| Counterpoint SA-3.1 and 5.1 I have owned at least nine pieces of gear designed and built by Mike Elliott, and as I have posted in other topics here at Audiogon, they are among the best the industry has to offer. All audio equipment has a sonic signature. Assuming you are ple... | |

| Electrostatic or Dynamic Any of you Audiogon guys that are coming through the Dallas/ Ft. Worth Airport, that can work your schedule to have an extra evening, I would be willing to come pick you up to listen here. If you want to meet the entire group, Tuesday evening is t... | |

| Blu-Tack where to Buy? I think the product you need is Fun*Tak. This is manufactured by DAP, the people who make all the drywall and caulk products. Fun*Tak comes in a see through blister pack, with about 1 oz. (28 grams) of material for a couple of bucks. If you need h... | |
| Counterpoint SA-3.1 and 5.1 Kitch, I doubt that these are dead, most likely people hang on to them because they sound too good to sell for what they will fetch. Mike Elliott, the owner and head designer of Counterpoint has a web site. You might visit there and see if anyone ... | |
| Bi-wiring mishap Snooker14. No thank goodness, I was only required to read it. I had to go to reference material for this post, as I knew I could not quote it accurately. I was annoyed at the direction of this topic, as many members thought there was a real call f... | |
| Cryogenic Tempering Elgordo, I did not know about your hobby of shooting. It is one of mine too. I have a Schuman bull barrel fitted in my Carter Custom 1911 that has been cryo treated. Cryo was done prior to fitting and other work, so I did not get to run a before a... | |
| Cryogenic Tempering Kelly, the cartridge I got treated was done by a guy in Chicago ( I usually use Purist Audio ) who specializes in very small delicate pieces. The cartridge was a Benz Ruby 2, supplied by Musical Surroundings as an experiment. I do the photography ... | |
| best cool looking exposed tube for 2500 Any amp that uses EL34's outputs can be fitted with the E34L Tesla. These are available in either blue or red glass envelope. I recently bought a set of these in the blue glass, to try in my Wolcotts. They are certainly beautiful, and the Tesla is... | |
| Cryogenic Tempering I am a believer in Cryo, having done this to cables, phono cartridge and the power supply of my Soundlab U-1's. I think that the excellent suggestion by Sugarbrie would be an inexpensive way to find out on your own piece of gear. Just keep in mind... | |
| What temperature is your cartridge????? Ohlala, Right! It is dual purpose, thank goodness the sonics did not require the fitting of a fluorescent bulb, as the light from them is not near as pretty. ( Not to mention the noise they radiate ). | |
| Music to test systems The answer would probably depend on my mood. Limited to five, and pressed to choose right now, the list is below:(1) Joni Mitchell "Hejira' Asylum 7E 1087(2) Charlie Haden "Closeness" A&M SP-710(3) Roger Waters "Amused to Death" Columbia LC016... | |
| What temperature is your cartridge????? I was passed along this same information by Mr. Breuer of Switzerland, when I was bringing his product into the USA, around 1980. He claimed that his cartridge (a heavily modified EMT ) would not produce accurate bandwidth, unless there was a lamp... | |
