Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
Whart,I use the alcohol only about once a month and it is iso propyl not denatured. If denatured alcohol got back to the coils it could really screw things up. As a solvent iso propyl is just one click stronger than water. On a regular basis I jus...

I feel bad for speaker manufacturers
Kosst,I could not agree with you more. This activity is not just confined to Audio.Unfortunately, it seems to be an almost universal human activity. I think it is called swindling. The art of selling mythology. What are your favorite audio forums?... 
Anyone Have Experience With the Macintosh MVP901?
Wow, that is a pricey Pioneer, 2200 sterling about $2900. It plays UHD video. The Mac does not. I suspect the Mac is better built and it is also twice as expensive. It will be used mostly for movies. All my CDs are on a hard drive. I just have the... 
Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz
 Hi Fi and I mean all of it is just a tool, a tool to play music. Most of the music I listen to from a time perspective is on Sonus remote speakers in my office, garage and workshop as back ground music. I am always humming and tapping along even ... 
Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
Whoops, hit the green button by accident!for poler molecules like oils and it evaporates very quickly. If you use the evaporation test you will notice that there is absolutely nothing in last that will not evaporate. Theo, the Sugar Cube is like h... 
Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
Whart, If iso propyl alcohol removed the cement from your stylus you need to buy a different cartridge from a different manufacturer. That is just a liability statement from Ortofon of which I have had several and have never damaged one yet. A lot...

Hey kosst when humans do not know what's going on they mythologize and with the placebo effect they can talk themselves into believing their myths. Those of us with 1/2 a brain rely on well developed concepts to determine the likelihood of anythin... 
What is the correct way to use the Zerostat?
Lewm You can contradict me all you want.Zerostats will kill static VERY temporarily. Like I said before the stylus rubbing the groove puts the charge back on in a hurry attracting dust to the record and there is plenty of dust in the air just look... 
SME 312S arm pulling into the center too much.
Make sure your table is perfectly level. Then check the set up of the arm. If there is too much overhang the skating force will increase. I have also seen a broken stylus do this before. Bad diamond. It just fractured. It sounded surprisingly norm... 
Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
Yes it is possible. Vinyl is like wine. There are good ones and bad ones.You usually get a near silent pressing with Decca, EMI, Erato, and Hamonia Mundi. Phillips and DGG about 1/2 the time. I'm sure there are other small European labels that do ... 
How does Amazon sell a 300.00 cartridge for 180.00?
For the first time I am agreeing with millercarbon. Go figure. 
Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz
Angel, I think Atmasphere has some substantial arguments in favor of vinyl. Breaking down into the simplest terms, older music that was recorded well and in analog is generally going to sound better than CD quality. There is plenty of fantastic ol... 
What is the correct way to use the Zerostat?
Zerostats do not work. The problem is that as soon as the stylus starts rubbing the groove static electricity is generated pulling dust towards the record. There are two ways to deal with this. The first is always use a dust cover. If your table d... 
Recommendations for improving visceral impact?
awilder, that is no where near enough subwoofer for that room. Who recommended that? You need at least two 12 "subs or four of the ones you have. I have a 16 X 30' room and use four 12" subs with 2000 watts each. They should have room control then...
