I am really enjoying vinyl hunting but used records make the need for a clening machine ever more apparent.

Well I did send the 963 off to SACDmods today so that was a good prediction. The Stealth I ordered on Saturday...!
And I still need a cleaning machine.

I just heard the VPI 16.5 that I have in stock calling your name. It was faint but I heard it clear as can be.And it said it has always want to live in NV. where it won't be taxed for all of its hard work. And your records will love you for it. And don't forget to get some vinyl zyme - the best record cleaner I have ever used.

Yes, I think I hear it too!!!
No wait. I don't think it's the VPI saying "buy me". I think it's the Stealth saying "pay for me!" Yes, that's it.
As for the vinyl zyme, you already sold me enough concentrate to clean your collection. By the way, that stuff's great on my hair. Is that indicative of fungus?

PS You got a cheap tuna around? FM not samich! I gotta move my NAD receiver into the garage. (Wife found out about the Stealth!)

Why do I think it won't stop w/ a record cleaning machine?!
Somebody help me!

Buying a banana hanger under the radar is a dead giveaway that you are ready for intensive therapy! The doctor will see you now.

I only posted this here because I am also scouting out a record cleaning machine myself... so I can call the kettle black!

About the fungus?

I hope not!
The need for the record cleaner is painfully obvious to me already. I saw it coming, but you hope that something simpler would work. I guess my vinyl is pretty dirty though.

I think you should start 'Team Stealth Banana Hanger'!

everyone keeps saying what wonders a cleaning machine will do. I have to hear to believe. You think I should go with a couple of records to the dealer to check it out?

Is the VPI 16.5 much better than the nitty gritty or do you pay all that extra money for the automatic cleaning?

1. Did the 963 come back yet? Will you give us impressions?
2. How does your meridian compare to your anlog rig?

1)I really like the Meridian and I must admit that many titles sound better on it. Hoewever, I also have some records that really do sound better on the vinyl. I'm not 100% convinced that I have the Scout set up optimally. I've got new ICs coming which I think will make a big difference and I think The Stealth as my new Preamp will make a big difference too. I need to double check cart alignment as well. In other words, the jury is still out but the good news is there won't be any losers!
2) Modded 963 is scheduled for delivery on Friday 10/22. I let you guys know how it is.

so you still have not tried it with the new phono pre-amp
