ROR for CD
Yes, I use this product and it works on EVERYTHING.I use it on CD's, my computer monitor, my reading glasses and of course my camera lenses. Being a professional photographer I have used ROR for over 10 years now. I just ordered a counter display ... 
Have you ever changed non-detachable poewer cord?
I installed a strain relief plug and direct soldered an after market cable into my Sound Valves amps. Even though they serve my home theatre system, it was a nice improvement.I added a IEC to my television so I could experiment with cables and to ... 
MUSIC THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE
My post should read:MUSIC THAT SERVED AS MARKERS IN MY LIFE.I hear certain songs and they BELONG to a specific moment. Listed in somewhat the order they occurred at a moment in my life that I cannot forget."Jailhouse Rock," Elvis"Like a Rolling St... 
How long do you keep a component?
The shortest time was a very expensive D to A converter. Lasted only a few days. Next worse was one of the newest ultra high end preamps, it lasted only three weeks before passing it on and returning to the bliss of my Aesthetix.The longest runnin... 
Have you ever changed non-detachable poewer cord?
Cornfed, everyone knows that story. What you may not know is Purple Hayes by Jimi Hendrix is dedicated to the memory of Gabby Hayes and salutes his efforts to bring high end sound to middle America.As for Trigger, he was not actually stuffed. He w... 
Your next state-of-the art speaker s ??? :-
For those who's residence shares a wall with a neighbor, this device is going to have the police at your door before the first cut finishes.Guess you could attach it to the glass in the police car on the way to the station. 
How many levels are there?
Bishopwill, we already had Lev's, just call Mark and ask him. He will probably tell you that Lev's are the ultimate measurement in audio :^) 
Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century?
Tweekerman, perhaps my political correctness in protecting newer cone speaker designs was too much. I cannot imagine a better speaker than Soundlab, and only wonder how much better they can be in the next version.If you could hear Ultimate One Sou... 
Is it really possible?
I bought the ART about a month ago for $121.00 from Full Compass.com. I sent it to an audio tech who did a new power supply transformer and installed two IC sockets, making future IC upgrades consumer installable. He also replaced nine rectifiers ... 
Mark Levinson Owners - Camac Connector Info
I don't personally need these, but this is TERRIFIC information for the Audiogon community. Information that solves a problem and saves money.Thanks for the post. 
Have you ever broken the needle?
Herman, it could be worse, especially when it's deliberate damage.Have you ever seen a cat sitting in the middle of the platter of a Versa Dynamics turntable, chewing away the "fine as hair" tone arm wires and pressure hose?My son remarked. "Gee, ... 
Live or Recorded; A Faustian response
I agree Sdcampbell. I put out the word that I wanted to see Ella Fitzgerald, Bill Evans and Billie Holliday in concert. No one has come up with any tickets yet. I couldn't even score Jimi Hendrix tickets, and I know a guy at a local radio station... 
Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century?
Cone driver systems have evolved more in the last 20 years than planar speakers have. I am a Soundlab guy, and 20 years ago there was NO cone speakers that could touch Soundlab.After hearing the new Kharma and Avalons at CES, I would say it is now... 
cable cooker, do they work?
So Ramond, back to the topic of this thread.Yes, cable cookers do work. 
Amused To Death and Avalon Opus
Go with Cornfeds suggestion. Amused to Death is one of my favorite LP's, but I would not use a dogs bark to set up an expensive set of speakers.As already stated, if that makes the dog appear behind you instead of to your right, then so be it. Jus...
