You do seem to be fixated with frequency, DQ. You appear to be overlooking Nick’s observation that his PSU is engineered to provide a low distortion sine wave, which he believes is the factor the has most influence to sonic performance. Been tying to keep out of this, but yes, the 50Hz does fluctuat...

The whole Linn upgrade thing is a total con. Those that sign up for this upgrade are being fleeced. Just compare the cost of the original TT from say 40 years ago, calculate the over time inflation value and the price you arrive at is considerably less than the current marketing price. Linn have eng...

Thank you guydarryl for your contribution which has brought interest to this thread and I’ve learnt quite a lot from you. My personal experience of enzyme cleaners is with L’art du Som.

Thank you, Paul. I have amended my original post, however, based on my experience, I doubt DQ really has a comprehensive understanding of this topic.

I've priced it up. £95 for 6litre machine and £70 for a vinyl lp turner that will do 4 at once. I share the ownership of an LP ultrasonic cleaner with two friends. We have found it is excellent at removing crud from deep within the record grooves but there are other considerations. You are left wit...
