PRODUCT
NEWS: Step 4 High Resolution Rinse
& Step 4 Brush
the
newest addition to the Prelude record-cleaning line up
Our
new Prelude Step 4 is a special high resolution rinse that is the final
step in the Prelude record cleaning process. It gets down deeper into
the grooves and removes any remaining contaminants. The improvement in
the sound is startling. We never expected this much improvement was
possible. It is amazing how much information an LP contains.
You
could spend much, much (10x) more money and time on other aspects of
your system and never get this level of improvement. We guarantee your
satisfaction and believe you will be thrilled with the results.
If you want everything an LP can give you, you must try Prelude Step 4
as part of your record-cleaning process.
Prelude
Quartet: If you do not already
have any of our Prelude products, try Prelude Quartet. This is our
Deluxe kit (three Steps and three brushes) plus the new Step 4 (16oz)
and Step 4 brush. $185.00
Step
4 with Step 4 brush: $45.00
Step
4 only: $30.00

audiophile between
keeping his Porsche or "the very best vinyl playback system (he'd)
ever heard ..."  At
right, David stands beside his Walker turntable system holding the
license plate of his Porsche 928 GT. The sports car is shown in the
insert. He says, "Selling my car was the price I paid

"The results are
crystal clear and as smashing as a sucker punch...
the combination of the Prelude
and the Talisman are absolutely the best vinyl cleaning and destat/demag
system that I've heard to
date. And "to date"
goes back some twenty years now...
"To
listen to an album—then
clean and treat it—and then listen again within 4-5 minutes and
realize that it was a fundamentally different audio experience—was
almost enough to give me vertigo. That lasts for a few seconds
…then you start smiling like a bloody idiot who's been hit with a
magical mystery tour.
"Another
startling fact: I hear a very clear improvement even when I use the
Prelude/Talisman combination on LPs that have been cleaned with
competing systems...LPs
treated by all other contenders were obviously enhanced by the one-two
punch of the Prelude and the Talisman.
"Don't
assume that you can get by with one or the other all by itself.
The
Prelude gets the noise floor, resolution and clarity right; the Talisman
removes a kind of grunge or muzziness …that vague haze…that LPs can
develop. I
wouldn't want the one without the other; the combination of excellencies
is addicting to anyone who treasures their vinyl.
"Conclusion:
If you want
the best LP
cleaning and treatment system for your LPs that you can find, the
Prelude Record
Cleaning System and the Talisman are alone at the top o' the heap." |
