whell Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 BBE used to make one of these, as well as SAE. The SAE model is out on Ebay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1359399563 Supposedly, these devices connected between the turntable and the receiver/preamp, and "cleaned up" the signal coming from the turntable, by removing the pops and scratchy noises produced by records in less than mint condition. Does anyone have any experience with these ddevices? Did they do the job that the manufacturer claimed it could do? Was there a noticiable positive or negative impact on overall sound quality?

mobile homeless Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 It is my personal opinion to avoid these machines and concentrate on preserving your collection with other means. Some like these machines but I find them more detrimental to the sound. While they may be helpful in terrible situations, with better vinyl, I find them adding an extra layer of film over the window... Others use them. Many also love filters and equalizers to add in this area. This, once again, is opinion and personal preference. In my system, they end up detracting from the sound. Others find the results rewarding and do not mind. I have never heard one of these pop/click removal devices do a good enough job in a very high resolution system to warrant the use. kh Phono Linn Sondek LP-12 Valhalla / Linn Basic Plus / Sumiko Blue Point CD Player Rega Planet Preamp Cary Audio SLP-70 w/Phono Modified Amplifier Welborne Labs 2A3 Moondog Monoblocks Cable DIYCable Superlative / Twisted Cross Connect Speaker 1977 Klipsch Cornwall I w/Alnico & Type B Crossover system one online / alternate components / Asylum Listing f>s> This message has been edited by mobile homeless on 06-17-2002 at 11:02 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
