I'd extend that further and say you want to minimise ANY residue carry over if the goal is to minimise the risk of audible veiling...
One benefit of using TDS measurable products is that you can test how effective you are at rinsing by watching the TDS changes in the Degritter water - if you...
Glib take: I rip all my vinyl as I play them at 192/24. Playing those digital rips gets my digital system sounding closest to vinyl :D
Ok, quite a facetious comment, but this actually proves quite useful for tuning the digital side of the system, because you know what the vinyl should sound...
I've noticed no problems with my tanks, but I've never inspected them that closely - just a casual glance inside now and then to check rollers etc. I should have taken a closer look at the failed Mk1 with four years of usage...
Many anecdotal stories would suggest otherwise. Units failing in first few days, first few hundred cycles and so on. My first unit failed at 2700 cycles, the second at 1100. I've seen a few around 5000 and even one still going at 10000+ cycles. But there definitely seem to be some weak...
As far as I know there is no way for the user to reset the wash count - I've not read of anybody doing so in the many Degritter forums I'm in. But I bet Degritter know how to, meaning I suspect it must be possible if you know how...
Have been using these sleeves from the first time record collecting in the late 1990s. Superb sleeves. You get used to handling them quite quickly, but, yes, they will crumple easily if you fumble them.
Still using it, which is a good sign! Prior to the Bardo it was Rega RP10.
Main changes since Bardo arrived - replacing the Bardo's power supply with RontII power supply, which was a surprisingly good upgrade. The biggest change was replacing the Rega Aura phono with the Gold Note PH-1000...
Really interesting question. The answer is, kind of. I've been on an upgrade journey over the past few years, and one of the first things that changed was the speakers - my older Martin Logans (SL3) developed issues, so I replaced them with a newer model (Montis). They sounded good. But over...
That does intrigue me. Is it really more than just the result of heating a record and letting it cool? Or is it doing something more? Repeated low heat/cool to "flex" it???
Peter Gabriel 4 - Classic Records edition. Been trying to find my definitive player of this album. The UK first edition is impossible to find clean - it seems like all were pressed badly - I've been through 20 copies and still no joy - all just full of ticks and clicks. The US first is clean...
Another data point, but I also haven't lost a record with the Orb either, so far... All types been through from run of the mill to MoFi One-Step, UHQR formulations and all variations of weight, colour and temperatures.
Started with one switch. Then, following threads here, went two switches. Better. Then added linear power supplies. Even better. Then added SFP. Better still. Then dropped the switches and went with Senore OpticalModule -> OpticalRendu and reused the linear power supplies. Best. The SFP...
The rubber seal is a bit of a pain. On mine, as the rubber aged over some months, the seal no longer gripped the Dergritter well and sort of fell in on itself. So I used some tape to hold it in place.
If you're gumming up the cartridge then its almost certainly user error - too much...
Have you tried contacting AnalogMagik directly? I did that and they sorted out my v2 shipped direct to me in UK. They may have been between UK dealers at that time, so might be less able to help directly now. No harm in asking...
I think you are both talking at cross purposes. mtemur is correct that the shim cannot correct zenith (only SRA/Azimuth), however, the WallyTools Kuzma service, where they install the cartridge for you DOES account for zenith:
Kuzma Tonearm Pre-Mount Service | WallyTools (wallyanalog.com)...
I use a digital one when setting up. same one I use for the TT, so any errors in meter will be consistent.

I already have the Dinolite RX-10-A, so this is interesting news... and I stand corrected on the necessity for a larger support for the WallyScope... less interesting now I have my own 3D printed stuff, but still interesting!
Coincidentally, I'm also using MSL (Ultra Eminent).
A sturdy XYZ scope mount would be welcome, but the WallyScope itself is quite substantial and many times bigger and heavier than Dinolites. A suitable support would be large and expensive...
Almost none. All solid and secure. Initial models were wobbly etc but I found ways to remove the movement. The top plate, for instance, tightly grips the WallyScope's bottom plate so there is no movement. I also picked up some longer shaft turning keys (7/64" hex driver) which enable me to...
I 3D printed a support tower for my WallyScope, "molded" around my stands and gear, so that I could do the work direct at the turntable. Prior to this I had to move the table to another surface, but I didn't like the disruption that caused. The support tower also starts the scope in close to...
