| Best 10 speaker cable for 250 ?? Used Cardis Hex or Purist Audio Maximus or Colossis. Both can be found at fairly reasonable prices used, but of course depends on age and length of the run. | |
| Cable Supenders - Anyone Try Vibrapods? Alexc, that is actually not a bad idea. I hope someone has tried this and will respond. The Vibrapods are a bargain in any case, and could always be used under some piece of gear if the cable test failed. | |
| Best Rainy Day music Czapp, your copy of "Acadia" by Daniel Lanois is, in my opinion, the best album he ever did. There is a later work titled "For Beauty Of Winona," where Daniel was first convinced to take voice lessons prior to the session. This made him so self co... | |
| Who is the sexiest female vocalist? Kate Bush, Jennifer Warnes, and maybe not sexy, but makes me crazy-happy due to her spirit, Bjork. | |
| Best Rainy Day music "Acadia," Daniel Lanois. "Songs for Drella," & "Magic and Loss" Lou Reed. "Bye-Bye Safe Journey, " Steve Tibbitts. "Blue" Joni Mitchell. "American Prayer," Jim Morrison, The Doors. | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Having just shipped samples of RR cleaner to both Detlof ( in Switzerland) and Sedond ( USA) , I look forward to reading comments as to the outcome of their tests. | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Jhunter. You are certainly welcome to listen here anytime you are available. Advance notice of a few days would help, and I am willing to pick you up at the airport and treat you to dinner.My reason for assuming that audio tools are not important ... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Jhunter, if you are married and I blindfold you, are you certain you can identify a kiss from your life long partner? It would make the experience even more difficult with a room full of people waiting on the outcome while you sat in darkness. May... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Sorry Brian. Of course you are right about the name change. I was one of the very first people to switch to RR fluid, having tried the home brews and name brands of the day. In fact, I gave away a gallon of a competitors cleaner after trying a sma... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Detlof, If you will e-mail me, we can exchange addresses. I have a sample bottle from the CES that normally retails for $25.00 that I will send you for free. | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Frap. Yes, the effect of the Last solution has already benefited the vinyl a few moments after application. The final wash with the Record Research fluid is a minor miracle in retaining Last's benefits, while removing the (solvent?) obscuring tona... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? I regret that I am limited to only a +2 +2 award for the above post by Jadem6. | |
| Best EL34 ? I just purchased eight of the old EL34 Mullards on EBAY for $200.00,. My current wholesale price list from New Sensor Company shows the Tesla E34 L @ $8.90 each dealer cost. This makes a total investment difference of only $128.80 for amps requiri... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Frap, I used to use the rinsing with distilled water method, and TOTALLY agree with your comments as to the sound quality improvement it provided. I now have a new method that does not benefit from this and will explain.I use Record Research deep ... | |
| Best EL34 ? Longplate has named it. I like the brown and black base Mullards with double getters (hole in locator pin) the best. Second would be the AEG Telefunken, the single getter Mullard and the Old Dutch Amperex. The old Amperex are very good, but do not... |
