Need a very neutral interconnect-
I understand the question and the responses, but in reality, how could one ever know which cable is neutral? One takes a cable and inserts it in their system and it sounds "dark"compared to what we had, so we say that cable isn't neutral. But how ... 
Scratched CDs
There are services on the web that will polish your disc with a professional machine. If you can't fix it with home remedies, try one of them if the CD is that important to you. http://www.printpal.com/scratch_removal_faq.html 
Snap, Crackle, Pop - What is the cause?
I don't "lean towards static". I said that IF the noise is caused by static, GruvGlide will help. If it's caused by damaged grooves, it probably won't. There is no one cause of noisy records. If it bothers you that much, I would stick to Mint or N... 
Snap, Crackle, Pop - What is the cause?
If it is caused by static, GruvGlide will quiet the noise. Whatever anyone might say about GG's effect on record wear or whatever, it absolutely stops static discharges. If you live in dry conditions where static is a problem, it's an excellent so... 
Speaker Cables Upgrade - Which Ones?
RO817 - Cardas makes a very good banana to spade adaptor if you decide to go with LFD. [url]http://www.dedicatedaudio.com/inc/sdetail/27897[/url] 
Speaker Cables Upgrade - Which Ones?
I would speak with Gene Rubin for a recommendation. He has been a Harbeth dealer for many years and has an impeccable reputation for honesty and recommending high-value products. 
Greatest Composers of All Time
Charles1dad, there's no sense going into that old argument, especially here. But if you want to talk about spending money, at the NY Show, the Coincident Pure Reference speakers were absolutely stunning with the matching electronics, which I belie...

Well Schubert, by the time the Feds, State and City get through with me, I'm losing 50% of what I earn, which makes me the most civilized person I know. 
Suggestions please about turntable belt
You shouldn't be going through belts in 6 months. Try washing the belt with some dishwashing liquid to remove the oils and then treat it with some Aerospace 303, which should prolong the life of the rubber. The trick is to wipe the 303 off the bel... 
Greatest Composers of All Time
Learsfool - my comment about few audiophiles enjoying classical music was an expression of my personal opinion that many audiophiles don't really like music at all and that music is only a vehicle through which they can play with their toys - the ... 
Anyone going to the NY Audio show today to Sunday
I assume you are Joseph and I just want to say that I've always thought your speakers were very good at their price points. I don't recall the music being played, but they sounded like somebody eliminated the frequencies below 250hz. Just shrill a... 
Moving from CD to analog
Matthew - a BMW dealer wants to sell you a BMW, a Rolex dealer wants to sell you a Rolex. That doesn't mean they're not good products. You can go it on your own if you like, but a dealer can make it easier. Your choice. There are a lot of anti-dea... 
Moving from CD to analog
If possible, find a good dealer who sells several brands and have him set the table up in your home for you, together with a matching cartridge and phono pre-amp. IMO, you will save a lot of grief and you will have a resource to go back to for que...

Dropped in on Saturday. Coincident room was excellent. Wilson Alexia with D'Agostino amps were the best I've ever heard Wilsons sound. Very bad sound from Joseph Pulsars. It had to be the room or setup, because they can't be that bad. Audio Note r... 
Siltech cables. Help to recognize originals.
You can tell the fakes because they sell for $59. Genuine Siltechs sell for somewhat more.
