| What parts of a TT create soundstage and PRAT ? What kind of clothing do you wear to "work undercover?"Maybe Tim the Tireguy should be asking about this. | |
| Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers? The Avalon Diamonds were driven at CES by Tenor or Lamm. Sound there and with Kharma Midi and Rockport were the rooms that stood out. All three were using Tenor or Lamm and all with Audio Aero CD players driving the amps direct, if I remember corr... | |
| What brand outlet for dedicated lines? Based on this thread and a couple of emails, we have (maybe) 15 outlets spoken for. When we did this last time, I bought 14 for myself, so getting to the 50 minimum was easy.Yes, the price stays the same, $36.00 for the outlet, cryo treatment, and... | |
| Audiophile Artwork? Posters? Anything? You might call Antique Electronic Supply in Arizona. They don't list posters in their catalog, but they buy huge lots of discontinued tube stocks, perhaps there are catalog covers, books and display materials they would be willing to sell.For shee... | |
| PayPal Question. Complaints from the above Audiogon members (and in previous threads) are exactly why I am hesitant to trust PayPal. If they did it to them, they will do it to me. | |
| MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns? Lugnut, you might look for something used. Mine was built by Kisiki and is labeled Audioquest. It is at least 14 years old and still going strong.

| PayPal Question. I refused PayPal my bank info when I signed up. That's the simplest way to avoid this kind of problem. Then If they refuse payment via credit card, you and the seller can make other arrangements.Aside from the free interest your card offers, you p... | |
| MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns? Cpdunn, if you are concerned with momentary loss of performance in order to reach a goal of excellent performance after a short break in period, I suggest you not clean interconnects, speaker wires or ever shut down any of your gear.There is no fr... | |
| Which would you rather have? I would not choose either one, given the wide range of options available in the $4,000.00 range. Limited to just these two, I would go with the Energy Veritas. | |
| MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns? I use a Kisiki de mag on my Koetsu Rosewood, just as I did with my (previous) Benz Ruby 2.Moving coil cartridges do not require treatment as frequently as moving magnet designs. No more than 20 seconds of de magnetism every two to three months is ... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Here is the trick. I started with a two seater Ferrari GT 212, all aluminum body and wire wheels. When the original 12 cylinder engine spun a crank, the previous owner decided to build a less expensive 301 cubic inch small block Chevy with ported ... | |
| Linear tracking arms These two guys have it right. Having been an owner of two Graham arms and now using a state of the art air bearing linear, I agree with everything that has been said.It is more difficult and parts intensive (pumps, hoses, regulators, gauges, etc.)... | |

| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? I say we all get into Lugnut's car, drive to everyone's home who posted here, and listen for at least one day. Everyone is welcome to visit my home and audition my single driver speaker. Unfortunately mine requires at least 50 watts to operate and... | |
| Where to find new vinyl There are (often) twice as many LP's in the 45 RPM sets, some are even single side pressings. This explanation does not apply to all releases, but certainly to some that I recently purchased.Glad you found some of the music you've been searching for. |
