speaker care

Forums

Would anybody like to share some tips for how to properly clean and care for older speakers? Or, link to articles that speak to the issue..

I have an early 80's pair of SS-U560's. They're great. But since they're getting up there in age, I was wondering if I can treat them to protect from getting dried out, etc. Can a substance be applied to speaker surrounds/cones to keep them in good shape and prevent drying out?

Thanks.

ELAC Miracord in need of adaptor!

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I just bought an ELAC Miracord turntable that is supplied with a 5-pin DIN plug for the amp hook-up. I need to convert this to standard phono RCA plugs. I did see some on the internet, but they were only in England. I must have picked up a European model;I know there are Miracords out there with RCA plugs on them. Should I buy and adaptor out of the country or try to splice it? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Can a better turntable create a better CD or MP3 file?

I am cleaning my LP collection and making an MP3 and a CD copy of each album. I am using an inexpensive Audio Technica turntable and I wondered if my finished MP3's and CD's would benefit from a turntable/stylus/cartridge upgrade- I am looking at the Pro-ject Debut III. Any advice would be appreciated.

Import cd

Is there much difference between U.S. made cd's and U.K. cd's. I have a friend comming to visit from U.K. and was wondering if i should get him to bring me some cd's.

Thanks for your time
