I'd extend that further and say you want to minimise ANY residue carry over if the goal is to minimise the risk of audible veiling...
One benefit of using TDS measurable products is that you can test how effective you are at rinsing by watching the TDS changes in the Degritter water - if you...
Glib take: I rip all my vinyl as I play them at 192/24. Playing those digital rips gets my digital system sounding closest to vinyl :D
Ok, quite a facetious comment, but this actually proves quite useful for tuning the digital side of the system, because you know what the vinyl should sound...
I've noticed no problems with my tanks, but I've never inspected them that closely - just a casual glance inside now and then to check rollers etc. I should have taken a closer look at the failed Mk1 with four years of usage...
Many anecdotal stories would suggest otherwise. Units failing in first few days, first few hundred cycles and so on. My first unit failed at 2700 cycles, the second at 1100. I've seen a few around 5000 and even one still going at 10000+ cycles. But there definitely seem to be some weak...
As far as I know there is no way for the user to reset the wash count - I've not read of anybody doing so in the many Degritter forums I'm in. But I bet Degritter know how to, meaning I suspect it must be possible if you know how...
Have been using these sleeves from the first time record collecting in the late 1990s. Superb sleeves. You get used to handling them quite quickly, but, yes, they will crumple easily if you fumble them.
Still using it, which is a good sign! Prior to the Bardo it was Rega RP10.
Main changes since Bardo arrived - replacing the Bardo's power supply with RontII power supply, which was a surprisingly good upgrade. The biggest change was replacing the Rega Aura phono with the Gold Note PH-1000...
Really interesting question. The answer is, kind of. I've been on an upgrade journey over the past few years, and one of the first things that changed was the speakers - my older Martin Logans (SL3) developed issues, so I replaced them with a newer model (Montis). They sounded good. But over...
That does intrigue me. Is it really more than just the result of heating a record and letting it cool? Or is it doing something more? Repeated low heat/cool to "flex" it???
