Re: record cleaning

Hi Doc, thanks for advice on glue, liners and WD40! I think that I will pass on the WD40 - just worried that a coating on the stylus may encourage build up of crud ? The liners work very well used inside the card inners supplied with many records. No more scratching sounds as I remove the record fro...

Re: What makes for a good soundstage?

Hi,

Rega Ela come up slightly more often than Royd - early mk1 (full fluting on front baffle) were developed by Royd and Rega as joint venture? They use Royd drivers I think and have a very simple crossover. I love mine (owned from "new", ex demo' pair).

Re: record cleaning

Hi Helge,

Thanks for the link.
As the update at the start of the thread says, it is well worth going straight to page 34 - interesting read.

Guy.

Re: What makes for a good soundstage?

Hi Walter, Welcome. I would be careful about getting in to a (never ending?) cycle of improving power supplies etc. As your old system gave you the sound stage that you loved, and your general description of the sound that you miss, I think that the speakers are the item you miss. Was it just the lo...

Re: record cleaning

Cheers Doc,

ordered 50 - I see that he is the same chap who makes the Moth record cleaner.

I thought that I would see how many records I manage to clean with the litre of resin w, then work out the total cost for doing all my records and make a decision based on that.

Thanks for the advice. Guy.

Re: record cleaning

Hi Doc,

Just ordered 1 litre resin w from Amazon (£7.99 inc delivery). I will give it a bash and report back.

Any recommendations for new inner sleeves (plain paper/polylined/whatever).

Thanks. Guy

Re: record cleaning

Hi Doc, I remember buying a PVA based record cleaner over 30 years ago :cry: Seemed to work quite well but needed to be put on quite thick or traces of film were left in the groove. Reason I am interested in a wet cleaner is that I was a smoker several years ago, and not sure whether the film mask m...

record cleaning

Dear all,

Just mentioned to my wife that I would quite like a record cleaning machine for Christmas and wasn't shot down in flames :dance:

I have read around a bit on the interweb and the Okki Nokki seems to be well regarded. Any experiences/comments/alternatives - not silly money.

Guy.
