    Vinyl Cleaning Question

    My Ultrasonic cleaner, HumminGuru uses distilled water and a single drop from their blue bottle liquid, which they list as optional.

    Randy's Music Room

    I flipped the room and reconfigured it to be much more uniformed. The biggest challenge in this small room is finding space for the guitars when they are in their cases. I am hoping that the humidifier can keep the humidity in an acceptable level so that I can leave them out of the cases...

    Rega RP8 (RB808) & Denon DL-103R

    Now that the cartridge has been played for a while it seems to be really settling into place. The highs have opened quite a bit, and I would not classify it as subdued any more. The bottom end has tightened considerably. The imaging is ultra impressive! So far, I am really getting more and...

    Randy's Music Room

    Ok, an update now that things are all settled into place. Really enjoying the Rega table with the new Denon cartridge. Been buying several 45 RPM records lately and they are sounding excellent! :)

    Best Pure Musical Amplifiers (power not important)

    Glad you like your little amps, and HUGE Klipsch speakers. I sold Klipsch years ago and many people like them. I respected them as very reliable quality-built speakers. I was personally never a fan. I simply have never liked horn loaded speakers. My personal taste has always led to a harder...

    Awesome system pics (doesn't have to be your own)

    For a brief second, I thought they might be Harbeth. But then I realize they are probably too large to be even the 40's :).

    Best Pure Musical Amplifiers (power not important)

    I used to sell Carver amps. They had a huge amount of power, but honestly, we had more issues with these than any other amplifiers we carried. I remember a day when one of the "cubes" literally jumped off the shelf in our showroom, like it was committing suicide. :) They did get a bit better...

    Yes, DL-103R. Sorry... Typo king here.

    Rega RP8 (RB808) & Denon DL-103R

    They claim that the Denon is not a great match for extremely low mass arms, but it does appear to work fine on my Rega RB808 arm, which is relatively low mass. I did have to roll the counterweight back quite a bit from where it was for the Rega cartridge, but I had no problems getting it to the...

    Rega RP8 (RB808) & Denon DL-103R

    Ok, so after a couple of days and several albums I can see why fans call the Denon DL-103R a very musical cartridge. It is hard to compare it against what the Rega Ania Pro but I would say maybe ever so slightly less subdued on the very top end, cymbals, etc. The top end sounds very good but...

    Rega RP8 (RB808) & Denon DL-103R

    The Denon arrived and an uneventful install. I hear they need some serious breakin time. Sound pretty good so far though.

    First Watt are awesome. That is one amp I miss :).

    Rega RP8 (RB808) & Denon DL-103R

    There is literally no place to look at audio gear here. You would think a town with the local population of over 700,000 would be able to support a decent store. Too bad the only one that was here ended up being a criminal. I do miss our audio club back in California. I have not met anyone...

    Rega RP8 (RB808) & Denon DL-103R

    My biggest concern with trying new cartridges on the Rega is that the wires are so thin and fragile coming out of the arm tube. I am afraid to switch them too much. Unlike my Technics with the interchangeable head shell. My Technics is a more basic lower model than yours, but I love that you...
