| Cleaning and Maintenance of Connections..... Learsfool, I find that any time I disturb the cables with my cleaning, the sound always becomes a bit brighter (perhaps abrasive was too strong a word) and less dimensional. Once the cables settle (typically a few days), the sound improves. | |
| "Paper Airplane" I just saw AKUS station live here in Calgary a week ago, and it was a magical experience! I had always thought that she should go fully solo, but after watching their performance, I now understand why they've been together 21 years! The synergy of... | |
| Harmonic Tech Pro AC-11 vs Acoustic Zen Tsunami I've heard both power cords, and between the two, would prefer the HT Pro AC11. I found the Tsunami to be far too warm. The Audience PowerChord is also an all-round good performer. | |
| I need new music.... Eleanor McEvoy, Rachael Sage...both are good....and to the person that suggested kd lang, the 'Songs from the 49th Parallel' is amazing!calgarian | |
| Natalie Merchant's Tigerlily on LP...any good? Thanks for your feedback guys....It looks like I may have to order the LP version of Tigerlily. Gary, when I meet you at one of your meetings, I'll certainly take you up on your offer!calgarian | |
| Are Rotel amps and preamps any good? Rotel has exceptional customer service. I believe their amplifiers are built robustly and perform like workhorses with a robust and rather forward sound. Unfortunately, my experience with their preamps only tested how good their service and custom... | |

| Jennifer Warnes 20th Anniversary Fam Blue Raincoat Well...I finally got my copy of the 20th Anniversary edition, and it definitely sounds more dynamic top to bottom; micro-details are more apparent(similar to switching from copper to silver speaker cables)...and Jennifer's voice is more forward an... | |
| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? Thanks for everyone's comments. I was hoping that this thread would not turn into one of those battles about how the last six feet of a power cord to a component can possibly make a difference. I'm sure everyone is tired of those threads. Frankly,... | |
| What could be wrong? Thanks for everyone's responses. I figured out what was wrong. It appears the connection from the cartridge to the tonearm cable was the culprit. When I originally attached the very thin tonearm leads to the pins on the cartridge, I just slipped t... | |
| What could be wrong? Update...I changed the turntable connection to a different input on my linestage preamp and there was no change; the right channel was still much louder than the left. I then swapped the left/right channels from the tonearm cable to my phono pream... | |
| Turntable lamp? I think you can get the big, bulky clamp-on LED BBQ lamp from Williams Sonoma as well. I myself, have the Littlite...and it's far more compact, but yes, it's not cheap.calgarian | |

| Cables for B&W 805S Au24 goes very well with B&W's....I previously owned a pair of B&W CM2 Concept 90 speakers...and it matched very well. The AU24 smoothed out the slight edginess of the B&W metal dome tweeter.Calgarian |
