| Do you think LP needs break-in to sound its best? Exactly what I expected:***crickets***Please don't perpetuate myths. | |
| Do you think LP needs break-in to sound its best? 05-08-13: BrfMold release is applied to album stampers to prevent the vinyl from sticking to the stamper. Some of the mold release will be transferred to the new album; therefore, new albums should be cleaned prior to play. What you are hearing is... | |
| phono pre suggestions Find a GAS Thaedra or Thoebe @ auction, then send it to Mike Bettinger at gasaudio.net for upgrades. You won't be disappointed. | |
| White Substance on Aja 30th Anniversary Also possible is residue of the release agent used in pressing the record. A silicone based product will turn white when emulsified with water and after drying what you might see.^^^^^^^SOOOO tired of hearing about "release agents". Never was any,... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame He was more of a Clint Eastwood type, as memory serves. | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Pubul, I actually got to meet him at the 1984 CES, and heard his Eagle 7a/Electro Research/strain gage set up. From what I heard that day, this guy was in a league of his own. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Sizemore - The Ampzillas varied a bit. The original was basically an updated Dynaco 400, both having been designed by James Bongiorno. I have the last version, the GAS 500 which was designed by Andrew Hefly. I would put this 30 year old beast up a... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame John G. Iverson, without question. The only high-end designer to be kidnapped (and subsequently disappeared for good) by the FBI!! So the story goes. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? There were 23 Godzillas produced. Some were class A, some class A/B. I had S/N 19, which was the A/B version. 350 wpc into 8 Ohms and 1000 wpc into 2 Ohms! These were dual-mono, 1 chassis amps, and each channel was bridged; slew rate of 600 volts/... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? You will LOVE the Grandson. Sounds best pushed hard (can handle 1 ohm!). I owned a Godzilla at one time... took it to the 1984 CES to a/b it against John Iverson's Eagle 7a. The Eagle won, hands down. Fantastic amp. Godzilla's designer has never b... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? My GAS500 Ampzilla, because I got it from it's designer, and even at 30 years it is unsurpassed in every regard. | |
| Picture discs - Collectors items? The best sounding vinyl is clear - colorants add to the noise floor. I have a PD of Tubular Bells that after 20 years of playing is as noise-free as a CD. | |
| New Re-Issue Vinyl: Surface Noise, Ticks, Pops.... I was the original Quality Manager at RTI, from when they started in 1973 until I left in 1986. Yes there are other domestic pressing plants still operating. RTI had a much better rep when I was there, but then again I took the time to make certai... | |
| vintage turntables? I agree with Mapman 'bout the Philips 312. I picked one up off ebay last Christmas for $80.00. Absolutely mint, sounds incredibly good. And it LOOKS like a tt should, IMO. | |
| A Newbie's First Week Impressions -- Vinyl Rules Agree with the "mold release" myth previously mentioned. I used make LP's. Take it from someone who knows, it is a fallacy. Please - just drop it once and for all. |
