56 THE AUDIOPHILE STORE<br />

SILVER SOLDER<br />

This is a lovely solder, from the<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 />

AND GOLDRING CARTRIDGES<br />

AVAILABLE ON LINE<br />
