Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System
Loricraft is good but the Source Odyssey is even better regarding silence and handling for on the spot cleaning. But on both machines you have to monitor the cleaning and reverse the side of the record. My Clearaudio Double Matrix is very loud and... 
Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System
I have tested four different versions together with Rainer Gläss during the market entry phase. I wasn´t convinced from the beginning. Now he has a chip programmed which is superior to the first ones. This machine is now a killer application. It d...

active vs. passive flywheel ??as I am very happy with the VPI SDS active flywheel - the technology used by VPI inside the SDS is excellent and also the metal parts are drilled precisely - I will now test another flywheel, a passive one.I will come...

T-bone, if you use your FR-7f in a FR-66s connecting it with a good phono silver cable (not the Kondo one but maybe the Crystal Cable Dreamline) and put it through a Kondo KSL transformer you will end up with a fantastic result.Also the Titan i an... 
Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System
I run the audio desk vinyl cleaner since 3 months and I am very happy. In the beginning the drying process was not at its optimum. Therefore the process chip had to be reprogrammed. One can exchange the chip quite easy.I also use a Clearaudio Doub... 
The Best Phono cable
Nsgarch,I was using some phono cables in the past, also trying to improve the matching components in the phono chain and I ended up with the Crystal Cable Dreamline. Try this one, it is not a cheap one but it is worth the price if you are looking ... 
what is the quietest air pump for my ET-2 ?
I also found two other solutions, one is an Ekon Air system which is a big compressor coming with a noise dampening box and the other one is a Japanese High-Blow fish tank pump also using the big dampening box and providing continous streaming flow. 
Green light from spouse - now what
Kip, pls. design your room for audio listening purposes. Nevertheless the atmosphere is really important, you need to have light and some spacy feeling. This is what most people forget and never experienced before. This room must be something diff... 
what is the quietest air pump for my ET-2 ?
I now received the Junair. This is a nearly noiseless compressor, you only hear air breathing... really! I do use in my listening room driving the Eminent Technology 2 and 2,5. You see a pic on my system site.

Dgad,if you are not using any vibration platform you may also go for better motors like Faulhaber or Maxon motors. If you supply the Faulhaber motors by Sorbothane you might really hear a difference to the motors now running.This is not theory but... 
Green light from spouse - now what
ok Kip. so it looks to me you decided already how big the room will be, what materials you are using for underground, ceiling etc. All your ideas are driving your architect into despair... And you just have to find the perfect stand for your TT.Ma...

downunder,why do you don´t proof my suggestion on reality? Did you talk to Mike already? Who did tell you that you cannot bring your Raven motors "under vibration control". Are you living in the middle ages believing what some spiritual voice is t...

Downunder,you may place motors and the Raven plinth on separate platforms of one big isolation base with different and separated platforms on the top layer of the isolation base. Ask Mike from HRS, he can do it for you - I am pretty shure. 
Da Vinci AAS Gabriel
I see many people owning a Raven improving the TT by motor gear, isolation platforms etc. So it should make sense. I have tested HRS platforms at the Munich High-End show and in my room. Maybe even better. And you may split two seperate platforms,...

Dgad, I know some people might call me an extremist having some tables and a few tonearms. And indeed in some respect I am one - maybe you too, being enganged in writings like this. I did not walk into a shop and bought them all, I collected over ...
