| Cryo-treating CDs? El, maybe one or both those treatments helps the CD player "read" the ones and zero's, and therefore reproducing the music more as it was intended. | |
| Magnets on cables? You guys are all correct about God and Satan, but as for magnets, my understanding is they form a field around the wire sapping off RF and EMI.Depending on how much problem was there to begin with, it's possible for the magnets to help, although m... | |
| Cryo-treating CDs? A friend who's opinion I respect, has experimented with both Cryo and demag treatment of his CD's and reports great benefit sonically. He says it improves smoothness and textures while making everything more cohesive. I have not tried this myself,... | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? Styx,Although I have to admit that I am very pleased with the reissues from Classic Records. Not so with the condition of the LPs.Are you saying the LP's you have from Classic Records are not satisfactory? If so, I am surprised. The ones I have ar... | |
| Marantz 8B, best tubes to use ?? How about the original tube for this amp? Mullard EL 34 XF1 or XF2. Problem is cost, both tend to be very expensive if new in box. | |

| Installing Bucket Magnets What's wrong with shielding instead of adding the bucking magnets?My understanding is the TI (Texas Instruments) FerriShield works to resolve this issue and it can be cut and pasted into the speaker cabinet without fear of harming the components o... | |

| Pat Metheny - One Quiet Night I have the album released just before this one (on LP) Sassy Samba. From your description sounds like similar material. Anyone know? I might search out "One Quiet Night". | |
| tube amplifier auto bias- accurate? I agree that auto bias is a good thing, I had very positive experience with the amps I owned. As for tube testers, the B&K 707 or 747 are decent and can usually be had cheap at EBAY. Best of all they are transistor and need little or no calibr... | |
| Which is better treatment - Caig ProGold / SST? I have not tried the Quick Silver yet but can confirm the original Walker SST was excellent and the new Extreme SST is even better. For me the Walker treatment was an immediate improvement in sound and it got better as it broke in.The first place ... | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? The problem comes from blanket statements that infer that ALL vinyl playback is noisy, contains pops that "must be listened through" and that the bass is summed and therefore "inferior" somehow.All that talk about defects would lead a newcomer to ... | |
| Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth Fishboat: recently picked up a copy of "Into the Labyrinth"....wonderful CD. While listening to the last cut (sorry, last track)on the CD my mind sort of wandered a bit & I thought I was listening to Jim Morrison for a moment. There are hints ... | |
