| New batch of Albert Porter's cryo treated Hubbells Arnie, Stephen and the others at Audiogon. Thanks for supporting us in this venture. Without your help, we would have never achieved the numbers necessary to get these discounts. | |
| NEW MUSIC I have one original Stockhausen LP, cannot find it right now but I think it is four orchestras and youth choir.I believe his work was influenced by Edgar Varese. I have two Varese, both conducted by Robert Craft. I bought these on Columbia LP, rel... | |
| Aesthetix Question Good question Rushton. I owned a Benz Ruby 2 before the Koetsu, it had an output of only .3 MV. Therefore, my experience is more similar than different with these two cartridges. I have not experimented with a high output cartridge, but considerin... | |
| Aesthetix Question From your friend that is (apparently) getting out of analog. We were glad to get that Io. It only needed a little work to make it the best Louis has ever heard. Total cost of the magic mods, including the NOS tubes was $330.00. Tube upgrades on my... | |
| Aesthetix Question Louis is a newcomer to my music group. He has been listening with us for about two months and in that time I've visited his home several times to help with improving his system.His components when we began were the ARC Ref 2 Mk 2 preamp, Manley St... | |
| Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon? I own more jazz than any other kind of music. From Lee Morgan on Blue Note (1950's) to Paul Motian and Gonzalo Rubalcaba last year. There are so many great Jazz artists, it's impossible to listen to them all.I must also allow time for rock and rol... | |

A recent visitor to my music group brought a Classic Records RCA repress that he had cleaned with his VPI machine and Disc Doctor fluid. We had been playing my LP's (which are all cleaned with RR fluid)... | |
| Anyone have any experience with in-wall speakers? You may have answered your own question:I don't need the last word in audiophile quality for the office.If you purchase good quality in wall speakers you will get good sound. If you use your office as I do, you may find it difficult to discuss bus... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize Busics2, that actually works out to less than .86¢ per CD. Unless you're totaling the purchase price of the CD plus the cost of treatment. | |
| What song says something about you? Detlof, Kinky couldn't possibly offend us Texans with a mere song. We've already weathered, "Dallas," with JR. "Walker Texas Ranger," a martial arts cowboy. "Barney," the purple dinosaur with an attitude. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" blood and gore a... | |
| An arm to live with for years to come I've owned that same turntable and tried several arms, but not the ones your considering. Based on my experience with that table and listening to tonearms in many other situations, I would go with the SME IV or V (of the ones you list). If you wan... | |
| Predictions about effects of new feature When someone posts after you, the option goes away. | |
| Do cartridges need warm-up? It is a electro mechanical device just as speakers are. A little warm up period generally helps. I have owned at least a dozen moving coil cartridges and the time required to reach maximum performance varied from brand to brand. For instance, my B... |
