Favorite CD treatment Products
Big vote for Auric Illuminator! Did a side by side with 10 CD duplicates. My wife and I treated one of each pair, shuffled pairs and did the blind test. Treated disk was clearly better every time. Not even close. At first I thought it might be mak... 
Mad Scientists Audio Nano Tweaks
I thought I had settled on my cabling but now ....Using Tellurium Q throughout. Mad Scientist Audio has me rethinking the possibility of finding ways to enhance even more. Any try the tubes caps things? They sit on top of each preamp tube. Sounded... 
Mad Scientists Audio Nano Tweaks
I had originally sent my 5 bucks off for a free sample.(two disks) They seemed to help (maybe) so I ordered the bigger "cupcakes X 2) and the tube-like thing for the main power cord for my Raven Audio tube amp. Plus they sent me two more free disk...

My son and I have spent literally $1000's with Acc4less. The prices usually do seem too good to be true. But if you know who they are and what they do, you can pick plums at great prices. The short list of purchases include super top shelf Marantz... 
Any tweaks I'm missing?
Blew another $30 bucks on more snake oil. (Specifically the Ayre Acoustics IBE CD "System Enhancement Disk") Ran it twice through, louder second time, and grabbed one of my favorite CD's Elianne Elias 'Kissed by Nature'. Sounded pretty good but di... 
Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker
Trampoline is optimum. I've built two. One for my turntable and second for SVS SB-2000 pro. They are amazing. Requires some trial and error. The tramp must end up causing item to "hover" inside rack. I've used high strength bungees but it must be ... 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
Opinions and ears do vary. Not to mention the blazing need to have a compatible unique set of kit to fit with the special demands of Klipsch heritage line.  As a totally satisfied owner of Klipsch Lascala II I can tell you first hand they are simu... 
The Raven Has Landed
QSA yellow fuse upgrade in my Nighthawk/Blackhawk mod is getting better everyday. I'm hearing so much more of everything. but here's the weird thing....sometimes the music sounds slower. Probably more relaxed somehow, reminds me of the feeling bet... 
FUSES, Finally!?
To fuse or not to fuse....well I did it, I dipped my audio toe into the fuse pool. Just bought the QSA Light Blue at a mere $71. What could I lose? I know, $71 bucks. So I was going to be the voice of reason. I slipped it in the slot and fired my ... 
Best sub for music,
Having talked myself out of "no sub is the best sub' (based on multiple sub failures) I was willing to try again based on the sheer logic of roll off on Klipsch Lascala under 50 hz. (But what can possibly be added with such a low frequency?) A LOT... 
The Raven Has Landed
And, let me add to Millercarbon's splendid Raven Blackhawk, it does get better with time and tweeks. That's why I ask about the fuses. Added an SVS sub and built bungee suspension platform which works wonderfully. And tube rolling with Blackhawk h... 
The Raven Has Landed
Just a quick question for our beloved audio guru Millercarbon.....you mentioned in passing that the QSA Blue fuse would improve my Blackhawk. Raven Audio says 3 amp slow burn 250 volt, but QSA site asks for size etc. Could you briefly pontificate ... 
Integrated Amps - another thread...
Bringing my audio experience to an entirely new level. the Raven Nighthawk Integrated tube amp is about $3000. I thought I knew what a "system" could sound like. O sure. I'd heard demo systems that blew me away here and there. But the $$$$ was bey... 
Best sub for music,
A response to "No sub is the best sub" and so I have also said....however, while we say, the cello is at 200 hz and the kettle drum can register at 110hz, the actual frequency isn't a pin point. While each instrument is most pronounced at the freq... 
As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly?
Back in the good  'ol days....when I was a junior sales rep at the "Electronic Sound" stereo store (great name, right?), I had just enough money to buy the Bang and Olufsen tangential tracking turntable. I remember (probably wrong) that I paid abo...
