Description

This my new room. After an extensive remodel adding an apt for one of my children. We removed the closet and made this my new 2CH/HT room. Having the couch against back wall not ideal, but not much I can do about that. I actually use all 3 record cleaning devices. I make a DIY solution of 80% distilled water 20% alcohol and a few drops of a surfactant. I use this solution on the Record Dr. then place album in the HumminGuru, which I stop at the drying cycle. Then place in the Spin Clean to rinse, then one more trip to the Record Dr to vacuum the rinsed water. This seems to work really well, enjoying albums I brought back in HS in the 70’s. I actually paired down my record collection significantly from about 900 to now only about 200, kept the ones I’ll actually listen to. Near future upgrades probably will be upgrading to the new Rega P6 rs model. and a new phono amp. Long term upgrades maybe a Rogue RP 5 and a new 2CH power amp. Have thought of room correction but with a bookcase on one wall, drapes and desk on the other wall (where the window is) and the couch on the back wall and a large area rug, not sure what would be cost effective. One last thing updated this system. I was using the Park Audio WaxWing DSP phono amp. Spent several hours yesterday going back and forth between all 3. The Rega MC FONO was the definite winner. Surprised how good the zphono sounded at halve the price of the other two. The waxwing wasn’t bad had LOTS of features, would be a great choice in a lesser system.

Yes they do. I went from AV123 Strata Mini's to these. I like the Zu Audio much better. I listened to Klipsch heresy’s and Wharfedale super linton's. They both were an improvement over the strata mini's, but I really preferred the Zu DW6’s.
