Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Too much theory, my no-name bud.

HI.

Being a very very busy guy, I seldom get the luxury of 5-hour (!!) session for my vinyls.

BTW, you ever touch vinyls? If not yet, don't try it, amen!

Here is 'routine' rituals I go through to play a vinyl, put the LP on, secure it with the disc stabilizer, inspect & clean the stylus, check the DYNAMIC balance of the cartridge/stylus, wet the disc with pure distilled water (ad I always play wet), check the motor speed again, then lower the cartridge to the right track dead-slow manaully using the turntable hydraulic lever..........

But before I start these sorta painful rituals, everytime I check the cell voltage first, monitored by a dedicated voltage digital meter always inserted to the voltage check points installed on the power pack housing. I push the quick-charge button to start charging the cell if found drop a bit too low. This is always done before I start to exercise my time consuming LP routine rituals.

So far so good. Well, it worths the "pain" considering the joy of
musical enjoyment & sorta being-there engagement that only vinyl can offer.

PS: Your CCS suggestion is correct, technically. But as a vinyl fan, I try to refrain from any SS sonic pollution after going such a long long way.
