A few years ago I picked up a .50 cent first pressing mono copy of The electric prunes/I had to much to dream last night. It was in real bad shape with a few deep scratches. I cleaned it with my spin clean and my nitty gritty 1.5 rcm and it was still pretty much unplayable. I was telling my...

I found a AR XA for sale in good condition with the original box... It came with a Ortofon f 15 cartridge(I'm guessing that's the cartridge)... When I hooked it up the volume was a little low,so I switched it out with a shure m91ed and I must say it sounds fantastic...The Ortofon stylus has...

I have a Marantz 1060 amp with a built in phono amp. I've been looking at this ART II DJ phono preamp that runs about $40. Would it be worth my time and money to purchase one of these,or is running my turntable directly into the Marantz as good or better? I have one more question about a...

I need some insight on this one. I have a NG 1.5 and I have used up the 4oz bottle that came with it. A half gallon of the pure 2 will run close to $50 after shipping,I can get a bottle of the vpi concentrate for around $25 bucks that makes 1 gallon. I'm not interested in doing a home brew.I do...

I hope someone here on AK knows what this is and how to use it. The numbers listed are 2 to 6g. Thanks for any information.:thmbsp:

When playing a record with alot of surface noise,but with no skipping,would it be better to track with lower tracking weight or heavier weight?Right now I'm playing a record that has alot surface noise,and I have the tracking force set just below 1.0,it seems to sound a little better.I normally...

Today I purchased a Nitty Gritty 1.5 Record Cleaning System. I also own a spin clean that I really like,but I feel like I needed a vacuum to go along with the cleaning.I did make my own vacuum but it was to much trouble. One of the biggest reasons I wanted the NG is because I like the...

The other day I picked up a copy of Rubber Soul on the orange Capitol label SW-2442. This morning I noticed that it has the side one label also on side two. Does anyone know if these pressings are common? The vinyl is in great shape and sounds amazing! From what I could tell this is what I...

I picked this table up a few months ago.I paid $25 for it. When I powered it up there were a couple of bulbs out(33/45). I put a album on and at 33 rpm it played real slow,at 45 rpm it played at 33 rpm speed. So I ordered the replacement bulb kit from the guy on ebay that comes with four new...

I recently picked up a Miida 3125 receiver. Does anyone have any information about this receiver? It's clean and in mint condition. It has a nice warm sound and the tuner seems to pick up good. It's a nice little pick up for a receiver that from what I gather is not top of the line. I paid $50...
