Old thread I know - but does anyone recall an interview with  @jcarr who used a cleaner on cartridge pins. Does anyone know which one he used?  
Listening impressions of two tonearm wires
@montaldo  i am even later to this thread and am very grateful for such an informative post by the op and others - I am dicing on options between Cardas (possibly Clear) or the likes of Discovery - not easy to source in the UK.   I don’t trust ... 
HEAVY Platters. Metal or Plastic? Your personal Experiences
@wturkey  @mijostyn  @pindac  Bigger and heavier doesn't necessarily mean better. Within a specific design that relies on mass to iron our speed inflections due to the pole switching on a motor then yes. Likewise that same platter can in facts ... 
TONEARM REWIREE - DUMB QUESTION

Pigskin or jico leather mat
