This is to demonstrate the difference in speed between using Sattva Descreen Plugin on Windows PC's with traditional x86 processors vs Apple Silicon on MacOS. This is not meant to be a scientific comparison between the 2 platforms, but only to validate the claim that Descreen on Apple Silicon is con...

I had a disc that had a nasty radial scratch on it that caused 3 songs to fail EAC ripping. I had got the CD for half of what it normally cost (high dollar CD), so I wasn't totally surprised when it arrived. I got a JFJ Easy Pro which promises to be able to fix scratched discs. For polishing CD's th...

After accidently leaving the system on several times, I can confidently say the batteries shown above will give about 30 hours of runtime before needing a charge

The standard AT3600L is conical. And the LP Gear CFN3600LE is elliptical. Online commentary says that elliptical should be able to recover higher frequency better. And if so, will this show up in the frequency content of a recording? I decided to try it out. And unfortunately, at best I saw no disce...

Yep! Just put your 45 adaptor on the rod. Place the album on the spindle. Remove the adaptor and then put the label protector and clamp it together. The grooves on a 45 and 33 end at about the same physical distance from the center of the disc (in my experience so far). So you can even use the same ...

I have a generic ultrasonic machine with a 10L tank. It's a little deeper (front to back) than the more popular 6.5L size. The tank size is 300x240x150 (in millimeters). This means there is normally unused space in front of the record holder. This is an extension using common hardware parts to allow...

Characteristics I was looking for The CD's must stand on the spine, so that I can read them while in the box. One single row of CD's per box Must be able ...
