How do you clean your vinyl? by andifallin vinyl

[–]rps5000 0 points1 point ago

A solution of 3 parts distilled water to 1 part isopropyl alcohol (99% preferably), and 1 drop of regular enzyme dish soap for every liter or so(nothing with lotion or aloe added). Spread that out on the record, then rinse with distilled water once or twice, dry with a microfiber cloth.

Nakamichi TA 1A or Pioneer SA 540 Receiver? by nickliam1in vinyl

[–]rps5000 1 point2 points ago

A fully functional TA-1A for $50 is a good deal. Unless you are trying to drive some very big or very inefficient speakers, it should do you just fine.

As for tables, you might want to check eBay, although you can certainly find them at thrift stores if you are lucky.

Nakamichi TA 1A or Pioneer SA 540 Receiver? by nickliam1in vinyl

[–]rps5000 2 points3 points ago

I highly recommend Nakamichi gear, and the SR and TA line of receivers are some of the best values you can find. The SR series has slightly better build-quality, but the TAs have more power. I have an SR-3A and TA-2A myself. While the TA-1A does not have a Nelson Pass STASIS amp section, it should put out a very clean 35WPC and the SR and TA lines have outstanding phono stages.

I'm not especially familiar with the Pioneer, but it was produced in the mid-80s, generally considered to be past Pioneer's prime.

I would go with the Nak, I may be biased though. Might want to ask in /r/audiophile

PSA for new Dota 2 players by Sm3agololin DotA2

[–]rps5000 2 points3 points ago

Here's a tip...since you will invariably run into ragers, ignore and/or report them. Sadly, there are many players that go into games looking for every opportunity to flame, blame, and rage at their teammates. I am not sure how well the report feature is implemented at this point, but it is worth using.

OP gives excellent advice, but no matter how well you play you will still run in to determined ragers. Don't let them ruin your experience.

I was playing Dazzle today and Axe's Culling Blade killed me through Shallow Grave. Is this supposed to happen? I haven't been able to find an answer.

Here's my Christmas present I gave myself this year. What do you think? (x-post from vinyl) by UEMEDCin vintageaudio

[–]rps5000 0 points1 point ago

Is that a Pioneer SX-727? Nice receiver, I have a friend who just sold one he refurbished and upgraded online. Might be the one you have :)

Can anyone suggest a good stylus cleaner? by scootaliciousin vinyl

[–]rps5000 12 points13 points ago

Get a pack of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers which can be found at nearly any grocery store. Then cut a sliver off one and use that to clean your stylus. Lots of people suggest putting the sliver below the stylus and lowering the needle, but I have found that gently raising the Magic Eraser to the stylus will remove any gunk like a magnet.
