Ive probably done at least 8,000 records in mine ( I offer cleaning as a service in addition to my KLAudio ULtrasonic machine).
Works as good as new. The "only" issue is occasionally the LEDs that register how full the cleaning tank is, are slightly incorrect, and sometimes the underside of the...
So the OCD in me meant I wasn't happy with having the isolation footers sitting on the actual footers of the T+A gear, coupled (sic!) with the fact that they were probably not equidistant, so I made me a template!!!!
Now they are all perfect!
Also repositioned the speakers a...
Hi @tom539 - I would say I am certainly most impressed by the DAC200. This thing punches WELL above its price point (cliched to say I know but in this case its true!). I would say overall I am chuffed with the improvements in the system, HOWEVER, I kinda miss the high damping factor of the Hegel...
Gotta agree with an earlier comment about Nagra, put either the Classic integrated or the Classic pre/power on your list. This combination is beautiful.
New Order - "Power, Corruptionand Lies" boxset.
There's lots of CDs and DVDs in the boxset too but I don't photo them as I don't concern myself with that stuff...;)
The Keplers are a revelation. I don't know how Piotr can make them and sell them for what he does considering every one is hand-made by him and the quality of every unit is identical!
I did make a somewhat aesthetic decision to use NEO Ceradisc footers under the equipment and the Keplers for the...
My Sonic Messiah (HiFi) is back in business!!
Couple of pics of the core (new) parts:-
T+A DAC-200 DAC/Pre
T+A M200 Monoblocs
Wiim Pro Plus (only for the wife's need for Spotify)
Also playing around with isolation but might just take them out until the gear is run in over the next couple...
Removed the Wharfedale spike and Bassocontinuo DSD footer from the Elysian 4 and replaced with Divine Acoustics Kepler. Still waiting for new T+A gear to arrive so not done comparisons yet.
Fingerprints are predominately a top layer issue and rarely affect playback in my unscientific opinion (as all vinyl cleaning is unscientific).
If you really have to remove top layer dirt, oils, grease, fingerprints, buy a wet record cleaning machine that uses chemicals and is designed for this...
30 mins of my life I will never get back.
Sounds like an advert (or confirmation bias) for the Degritter rather than an attack on the Humminguru's performance.
It "ruined" the record? Please - proof or it didnt happen. Did he listen to every minute of every copy of this Muse album to come to...
I’ve had similar issues with Morrow Audio USB cables where they work for a time on some devices, then just stop, but seem to work ok on other devices for a time…
For a number of years I was running a ProJect RPM10.1 turntable, first with an Ortofon 2M Black, followed by a Quintet Black, then as luck would have it, a Supex SD900 MKIV (which I still use).
Fast forward to last year and I acquired a late 70s Linn Sondek with Grace 707 arm in fantastic...
The Hegel H390 eventually got upgraded middle of last year, moving to the flagship H590.
Digital duties are taken care of via Innuos ZEN MK3 (switching between Roon and Sense), with a Waversa SmartHub3.0 as switch.
My current system really evolved into what you see above, just around the start of the pandemic. I was seriously not looking at any more passive components, saving my pennies to move over to a pair of fully active speakers. I loved my Luxman L-550AX, but the time to move into a different system...
