ANALOG vs DIGITAL - Ultra High Fidelity Magazine

54 THE AUDIOPHILE STORE
SILVER SOLDER
This is a lovely solder, from the
company that makes Enacom
line filters (which we also like).
Wakø-Tech solder contains 4%
silver, no lead.
ORDER: SR-4N, 100 g solder
roll, $59.95
ANALOG PRODUCTS
LONDON REFERENCE
Yes we can supply the awesome London
Reference phono cartridge that we have
adopted for ourselves. Other models on
special order. This unique cartridge has
a line contact stylus, and an output of
5 mV, right for an MM preamp.
ORDER: LRC cartridge, $4695
GOLDRING ELITE
If you have limited funds and you
want an MC cartridge with a
line contact stylus, this is a great
choice. It's a detuned version of the
very expensive (but discontinued)
Excel we still own.
ORDER: GEC cartridge, $745
TURNTABLE BELT TREATMENT
What this is not is a
sticky goo for belts on
their last legs. Rubber
Renue removes
oxidation from
rubber belts, giving
them a new lease on
life. But what astonished us is what it does to even a brand new
belt. Wipe down your belt every 3 months, and make analog sound
better than ever.
ORDER: RRU-100 drive belt treatment, $14.95
J. A. MICHELL RECORD CLAMP
Clamp your LP to the turntable
platter. We use the J. A.
Michell clamp, machined
from nearly weightless
aluminum. Drop it on,
press down, tighten
the knob.
ORDER: MRC Michell
record clamp, $75
ORDER: MRC-R clamp for
Rega and short spindles, $85
STYLUS CLEANERS
We’re often asked how we clean the
stylus on our cartridge. Two ways. The Zerodust gets used after
every play. And the Mobile Fidelity LP9 gets used every five plays.
ORDER: Enzow Zerodust, $66.95
ORDER: MoFi LP9 cleaner, $24
MOON PHONO PREAMPS
Simaudio has done it: come up
with a world-class phono
preamp that does
magic. The 310LP
(formerly the LP5.3)
is one of the best
available. Adjustable
MM/MC.
ORDER: Moon 310LP, silver (black available on order), $1599.
Special price on interconnect, one per 310LP order.
ORDER: ANA-1 Navigator All-Cu, 1m, $405, for $260
ORDER: ANA-2 Navigator All-Cu, 2m, $495 for $350
ORDER: ANAB-1 Navigator balanced, 1m, $675, for $475
ORDER: AMI-1, 1 meter Mavros, $1195, for $895
ORDER: AMI-2, 2 meter Mavros, $1895, for $1495
Even more
astonishing: the
110LP includes
much of the 310LP
technology, still
offers MM/MC,
but costs only a
fraction. Lively and
musical, it’s difficult to match.
ORDER: Moon 110LP, $599 (silver, black if desired)
Special price on interconnect, one per 110LP order.
ORDER AQS-1, Kit ,1 m Quadstar, $124.95, for $59.95
ORDER AQS-1A, Fully assembled Quadstar, $199.95, for $99.95
NOTE: The Moon preamps are shipped set for moving magnet
setting. We’ll reset it to your specification so you won’t have to.
LP RECORD CLEANER
Concentrated cleaner for LP vacuum cleaning machines.
Much safer than some formulas we’ve seen! Half litre, mix with
demineralized or distilled water to make 4 litres.
ORDER: LPC, $19.95
EXSTATIC RECORD BRUSH
The Super
Exstatic. Includes
a hard velvet pad
to get into the
grooves, two sets
of carbon fibre
tufts. We use it every time!
ORDER: GSX record brush, $36
MoFi WET/DRY BRUSH
The Super Exstatic (shown
above) is the best dry
brush we know, but if
your LP needs a wash and
you don’t have a vacuum
machine handy, this
is the one to have in
hand. Dampen it with a
good record-cleaning fluid
like our own LPC.
ORDER: MFB record brush, $36
ORDER: MFB plus LPC (4-litres), $46
ORDER: Replacment kit for MFB, $36

TITAN STYLUS LUBRICANT
Amazing, but true: dabbing
a bit of this stuff on your
stylus every 2 or 3 LPs makes
it glide through the groove
instead of scraping. Fine artist’s brush not included, but readily
available in many stores.
ORDER: TSO-1 Titan stylus oil, $39.95
ZEROSTAT ANTISTATIC PISTOL
A classic
adjunct to a
record brush
is the Zerostat
anti-static gun,
especially in dry weather. Squeeze
the trigger and release: it ionizes the
air, which becomes conductive and
drains off the static charge. By the
way, it works for a lot more than
LP’s. No batteries needed. Good for LPs, jamming printers, and
anywhere static is a problem.
ORDER: Z-1 Zerostat antistatic pistol, $94.95
LP SLEEVES
Keep your records clean and
scratch free. Replace dirty, torn
or missing inner sleeves with
quality Mobile Fidelity sleeves,
at an attractive price.
ORDER: MFS, package of 50
sleeves, $30
VINYL ESSENTIALS TEST LP
This precision-made German test record lets you check out
channel identification, correct phase, crosstalk, the tracking
ability of your cartridge (it’s a tougher test than the old Shure disc
was) and the resonance of your tone arm and cartridge. When we
need to test a turntable, this is the one we reach for.
ORDER: LP 003, Image Hifi Test LP, $48.95
CLEANER POWER
ENACOM LINE FILTER
Economy price, but astonishingly effective, we wouldn’t run our
system with less. It actually shorts out the hash on the power line.
ORDER: EAC Enacom line filter, $105
ATLAS POWER BAR
We were surprised by the massiveness
and the fit and finish on this
power bar. Would
those universal
(European/North
American) plugs
offer a tight fit? Do
they ever! The standard
IEC plug takes any power cord. With breaker and ground lug.
Bundle it with one of our own 14-gauge shielded cords, and save.
ORDER: APB power bar, $299
ORDER: APBU power bar plus UHF14 cord, $349
ORDER: APBF power bar plus UHF14F cord, $399
