I love my VPI have had it around 8 years. I had a Record Doctor for around 10 years before the VPI. I sold it to my buddy about 5 years ago and it's still going strong.

The guy that came up with this mix is also a chemist and says that Ilfotol is just a diluted version of Triton-x therefore more expensive. This is from a discussion on Vinyl Engine. Not saying your wrong just that after reading and conversing with him, I trust his knowledge...

It's diy you don't have to us it in the mix.

I have a VPI 17 that I use and as of late putting together a Ultra Sonic system. I have a DIY solution that I am trying that can be diluted and used in the US tank. If anyone is interested this is the formula. It comes from a chemist that comments on Vinyl Engine. The only difference is I add a...

Hifi Guy, I have several to choose from. I would probably start with my Musical Design D-140 SS amp. I have used this one with my old MG 3a's with great success. It is high current and doubles at 4 ohms. I also have my Aronov Monos which are 110 watts and also drove the Maggie's quite well. I...

I have a dilemma about speakers. My main speakers are an old pair of Merlin VSM-SE's. I am not at all unhappy with them and love the way they sound. The problem is there is a crossover upgrade that would bring them close to the last model before the company closed. The cost will be around $1200...

I hear you, just teasing you about the cult thing. My favorite budget cartridge is the AT-7V. Although the price has jumped a bit in the last couple of years. I think it's still a best buy and a damn good tracker. If you get a chance check it out. http://www.lpgear.com/product/AT7V.html

Not a big fan of Ian, but I truly love my Nagaoka. I guess I drank the Kool aid 😁

A few more spots to buy tubes. https://electols.com/shopping/en/ Mostly Russian and Euro tubes. http://www.vacuumtubes.com/ A bit of everything and decent prices on many tubes.

Another cartridge to consider is the AT-7V. A warmer sounding AT but keeps the extension in the highs. Just seems more balanced than my 440- ML. It's gone up in price since I got mine. They were $160 now $210 still highly recommend.

These are also decent buys. https://www.amazon.com/Marantz-Professional-PMD-526C-Bluetooth-Player/dp/B01N7YLV7W/ref=sr_1_6?crid=22EFPOF4HAGO4&keywords=tascam+cd+player&qid=1576539072&s=electronics&sprefix=Tascam+cd+player%2Celectronics%2C201&sr=1-6...

Well my first foray into cables making a difference was by accident. My 2 audio buddies that I hung out with were also musicians so they convinced me to just use a quality cable. We all used 12ga Soundking speaker wire. Everything is fine, wire as long as it's proper gauge can't make a...

Thanks for the heads up just ordered one.

I love the design of this company, not to mention the designer is in our local audio group. They sound wonderful with tubes. VAPOR AUDIO :: Exquisite Sound : These, belive it or not are even better. These are more for the common man. They are as good as my beloved Merlin VSM's

Just wondering if we have any Gateway guys hanging out?

The Pangea Vulcan racks go for $129.00 at audioadvisor.com. Worth a look you can also buy extra shelves if you need to expand.

Yeah just saw it in your signature. Very nice setup. Sometimes we just get lousy pressing. Have you tried Moving Coil in your system? Your phonostages is a nice one should work great with MC.

@Mather I meant to ask, what do you use for cleaning your vinyl?

Can I make a suggestion. Go to Vinyl Engine and download Conrad Hoffman's arc protractor and make sure it's to scale. When you're sure it's right, print it on some card stock paper and laminate it. Then buy an inexpensive cartridge ( AT-95, Shure M-97x or similar ) some tools for mounting...

I would check your skate force since the noise is in the right channel. I think the right channel is the left side of the groove. So a bit to much skate force could be pulling the stylus to the left side. This may not be it but worth checking out.
