Guitar Solos
As a geetarist, my favorite guitar solo was by George Harrison on Something. Clapton on While my guitar gently weeps. I also really like Steely Dan, Reelin' in the years - Elliott Randall and all of the solos that Elliot Easton did for the Cars, p... 
Laying it on the line
Roxy I said that I have a system that cost $27 that is musically satisfying and if that is your only goal that is great. I know why the Rega laser replacement sounds better. What I was getting at was that the source makes more of a difference in w...

Roxy54 - the laser is not a tweak - I just replaced the broken laser. There are no adjustments to the laser.Counterpointsa12 - probably not unless Fremer has them! But when your source extracts all the info then your system will obtain something d... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
24h365 - I sold the Silkworms many moons ago. Excellent sounding cables in a different way. You need to compare in your own system to see what works best for you. Right now I don't use any special cabiling in my system as I have turned my attentio... 
Laying it on the line
OK I put the rant up to spark some discussion. Like I said it came out of a thread I read about a reviewer’s thingie and the comments made about it. A few people who responded got it, and I also know where they disagree with me. I did that on purp... 
Conrad Johnson PV10A Mods/upgrades
Yeah Bill Thalmann charged my friend $10 per diode to upgrade his amp plus labor. The diodes cost less then $2.00 each. Gee Thanks! Upgrades are only one way to go but just swapping out parts do not mean you are getting the best out of your equipm... 
the best 'tubey amp - warm,smooth,liquid' ?
Just take any tube preamp and change the caps to oil caps so you get a warm, tube like sound. It is that simple. You can also changeout the filament resistor to adjust the voltage to the tubes and warm up the sound (relax the sond). No need to try... 
Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k?
Jeffkad, this may be late to the party but you only describe one attribute of speaker sound you are looking for. Many of the recommendations above would fit the bill. As for Daedalus sounding bright, no way. I heard Dodgealums and they sounded exc...

What's up with ads for $70,000 speakers selling
I contacted each seller and spoke with them. I purchased both speakers and used a local dealer in that country to verify them and ship them to me for a fee. I am enjoying them both now and will probably sell one pair off when I decide on which one...

Efficient Full Range Speakers
Thanks, I am not looking for the single driver speakers so my heading may be an issue. I will take a look at your recommendation and thanks for your reply. 
Rega Apollo CDP in NYC area
Hard to tell. I can repair the unit either way and will do the laser for only the part cost. Email me at vujadeaudio@optimum.netPeter 
Rega Apollo CDP in NYC area
Nobody has a Rega that they want a new laser installed for free? This would cost you over $300 to get this done. I do them all the time for local dealers. There is no obligation, brings yours by to hear the difference and if you want me to change ...
