SRM Say….
We are a small business based in Biggleswade England, committed to the advancement of vinyl playback. We remain convinced that the only choice for high quality domestic replay is the LP record, with alternative digital sources sounding two dimensional and lacking in fine detail.
In our website you will find products which we have developed over the past eight years – all designed to increase your enjoyment of the LP record.
Contact-Z Contact Cleaner:
This is aerospace quality fluid with which you should clean the cartridge pins, headshell connections, arm cable connector and phono plugs. Incredibly effective in this situation as you are dealing with very low-level signals, and any contaminates on these surfaces will seriously degrade sound quality. 10ml bottle, complete with six cotton buds and a pipe cleaner – ideal for cleaning the inside surfaces of phono sockets. There is enough in the bottle to clean all the connections in your system – even speaker and mains plugs benefit.
Turntable Belt and Drive System Cleaning Fluid:
Pure Gold – this fluid is specially formulated to clean and degrease these crucial parts of the turntable. If the drive system of the turntable is contaminated it will cause belt slippage which manifests itself as dynamic wow. This type of wow is not necessarily noticeable as pitch instability, but it causes ‘smearing’ of transient detail, making the deck sound lifeless and lacklustre. Grease gets on to the belt every time you handle it, building up around the motor pulley and the sub-platter or platter rim. This fluid should be used regularly to keep the turntable drive system in perfect order, allowing your deck to sound as dynamic as the day it was built.
Ultimate Turntable Main Bearing Oil:
If your turntable has not had a service for a few years it needs an oil change! This is the best bearing oil available – known to Audiophiles as ‘Black Oil’ it contains Molybdenum Disulfide and Graphite. Suitable for all turntables, this makes the bearing quieter, more efficient and drastically reduces wear. 10ml bottle – enough for a minimum of ten oil changes.
Main Bearing Damping Ring for Rega:
This is a large Bearing Damping Ring (BDR), designed to fit tightly around the main bearing housing of Rega Turntables, just below the locking nut. Fitting the BDR is a two minute job (no glue needed), and it comes complete with instructions.
Platter Damping Ring:
This is our superb Platter Damping Ring (PDR), designed to fit tightly around the rim of the platter effectively forming a peripheral wave trap to absorb vibration / resonances / platter ‘ring’ and enhance rotational stability. This ring is 10mm deep, so it fits most turntables with glass platters perfectly, but it will fit any turntable with a standard diameter platter, providing it is at least 10mm deep. We have sold over 1000 PDR’s and the feedback has been amazing, with them working sonic magic on turntables as varied as Thorens, Roksan, Linn, Project, Ariston and Garrard. The PDR is made from a particular type and grade of rubber-like synthetic polymer, specifically selected for its damping properties at the frequencies which cause problems within LP replay systems.
