Whether you have an amp, preamp or CDP, or multitudes of both - a nice fan is a requirement during summer months.

Who knew you could find a fan that could match your speakers AND your gear??

    Haha, yeah - but heck it was 85 degrees in my room the other night. Talk about uncomfortably hot for a 10.5x10.5 room??

    Haha - you guys are a riot. lol

    Is it quiet?

    Id say at full speed - its probally at about the volume of someone softly talking....

    you can easily drown it out with a little music or something of the sort.

    But in my small room, speed 1 is pretty significant shift in temperature, much less 3.

    Compared to a massive 12" fan or something Ive had in here before - its far quieter in air movement and general operation.

    Having a remote and a timer is a neat trick too... and some time of Ion thingy.

    You got that right. No sooner than I take a record just cleaned off the 16.5, and carry it over to the turntable I can see bits of dust flying through the air trying to attach themselves to the record. Then I have to us the ion gun to get rid of the static and then have to run the carbon fiber brush across the just cleaned record. . uh it can be exhuasting but it is worth every bit of work once that record starts to play.

    And for the record my wife is a clean freak so no dirty house jokes!!!

    I have thingy too. when ION something my thingy becomes a door-knocker

    Joe the 16.5 puts static on the record, you need a watts preener or some such brush.

    My room stays pretty much spotless...

    Granted if a pen falls on the floor - that would limit your walking area about 80% ;)

    Yea I hear living in a washing machine cardboard box is hard to do.....you should try to upgrade to a refrigerator box.

    You should start building your furniture with ladders and walkways over it this way you can keep expanding. :p

    I've used the Watts Preener and like it. I prefer the Hunt brush better though.

    Also, if you are using the VPI brush, pitch it. Get the MFSL brush. It's MUCH better.

    We have air conditioning...

    My room is usually about 5-10 degrees hotter in than the rest of the house though...

    Its a blessing in the winter and a torture in the summer :)

    I use the VPI brush to apply two of the four fluids, I then finish with the MFSL brush with the final fluid.

    Watss Preener & Hunt brushes. Are these used during the wet / vac process or when the record is on the turntable ready to be played?

    I have a carbon fibre brush (the spelling is correct) that I received from a fellow from Canada. I use it when the record is on the table. What I want to know is do the preeners get rid of the static on the record on the turntable? That is where my problem lies after I use the carbon fibre brush. It causes static and this static discharge manifest themselves as ticks and pops. How I know this is that when listening to a record I hear the ticks and pops in certain places. When I listen again, those ticks and pops are not there. . . mostly rainy days when the air is full of moisture.
