| Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put? Is your phono pre built into the KW500? The best bang for your money would be a good tubed phono preamp. | |
| Random Static Hits Moonguy, do you have a humidifier? I just bought a bigger one the other day and so far so good. | |
| Random Static Hits Thanks for the suggestion. GG makes me nervous given all the money and time I spend keeping the LPs clean. Isn't there some degrading of sound? I've done a seach and there's a lot of controversy about GG. | |
| Interesting analog experience The value of analog v digital isn't measured in 20 minute increments. There's no reason why someone can't enjoy digital more than analog for a particular song, record, group of records. It's really about the long term listening experience. You cou... | |
| Random Static Hits As soon as I pressed send on this post, the pops returned. I want to hang myself. | |
| Random Static Hits Furutech arrived. Static gone. I guess you get what you pay for. Even my A23 mat, which has been wavy with static is lying flat. Amazing. | |
| Harbeth sound with high wife acceptance factor? Interesting because I just bought C7s because my wife liked the looks so much better than the SF Cremona Auditor. I was fine with it because the C7s are so much easier to drive. I put mine on Foundation stands and I move them in and out of the lis... | |
| Random Static Hits Hmm. Still not completely gone. Maybe it's time for the Furutech. Seems like the humidifier is what helps the most. If I leave it on all day, evening listening is static free. By the morning, the static has returned since I can't keep it on overni... | |
| Random Static Hits Zerostat here. It works, although some LPs the static returns by the final groove... but a major improvement. I'm sure as I perfect my technique, things will get better. That and a good rain. So Cal has been glorious every day this month but it's ... | |
| Random Static Hits Zerostat comes today. I've also tried cleaning every record before I play it on my Loricraft PRC3. The first song is usually fine but by the end of the LP, it's pop city again. | |
| Joule-Electra. Is it still in businessd? I've had both experiences. I couldn't get an answer from them a couple of times then I sent them an email saying I was going to sell my equipment if I couldn't get service and he responded immediately and very helpfully. It's weird. | |
| Random Static Hits Well, walking by the humidifier works sometimes. Other times, not so much. I've ordered a Zerostat. Will report back. This really sucks. I might have to go the Gruv Glide route if all else fails. | |
| What would give the best overall improvement I think $1000 is a little low for you to really hear much difference. If you can swing a bit more, I'd buy a Lyra Delos. That would be a huge upgrade. I've done that upgrade myself and been really happen with the purchase. The P75 sounds great wit... | |
| Random Static Hits I got the ultrasonic humidifier and it hasn't directly worked so my solution is to walk by the humidifier with the record and that works perfectly! | |
| Buying Suggestion Also think about Audience ClairAudient 2+2s. They run nicely with 25W and are wonderful speakers. |
