| Some Direction Please...... "Redneck ultrasound..."Around here, we call that DIY, and it is much admired. I use a similar setup. I highly recommend the US spinner from Vinyl Stack - it's a very well made, fairly priced item, made expressly for the purpose. Get a spare handle... | |
| Some Direction Please...... Completely agree with ultrasonic record cleaning. In addition to immediate sonic benefits, it prolongs stylus life.When you upgrade your analogue system, the correct order is turntable (for sonorous sound), tonearm (for repeatable adjustments), st... | |
| TT mats I use a 1" graphite slab, don’t see how you could call a 1" piece a mat. It damps the 45kg cast iron platter down to dead dull; it sounds just wonderful, alive without undue emphasis. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Worried? What, me worried? Arrggghhhhhh ..... | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used I should also have noted that in the real world of physical measurements, speed is always an average. So speed can be spot in when measured over a few seconds, but nevertheless have huge variation when the average is taken over a few milliseconds.... | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used Well handyman, you say the speed is spot on because the TT is direct drive. I don’t think so.TT generate lots of noise, which means vibration, and speed variation. It is only a question of the spectrum and amplitude of noise. For example, there is... | |

| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used I did a similar thing. I disregarded expert advice, and spent on cartridge, tonearm, and turntable, in that order. It was a mistake on so many levels.First, a TT gives you more bang for the buck. A better TT should give you less noise, less sibila... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning I think that an examination of this thread will show you a better way. IMO, US is the best way.I have a record of 60's folk music that looks terrible, grade about 'Good', but that plays NM. That said, I also have a sealed Chopin which is unlistena... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Phil, I should have mentioned that when you clean hotter, you should cool the records as uniformly as possible. That's easy by spinning in a distilled water bath. | |
| Ripped off, any ideas? Don't get down on yourself JB, we've all been there. Just chalk it up to experience - it could have been millions invested! | |
| Falling out of love with tubes I agree with Audioman. DIY forever!! | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Pleasure to help, Phil. We're all in this together!I use VersaClean at 40:1 for clean records, the minimum recommended. For garage sale records, 20:1. A gallon goes a loooong way! (guilty secret here - also works brilliantly for good wine glasses)... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @whart You are too modest, whart.As far as alcohols are concerned, the issue is 'flash point', the temperature at which a vapour ignites. Since the US machine operates on electricity, there is always the chance of a spark, hence a constant hazard.... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @slaw Thanks for your gentlemanly note. No offence taken. |
