56 THE AUDIOPHILE STORE<br />
SILVER SOLDER<br />

company <strong>that</strong> makes Enacom<br />
line filters (which we also like).<br />
Wakø-Tech solder contains 4%<br />
silver, no lead.<br />
ORDER: SR-4N, 100 g solder<br />
roll, $59.95<br />
ANALOG PRODUCTS<br />
LONDON REFERENCE<br />
Yes we can supply the awesome London<br />
Reference phono cartridge <strong>that</strong> we have<br />
adopted as a reference. Other models on<br />
special order. This unique cartridge has<br />
a line contact stylus, and an output of<br />
5 mV, right for an MM preamp.<br />
ORDER: LRC cartridge, $4695<br />
GOLDRING ELITE<br />
If you have limited funds and you<br />
want an MC cartridge with a<br />
line contact stylus, this is a great<br />
choice. It's a detuned version of the<br />
very expensive (but discontinued)<br />
Excel we still own.<br />
ORDER: GEC cartridge, $745<br />
TURNTABLE BELT TREATMENT<br />
What this is not is a<br />
sticky goo for belts on<br />
their last legs. Rubber<br />
Renue removes<br />
oxidation from<br />
rubber belts, giving<br />
them a new lease on<br />
life. But what astonished us is what it does to even a brand new<br />
belt. Wipe down your belt every 3 months, and make analog sound<br />
better than ever.<br />
ORDER: RRU-100 drive belt treatment, $16.95<br />
J. A. MICHELL RECORD CLAMP<br />
Clamp your LP to the turntable<br />
platter. We use the J. A.<br />
Michell clamp, machined<br />
from nearly weightless<br />
aluminum. Drop it on,<br />
press down, tighten<br />
the knob.<br />
ORDER: MRC Michell<br />
record clamp, $75<br />
ORDER: MRC-R clamp for<br />
Rega and short spindles, $85<br />
STYLUS CLEANERS<br />
We’re often asked how we clean the<br />
stylus on our cartridge. <strong>Two</strong> ways. The Zerodust gets used after<br />
every play. And the Mobile Fidelity LP9 gets used every five plays.<br />
ORDER: Enzow Zerodust, $66.95<br />
ORDER: MoFi LP9 cleaner, $24<br />
MOON PHONO PREAMPS<br />
Sim<strong>audio</strong> has done it: come up<br />
with a world-class phono<br />
preamp <strong>that</strong> does<br />
<strong>magic</strong>. The 310LP<br />
(formerly the LP5.3)<br />
is one of the best<br />
available. Adjustable<br />
MM/MC.<br />
ORDER: Moon 310LP, silver (black available on order), $1599.<br />
Special price on interconnect, one per 310LP order.<br />
ORDER: ANA-1 Navigator All-Cu, 1m, $405, for $260<br />
ORDER: ANA-2 Navigator All-Cu, 2m, $495 for $350<br />
ORDER: ANAB-1 Navigator balanced, 1m, $675, for $475<br />
ORDER: AMI-1, 1 meter Mavros, $1195, for $895<br />
ORDER: AMI-2, 2 meter Mavros, $1895, for $1495<br />
Even more<br />
astonishing: the<br />
110LP includes<br />
much of the 310LP<br />
technology, still<br />
offers MM/MC,<br />
but costs only a<br />
fraction. Lively and<br />
musical, it’s difficult to match.<br />
ORDER: Moon 110LP, $599 (silver, black if desired)<br />
Special price on interconnect, one per 110LP order.<br />
ORDER AQS-1, Kit ,1 m Quadstar, $124.95, for $59.95<br />
ORDER AQS-1A, Fully assembled Quadstar, $199.95, for $99.95<br />
NOTE: The Moon preamps are shipped set for moving magnet<br />
setting. We’ll reset it to your specification so you won’t have to.<br />
LP RECORD CLEANER<br />
Concentrated cleaner for LP vacuum cleaning machines.<br />
Much safer than some formulas we’ve seen! Half litre, mix with<br />
demineralized or distilled water to make 4 litres.<br />
ORDER: LPC, $19.95<br />
EXSTATIC RECORD BRUSH<br />
The Super<br />
Exstatic. Includes<br />
a hard velvet pad<br />
to get into the<br />
grooves, two sets<br />
of carbon fibre<br />
tufts. We use it every time!<br />
ORDER: GSX record brush, $36<br />
MoFi WET/DRY BRUSH<br />
The Super Exstatic (shown<br />
above) is the best dry<br />
brush we know, but if<br />
your LP needs a wash and<br />
you don’t have a vacuum<br />
machine handy, this<br />
is the one to have in<br />
hand. Dampen it with a<br />
good record-cleaning fluid<br />
like our own LPC.<br />
ORDER: MFB record brush, $36<br />
ORDER: MFB plus LPC (4-litres), $46<br />
ORDER: Replacment kit for MFB, $36<br />

MORE ANALOG…<br />
TITAN STYLUS LUBRICANT<br />
Amazing, but true: dabbing<br />
a bit of this stuff on your<br />
stylus every 2 or 3 LPs makes<br />
it glide through the groove<br />
instead of scraping. Fine artist’s brush not included, but readily<br />
available in many stores.<br />
ORDER: TSO-1 Titan stylus oil, $39.95<br />
ZEROSTAT ANTISTATIC PISTOL<br />
A classic<br />
adjunct to a<br />
record brush<br />
is the Zerostat<br />
anti-static gun,<br />
especially in dry weather. Squeeze<br />
the trigger and release: it ionizes the<br />
air, which becomes conductive and<br />
drains off the static charge. By the<br />
way, it works for a lot more than<br />
LP’s. No batteries needed. Good for LPs, jamming printers, and<br />
anywhere static is a problem.<br />
ORDER: Z-1 Zerostat antistatic pistol, $94.95<br />
LP SLEEVES<br />
Keep your records clean and<br />
scratch free. Replace dirty, torn<br />
or missing inner sleeves with<br />
quality Mobile Fidelity sleeves,<br />
at an attractive price.<br />
ORDER: MFS, package of 50<br />
sleeves, $30<br />
VINYL ESSENTIALS TEST LP<br />
This precision-made German test record <strong>let</strong>s you check out<br />
channel identification, correct phase, crosstalk, the tracking<br />
ability of your cartridge (it’s a tougher test than the old Shure disc<br />
was) and the resonance of your tone arm and cartridge. When we<br />
need to test a turntable, this is the one we reach for.<br />
ORDER: LP 003, Image Hifi Test LP, $48.95<br />
CLEANER POWER<br />
ENACOM LINE FILTER<br />
Economy price, but astonishingly effective, we wouldn’t run our<br />
system with less. It actually shorts out the hash on the power line.<br />
ORDER: Currently out of stock<br />
THORENS TURNTABLES<br />
