| Who are Kip Doppler? Kip and the Silent Terminators were the men and women who built/terminated George Cardas's cables. George also had recorded Kip and released an LP or two on the Cardas label, if memory serves. I can't believe that this thread was left unanswered o... | |
| Walker turntable tonearm damping fluid? I've been using a 45% mixture of Joe Gibbs XP2 Synthhetic Racing oil (Typical viscosity is 0-20W), 45% Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer, and 10% Lucas Lucas Fuel Treatment oil on my Maplenoll. Your mileage may vary. :) | |

| Great MONO recordings Many of Rudy Van Gelder's early Stereo mixes were hard pans with little center fill, which is a distraction to me, an annoyance. So I sought the Mono version Blue Notes, Prestige Records, etc. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Albert: I'll never, ever forget those incredible analog photos of yours, featuring various Benz cartridges for Garth of Musical Surroundings. That was way back when I'd first met you. You had these cartridges blown up to somewhere around 20 or 24 ... | |

| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Clio09 (Tony): Paul has heard from a number of TRL Family members that one or two of the well known tube vendors have raised their price upon word that Paul switched to the 12 volt variety.
