Hi-Fi in Bay Area?
Agreed...to agree to disagreeEnjoy the music! 
Hi-Fi in Bay Area?
I am not pissed at Brian, as you so eloquently put it Kurt, though you seem to be pissed at me. You will note that I said that I have been there many times and if the treatment were ALWAYS rude, that would not be the case, I assure you. Further no... 
Hi-Fi in Bay Area?
OK, OK, before you Analog Room lovers jump down my back, think about what I've said. You know it can be true. I have visited there many, many times so I do know of where I speak and suggest that, while a decent place in some instances and for some... 
Hi-Fi in Bay Area?
I would stick to the SF places Jimmymac mentions, initially.True Sound is located in Campbell, near San Jose. Nick Gowan's main claim to fame is as a tehnical wizard - master of component repair. He also sells some components out of his VERY small... 
Removing the lid of your amp/preamp
Tube pre-amp is fine to remove lid. Solid State amp is a very bad idea. The SS amp bias is set according to temperature. Remove the lid and the amp will be all over the map in regards to stability/performance due to too much heat loss.This gave me... 
Bowling alley lane wood for component tables?
Use boards from the left side of the alley, they will be less worn. :-) 
Where will devotees of Audio Intelligent turn.....
I am simply stating an opinion, as have many others. For the record, I have purchased this stuff and compared it rather extensively, as I have virtually every other commercially made record cleaning products. It simply does not measure up, in my e... 
Does anyone remember Ohm I speakers?
I refurbished a pair of C2's a couple years ago and they are really just as excellent in comparison to many of the newest speakers as I remembered them back in the day when new. 
Where will devotees of Audio Intelligent turn.....
RRL and Buggtussel have worked best for me.If by your question you are seeking a fluid to use on occasion for the dirtiest of LP's or one with mold that is effective, safe, and is fully removed without repeated rinses - AND an everyday cleaner for... 
Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp?
Wow, the title of the post says "are there any" and there has been almost one different suggestion per post. Guess the answer is yes, there are high-end integrateds, but good luck narrowing down a list of several dozen! ;-) 
New Phantom Bearing
Does the level of the damping fluid in the Phantom have as great an effect on performance as it does with the 2.2? Just wondering as I had a chance to buy a Phantom a short while ago and may again. 
Lenco 75 versus Garrard 301?
Lest anyone think Jlin is demented, I made a post stating that, among other things, an arm such as the Reference was not at all necessary, but it was deleted. No conspiracy, though, it was self-deleted because I wrote before realizing that I'd rat... 
Lenco 75 versus Garrard 301?
Personally, I prefer the L78 if one is going to retain the original speed control handle and/or on/off switch handle, and platter mat. Otherwise they are the same, except for the auto return feature, which I dispense with, anyway.I am one of a gro... 
Classical Football background Music
"Autumn Thunder" is the 10 CD set to which EMH refers. Surprisingly, it was also made available on 5 vinyl LP's. 
Classical Football background Music
EMH - That might be it, though I'm not sure I want to "invest" in 10 CD's of that music (or any music) to find out! Thanks. Given that this is probably what music was used, I hereby apologize to "classical" music lovers everywhere.
