| Any opinions on Record Doctor VI? The RD, Humming Bird , Spin Dr., GooveWasher are all surface cleaners. The only way to deep clean is with a UC. A lot of these surface cleaners just push the debris deeper into grooves. And while the record looks nice and shiny it plays with the l... | |
| Any opinions on Record Doctor VI? Seems over priced to me for a record vac. I made my own Record Vac by using a $50 shop vac,Vinyl Vac wand, lazy Susan , old platter for all around $100. For another $100 I got the Vevor UC. I only use distilled (actually RO) water in my UC. Stopp... | |
| Your turntable history First table was a GE Wildcat I got for Xmas. First one I bought was a used Dual 601 w/ Shure V15 in 1976. Was stolen in 1979 and replaced with Dual 1258 girlfriend bought me that Xmas. Used that until 2017. Listened to CDs mainly from 95 on. Nev... | |
| What is the best sounding vinyl? M.C.A. Super Saver Series. Better vinyl than original and made with a lot of same pieces when pressing. So same quality mastering with better vinyl. I have several and can't believe how nice they still play. Yes I did buy some dogs as well. But f... | |

| Phono pre amp Duok T4 Tube mm preamp. Inexpensive yet sounds nice. Good for something temporary. | |
| Best way to spend my money Maybe a new rack that will hold your TT. 15' RCA run seems long for TT. | |
| Infinity Kappa 8..amp? Late to game but I use a Parasound A 21 to drive my Kappa 8's and a Parasound A 23 to drive my 7's. Very Happy! | |
| Footers under new speakers Tekon sells footers for $20.00. Remember every dollar saved can go to new vinyl. | |
| Need a solid surge protector that’s non-current limiting. I use a Panamax. I think I got off Amazon. | |
| Can an audio rack be that important? As a long time stereo builder (1975) and PC builder (1995) I would highly recommend against ever putting equipment on the floor. That's where all the dust, dirt, bugs, and water will congregate. Also limited air flow. I was taught 16" minimum , th... | |
| Sharing SACDs I would never condone any "illegal" activities, but if one wanted to rip a "back up" copy of a SACD what would be a good piece of software? | |
| Center Channel Dialogue Same problem with old Infinity Video one, wife had trouble with dialog. Just upgrade to a Kilpsh KCF C-5. Wife loves it. I am not a big fan of horns but in this case the horn tweeter works great for vocals. And the C-5 must be pretty damn efficien... | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me Music Hall Black Mojo. |
