Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
Has anyone found a good source for pure water? I am in Florida and have not been able to find those mentioned. I just spent 2 hours calling around to labs and pharmacies but again came up "dry". (This list needed a pun!)Any thoughts... please let ... 
Loricraft Record Cleaning
Dgad,It's a commercial program at www.collectorz.com. I have the Movie Collector Pro and also the Music Collector Pro. The Music Collector Pro is of course oriented toward CD's, but it still does a great job on records. You enter the name of the a...

Dgad... congrats on getting the Hannl RCM. I have mine a few weeks now, and it's hard to imagine being without it. The x-2000 fluid that came with it is OK, but the L'Art du Son does a much better job. Make sure you find some really pure water to ... 
Record Cleaning Machines: Hannl or Typhoon
Donaudio...I just purchased the Hannl Micro, and so far it's great. It is considerably quieter than the VPI but not as quiet as the Loricraft. The Hannl Mera was not available in the US as of a few weeks ago. The Aragon and the Micro were. I did a... 
803D or 802D
Hi Chris,I was trying to make the same decision. A local dealer had a demo pair of 803D's and I went and listened to them and they sounded great. Then another dealer came up with a demo pair of 802D's. It was a 300 mile drive, but I'm really glad ... 
803D or 802D
Well, turns out I was correct, 802D's did not come in Dark Cherry. I got the serial numbers from the 803D's and called B&W. The tech checked the numbers, and they were 802D's, in Rosenut finish. They can also tell when they were sold to the de... 
803D or 802D
I just auditioned the 803D's and really liked them. I'm wanting to get back to more music and less theater. Today a used set of 802D's became available and I need to go and hear them as well. Seems like most in this thread like the 803D's but thin...

The Hannl Micro arrived, and my 1st impression was WOW! I had seen the Nitty Gritty and the VPI and they look functional, the Hannl looks like a "high end" turntable. It has a gloss black and brushed aluminum finish and you don't have to hide it i... 
phono stage advice please
I also have the Pro-ject Xperience table and really like it. I'm using a Denon 103D MC cartridge and tried several phono stages. I finally purchased the Jolida JD9 tube phono stage. It takes 100+ hours to really break it in, but has a great sound.... 
Loricraft Record Cleaning
Yioryos: I agree with you completely... the units look really good and I'm sure will do the job. Like you, I have a small collection of records, probably less than 500 titles, but at least half of them are really good and worth the effort. I have ... 
Melbourne, Australia
Looks like you found another Melbourne Audiogonner! Been at it since the 60's and probably spent more than it takes to run a small country, but it's great fun. Even my wife likes the sound and understands the addiction. Best wishes from across the... 
Loricraft Record Cleaning
Thanks to everyone for the good dialog on record cleaning machines. I went through the info carefully and checked all the machines again. Cytocycle offered a tidbit on the Hannyl RCM, a machine that I hadn't heard of before. Their machines look ve... 
Loricraft Record Cleaning
I appreciate the info, especially on the Clearaudio. It also looks like a very good machine. For those who are using it... is there any problem transferring crud from one record to another. It would seem like they have some type of "lips" that mus... 
Loricraft Record Cleaning
Thanks for the good comments. I haven't owned a record cleaning machine to this point, but I still feel that it's the way to go... at least for me. Also, I know that if it makes a lot of noise, my wife will throw both of us out and I don't need an...
