Brass speaker spikes
Call Robert at Starsound for the right thread and size.He Can be reached at 1-877-668-4332 and also ask him about the Sistrum 101 stands ( you will forget about those cones!!).Cheers Dennis 
Simaudio Moon Equinox integration problem.
Try the VD Master LE ( balanced) or a Revelation and you will not look back.All my buddies run Genesis i/c and p/c and speaker and love them.I just bought an Acoustic Revive from Brian @ Exreme Cables and it totally transformed my system.Imaging, ... 
Wadia 861 SE or 581 SE.
The 581 should sound better since it is newer and uses better digital parts although the transport mechanism is suspect to some.The current converters are a major upgrade in the 581SE and are a must if you are considering this player.I don't think... 
Intergrated amp for Totem Sttaf
Sim 1-5 would fit the bill nicely. I think your concern about your son is very valid and feel that the Sim is better ( if you want true to source sound without the bloom of tubes). That being said a good tube amp can be addicting for the price poi... 
Ayre K1xe vs. Simaudio P7, P8
I second ArkioI am very familiar with Sim and find the sound truly first rate.In fact one of the latest reviews of the w-7 suggest that it maybe one of the best amps out there.The Lynx circuitry in the Evolution series is one of the most refined i... 
Quicksilver Contact Enhancer
Wow!Smoffatt, I heard a huge improvement and used a brass brush to clean my tubes with no ill effect.As far as tubes loosening,again I was fine with the tightness of the pins and the sound.Just goes to show that implementation is critical as well ... 
Upgrading from Kharma 3.2 to Verity Parsifal
Argyoif the dealer that you are demoing is serious,then, you should ask to try them in your system with your cable s and amps.Fullrange is very system dependent when you start talking the lowest octave. I think 25hz might be enough if the speaker ... 
Upgrading from Kharma 3.2 to Verity Parsifal
ArgyoI have a friend who is getting a pair of Sarastroses and he is beside himself with excitement.I think your move will not be lateral as you have inferred. Rather, it maybe your glimpse of heaven on earth.I have heard nothing but great things o... 
Levinson 383 integrated vs Moon i-7 integrated
Sallycaine,I am with you totally on the lack of substance in the Rowland design.The Sim on the other hand is a substantial 70lbs plus and boasts one of the most refined circuits called the Lynx, as well as a plitron based chassis.The Sim does need... 
Power cord = steroids for a component--
AvguygeorgeI am glad that the AA is responding to the VD Master so well and what you are hearing is the real deal.The neat thing is that the cord takes at least three days to settle into the system.Some people report that the cords cause issues wi... 
Quicksilver Contact Enhancer
EmailistsI have used it on the tube pins with superb effect and can say that you haven't heard your tube amp yet!!When you apply it just do the top 1/3 or 1/2 of the pin, this will not allow migration of the QS into the tube base.The images and dy... 
Levinson 383 integrated vs Moon i-7 integrated
I second the Moon gear and feel that you will not be disappointed with it's power and grace.I have listened to 2W-5 LE's using both stats ML's and Avalons 2ways.The soun d is awesome and I feel that the new stuff maybe even better!!Hope this helps... 
GMA Callisto's: Opinions
I own the bigger three way called the Calypso and have heard the Europas demoed in my system( it was the speed and openess and dynamics of the europa that helped me buy my bigger speakers).I happen to love the no BS look of GMA's speakers and thin... 
Shootout: AMR CD-77 vs. AR CD7 vs. Wadia 581se
Kgproperties,I have had experience with the AMR and must say that it is a very naturally engaging player that is exceptionally well voiced from top to bottom. Imaging is very dimensional and portrays good front to back as well as side to side soun... 
Quicksilver Contact Enhancer
Tvad,have you ever had a bad haircut that showed features of your face that you didn't like? One may believe whatever one wants, but shooting the hair dresser is a rather drastic fix for the problem that was uncovered!I have many friends that use ...
