Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops How are you cleaning the records? Something is not right, or you're doing something wrong. Muffled again after cleaning a record. | |
12AX7A preamp tubes - ribbed vs smooth plate @whart Mullard's have no top end! lacked the air of my preferred GEC u-52. | |

12AX7A preamp tubes - ribbed vs smooth plate An amplifier modulates the power supplied. All things being equal, the better the supply, the better the sound. I thought rectifiers were rectifiers, nothing to do with the sound. | |

Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops Dirt on stylus. Drop gently up and down onto isopropyl alcohol soaked spot on Mr. Muscle Magic Eraser a few times. | |

Stolen property Because if ownership is established after the fact, you forfeit the goods. Honestly, what would it matter if stolen or not? | |
SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? What I love about the SpinClean is that I can give a record a quick clean if it has picked up a little dust. I do not use dry brushes. The SC detergent apparently grass the dirt out of the distilled water, thereby keeping it cleaner and necessitat... | |
SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? @benanders I get fine results using a SpinClean with distilled water and supplied detergent. (I also use an ultrasonic unit for first cleaning, with the SpinClean for final rinse.) |
