All good advice.
How are you cleaning your vinyl? Don't underestimate the importance of a clean groove. The KAB USA EV-1 is the best $150 I spent in my thousands of dollars set up. IMO, a vacuum machine is the only way to go.
My friend bought a few LPs at the same time as me, we both got Aqualung, Take Five and Kind of Blue together. Mine I vacuumed, his he used a Discwasher D4 brush and fluid.
These are new LPs with only a few plays but the difference is obvious on both his and my system. He has an EV-1 on order now.
Also, where are you putting the TT? Makes a big difference too. I use a rigid wall shelf (in stone walls) and spikes.

When do you consider an amp "high end"?
When my occiliscope tells me so...

Oh well, I hope its better here.
Yeah? Well it's not.
Some of us crazy fools also think that an amplifier might actually make a difference to the sound. Sorry.

Saw a link on Steve Hoffman forums.

Set the cat cat-hater on fire and flush it his head down the toilet then.

I'd think he's been working on his other business data as a priority. Anyone know if those other sites are up? I can't remember where they were linked, I think Kevin posted them.

I've tried lots of things over the years and a 5 minute soak with the hose is the only one that has worked first time, every time.
Of course you have to contain the cat first, you can't set traps I see. If it comes in your house maybe you can put it under a big milk crate of something and squirt the hell out of it.
I don't consider it cruel as it won't do any lasting damage (other than to the cats desire to return) and prevents the cat getting more seriously hurt... Not by me of course, I'm against "cruelty" to animals. Or people for that matter.

There's not much difference in their 1/4s, both are good. Their 1/8 straight are pretty close too but I think the Neutrik are more durable, Canare F12 are far better than either. In 1/8 RT angle, Neutrik all the way. SC 1/8 RT angle look great, but are crap design and fail regularly.

I just did a search for Head-Fi on Facebook and all that comes up is a meet in Manchester England. Can someone tell me the correct path?
Hi Aaron,

On the left side of a facebook page, underneath Applications, click on Groups. In the box with "search for groups" written in it, type head-fi. The top result is the one you want, click on "view group" and the vid is a little way down.

Hey Guys, thank god I found this place, eventually.
I don't think they should put back '06 unless there is no hope of recovery at all. It would get very messy.
Justin, surely the vast majority will find you somehow, or wait until HF is back on line. I know everyone is VERY keen for these things! Let me know if you need my email addy, or PM me here I guess. Payment waiting.
I was in the middle of a few transactions, does anyone have email addresses for memepool, jabada, MuseMan or PhaedrusX? If so can you please PM/email me or them?
Man I feel for Jude...

I use the AI fluids but I think they all do a similar job, it's the vacuuming the suspended crap out of the groove that gives the results.
New discs have so much shit on them, you can see it in bright light, all greasy with release compound and god knows what. That stuffs not going near my needle!
I only do each disc once too, after that it's just a carbon brush and zero stat.
