| Line Conditioner or New Power Cords? I would try all variations. With our SET amps, I've yet to find a power conditioner that didn't smooth over the sound, and that includes $300-5000 models. Didn't like the effect at all. With a 50W push/pull triode amp, however, the high end condit... | |

| Best preamp is no preamp: always true? We have the same fancy (or as they say in the car industry, "pants") CD player as TVAD, and also find that we prefer having the preamp in the chain. It allows for better separation of the instruments, a preferable 'gain floor' as a complimentary s... | |
| Bjork-Vespertine "Selma Songs" is very good as well, the soundtrack to the film in which Bjork played the lead role, "Dancer in the Dark". Excellent film, a haunting, tragic musical about a blind woman. | |
| What cd for $1000 is best for this system? Absolutely, tell your friend to get the crossovers. I can't exaggerate the difference they made. And yes, Clio9, it was the Sony 595 I'd read about. Sounds like there are a lot of happy owners of that modded machine.Good luck,Howard | |
| What cd for $1000 is best for this system? What system, Bill?TRL is said to be excellent for the $250 Sony CDP (search the threads for the model #) + a mod cost of $550. APL mods a Marantz for $1100 total. I think you're going to get most out of the modded players.If you're speaking of Kli... | |

| Leads on mid-1960's Siemens NOS CCa 6922 tubes Be very careful about these tubes. I've purchased three pair that went bad within weeks. They became highly microphonic, and two pair popped/crackled. Two were from a very reputable dealer, who afterwards decided that his entire batch must be bad.... | |
| A few impressions from the CES/THE Shows Thanks, Jeff. Hope you had a great time at the show. | |
| What song best sums up the previous year? There are a number versions of that song, Buynow:Eric Burdon & the Animals (probably the one you refer to)Nina SimoneElvis Costello...and I'm sure there are more. | |
| A few impressions from the CES/THE Shows They were too bright for us but sounded VERY fine otherwise. I believe they’re Dean’s current favorites.Sorry for the confusion, Jeff, but is Dean the friend you mention in the beginning? If so, then who is 'us' in "they were too bright for us"? I... | |
| The best CD Player for the money So, Jazze22, what'll it be? You've had five years to decide. Whatcha gonna buy? No more silent treatment, OK? Spill your secret! | |
| What song best sums up the previous year? Wow, a lot of negative miserable people out there.Who's miserable? Vocal, perhaps. Dissatisfied with certain aspects of our nation's governance, sure. But certainly not miserable. In fact, none of the respondents spoke of being miserable. Glad to ... | |
| What song best sums up the previous year? In case anyone is interested, this is the story on Mr. O'Reilly's comments. He suggested (among other things) that the terrorists should blow up Coit Tower, which is in fact a monument to firefighters.Appreciate the attempt to balance this point,... | |
