| Distilled water rinse after ultrasonic cleaning @slaw, Steve, Installing a fine filter at the suction does keep the fluid clean to the pump - but this a positive displacement pump and its uses a diaphragm to control valves to draw-in/discharge-out water and they are not as sensitive to debris a... | |
| Distilled water rinse after ultrasonic cleaning @slaw,After looking at your photos they appear to show the filters mounted on the suction side of the pump Bayite . If this is correct - If I might offer a suggestion - install the filter(s) at the pump discharge side. The filters will present a p... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @mijostyn,Your summary of CFC's is wrong. All manufacture of Class I ODS substances were banned in 1996 - and this included all applicable refrigerants and solvents. Class II ODS (HCFCs) are now banned or will be shortly. Good heavens man, I ... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @mijostyn,CFCs were banned 20+ years ago - whatever is left is with those that horded the product a long time ago; and CFC-solvents have an indefinite shelf life. So, enjoy what you have - very few people have any left. There are some laborator... | |

When I first grounded my platter spindle (VPI TNT/Classics platter), my first ground attempt was to the phono-preamp ground connection. This was not successful - record playback was sti... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 So, here is a perspective, an opinion,For these upper priced tables, there appears to be about a 3-4:1 ratio between the table the tonearm. With the SAT arm already at $50K, to market a matching table, the table has to cost $150K-$200K. Its part o... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @whart,Thanks - I did a deep dive into static a few months ago, so I was familiar with the background and the applicable sources. Based on the deep-dive, I identified a material that I am now using as a record mat along with grounding the platter... | |

| Looking for a phono stage with pleasing coloration I have the Soundsmith Paua II into a Simaudio LP5.3 with the external power supply, and as Soundsmith and others report the Paua II is a bit lush and sultry. I run the loading at 1000 ohms for a bit more high frequency detail. How is your cartri... | |

| Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT? @mcmanus,Are you sure you have a 12" arm??? A quick verification it to measure from the tonearm pivot to the end of the headshell - it should be very close to 12". The next available size from Reed Reed 3P - Reed tonearms is a 10.5" - this ar... | |
| Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT? Do you have the Reed 3P manual? If not - download here - Bedienungsanleitung-Tonarm-Reed-3P.pdf (bohne-audio.com) and follow directions accordingly.

| Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT? This is the Hanss T-30 HANSS ACOUSTICS T-30 (hanss-acoustics.com). From a casual view, your Reed 3P 12" tonearm is probably not going to fit on that turntable. Each turntable has allowable tonearm lengths that will work. Send Hanss and e-mail and ... |
