| Modify/Tweak Monster Cable HTS-2500 conditioner? The Wirewrap is effective and Bob is right on about lifting the power bar and placing "something" under it. I believe bricks are good, especially combined with something else[modeling clay or blue tac works]. I now use a cro'd VD extension cord on... | |
| Bringin' that thrift-store smell home Try this. Go to your local wal-mart and pick up those bags of cedar wood pieces[they come in different shapes and sizes]. Pick the ones you like and place them among the offending lps. You could also try fabric softener sheets[bounce] that you use... | |
| OSKAR HEIL Tweeters? I believe you're correct, Sean. I hear one of the Ess models years ago here in NS. Loved the tweeter but the woofer never mated well with the tweeter IMO. I believe UHF mag reviewed both Oscars very favourably. I believe you can view these interes... | |
| Does equipment get old? My krell pam3pre was made in 87 I believe....but I still enjoy its phono stage. I bought it second -hand in excellent condition in 98 and will probably use it until it dies. There are some great bargains out there second hand. Just be sure the com... | |
| Speakers for Ht or Audio I use newforms and they do well on both music and movies. Andrew Marshall at Audio Ideas also uses them....There are surely more speakes that will do both well.....I would think your speakers would do fine for both. If you like how they perform I ... | |

| Norah Jones LP from classicrecords.com arrived I'll always love vinyl. I'm glad the Norah Jones is sounding so good. My neices' husband and I were having a brew and listening to tunes when the rolling stones "40 licks" came up in conversation. I immedialely pulled all my stones on vinyl[very l... | |
| SACD- my intial thoughts.... Just a comment. This week our local Zellers store had a sony dream system in its flyer...yes, sacd for the masses at zellers.....Is this a sign that sacd is gaining momentum? Also, future shop on the web is cleaned out of sacd players. A friend of... | |
| Shawn Colvin anyone? "Steady on" is a great album. I have it on vinyl. Also have all her music except her last release. Love Eva Cassidy and have all of Everything But the Girl. | |
| What was your latest LP find?? Today is Sunday and Thanksgiving weekend here in Canuk land. A friend of mine from Peak Audio is dropping off about 80lps that were given to him and he wants to give them to me. He said they're mostly pop but 80 lps[in mint condition I'm told ],fo... | |
| Review: Virtual Dynamics NIte Power cord Power cord GME109. I use a VD audition on the sim4070se directly into the wall. It was major improvement. I use a cro'd vd power2 extension on the monster HTS2000 into which I plug everthing else. This improved it again. Note, Rick at VD likes his PC's run d... | |
| Copland CTA301 mkII vs. Copland CTA 305 anyone? Hi, Jwmazur. You had a Hovland before the 305? How did you find they compared? Thanks | |
| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? Try this first as I have similar floors. Buy a nice area rug you like and lay it as close to the speakers and as far out into the room as it will run. Then listen to the sibilance. Any difference? Now what are you components sitting on? Try this a... | |
| Acoustic "OVERKILL" on "Scrubs" last night? Saw it earlier in the week. It was great. Love the show. I have only heard the full band version also. | |
