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? No argument from me, DL. I am suggesting that top notch 6 channel is better than top notch 2 channel, and by that I mean the same electronics driving the same speakers. | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? Well mbl, I don't have a performance in my music room, ever. Even a string quartet with continuo would be a little tight.With my system, I try to simulate a concert, with the listener (me) positioned in the middle of the dress circle. That means p... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Moon, when I first started using US, I found that noise always diminished compared to VPI 16.5, so now I clean everything with US to protect my stylus. That said, some records are just intolerably noisy, although a mono cartridge can help with mon... | |
| May I Please Hear Your Quad 57s or Open Baffles? My opinion - an octave top and bottom, considerable clarity, but no, repeat no, loss of musicality. But YYMD, depends on what you listen to. | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? @bigkidz I absolutely agree with you about components. Every cap has a sonic signature, and so does every resistor. Active devices more so. Building the best is an expensive proposition, and few people have ever heard an amp, say, with all VAR res... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? MB, the only place I have heard multichannel done right is in my system. That's not bragging, because it's quite easy to do, and I'll tell you how.Begin with a good two channel system, like ESL's. Double the Left and Right speakers, mounting them ... | |
| May I Please Hear Your Quad 57s or Open Baffles? Sorry to diverge, but have you considered Quad 2912? I have pairs of 2905's, and with some modification, they can sound very transparent indeed. Have you auditioned the big new Quads, Whart? | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback The DIY thread has a graph of US effectiveness on particle size vs frequency. IIRC, because particle size is limited by the size of record grooves, 40 KHz is a few percent better for the largest particles, but far worse for the smallest. The small... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Yeah Oilman, I feel your pain. I washed a few records in LA with tap water, and no matter what I did, they were a dead loss until I cleaned them with US in 2013. Now they are pristine, stone cold mint renditions of great performances! | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Rushton, I am using a FisherBrand model 11203, which is a rebranded Elmasonic P60H. Even the color scheme and the manuals are identical. I have a sentimental attachment to Fisher Scientific, that's all. Also, as a scientific supply company, Fisher... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback About warpage, I try to cool the record uniformly and quickly by rapid immersion in cool water. This may also play a part in my good (for the most part) fortune. |
