| Class Action Suit against UPS? I have not had the problems that Soupcon has had. In the South, where I live, UPS is almost guaranteed to lose or destroy any fragile shipment that they handle. By contrast, I have had 4 pair of mono amps (8 boxes!) and three tube shipments sent v... | |
| Stylus Cleaners? Sdcampbell, I too use the LAST record preservative, and have for many years now. I find that if after LAST is applied, if you rewash the LP, there are contaminates that are dislodged by the action of the preservative. The final wash removes them, ... | |
| Upgrade Time Again.... please help Dan, all of the amps you are considering are excellent quality. If Wolcott is not for you, then the Lamm would be my first choice. I have heard most of these products, and although the Rowland is terrific, particularly considering your speakers pr... | |
| Stylus Cleaners? Rcprince, no I have not had the opportunity to try the Needle Nectar. I have used several other brands, and all of them are much better than leaving the stylus dirty, but I really did hear an improvement in resolution and imaging after my fist goo... | |
| Upgrade Time Again.... please help I am for the Wolcott mono blocs as well. Not only does this amp have the midrange that you want, the control of the bass is adjustable with a switch and dial on the rear. This is not black magic, but rather a direct intervention into the feedback ... | |
| Stylus Cleaners? I have used the Record Research LP#9 cleaner with great success. I examined the diamond and cantilever of my Koetsu Rosewood Platinum, using a 20 power magnification, and cannot see any build up or problems at all. This has been my exclusive clean... | |
| anyone with a 'system' near me? I am almost embarrassed to post here now, considering some the comments made before me. Actually, I think Audiojerry is completely normal in his quest to learn from others. I have an audio group that has met almost without fail, every Tuesday even... | |
| long interconnect cable suggestions? You did not state whether you need single ended or balanced for this run. If you are using true balanced, the impedance would be 600 ohms, and technically may be run almost any length, from any good manufacturer. If you are using a single ended (R... | |
| Who 'won' the show at CES John, sorry, I did not notice. I can call one of my friends at ARC and find out if you wish. I do not own Vandys or ARC products, but think they really had their "stuff" together at this showing. Really great sound for a CES. By the way, they were... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? I am certainly one of the most dedicated analog guys at this site, but the new Sony 9000ES, that will play DVD movies with progressive scan output, CD and SACD for about $1100.00 puts real pressure on me to buy one. The opportunity to purchase a t... | |
| Who 'won' the show at CES Audio Research had an "off campus" showing at the Gold Nugget, using their gear, SME turntable and Vandersteen model 5 speakers. I thought it and the Soundlab, Purist Audio Wolcott exhibit at T.H.E. show were the two best sounds. | |
| What time do you wear? I was a Rolex President guy for many years, and as stated above by another poster, began to see way too many of what I owned. Four years ago, I sold the Rolex, and bought an Omega Titanium Seamaster. Yes there are smaller, lighter watches, but thi... | |
| Cheap SACD Player or wait for DVD Audio? I think a position has been overlooked. I am basically a very high end analog guy that plays my CD's on a Sony 7700 DVD/CD player. The reason I bought this unit in the first place was to watch movies. The CD player is a bonus, and although it will... | |
| Who R U? Vetgonpunk@aol.com, I clearly remember when I was your age and discovered my perfect amp. My only advise to you is to enjoy your youth, the music, and your friends. Hopefully some of which will be females who like the same tunes you do. You are al... | |
| Avantgarde Uno Loudspeakers: Comments? Khry, you are someone else who hears the same sound from these speakers as I do. I have heard these at three CES shows, and although the show is no place to make a final decision, I did not hear enough of what I wanted to pursue it further. I do p... |
