| Thirty dollar upgrade worth thousands "A elderly man is driving down the LIE when he's pulled over by a cop. Cop says, "Sir, do you realize your wife fell out of the car a mile back?" The man says, "Thank God -- I thought I was going deaf." (insert rimshot here) | |
| Advice on stand mount speakers In a small room, I suggest you consider Harbeth. They are true monitors, which means they are designed to work well for nearfield listening, which is not the case with all speakers. You don't list your musical tastes, but if you enjoy vocals and a... | |
| How to clean gunky CDs Try Goo-Gone, a citrus-based cleaner that seems very good at removing gummy residues. Also, you might try some Scotch packing tape. Give it a minute or two to adhere to the goo and then pull it off the CD. I would try both of these methods on a CD... | |
| Cambridge Audio products unreliable/unsupported? You should contact the dealer you bought it from to assist you with service. That's what they're there for. | |
| It's All in Your Head That was the Twilight Zone - Eye of the Beholder. Unless the Outer Limits did the same thing, which they probably did. | |
| It's All in Your Head Human beings are easily fooled. You can sit in one of those "flight simulator" rides at Disney - the seat tilts, you see a picture of a racetrack, you hear some noise and you swear to god you're moving when you aren't. Also, not to give offense, b... | |
| lfd grainless interconnects I would contact Gene Rubin, who you probably know if you own LFD/Harbeth. He knows what works when it comes to those brands and I'm sure he will give you an honest opinion of that cable. Good luck. | |
| Cable Recommendations Personally, I would start with Audience AU24 ICs and speaker cables. They are basically neutral, very well made and a pretty safe bet. Plus, Audience has superior customer service. They are often available used at decent prices. I don't think you ... | |
| Nordost Baldur vs Red Dawn Xti16, I could not venture a guess as to all the factors that make up a cable's sonic signature. I remember being amazed at a demo of a Naim interconnect in which their only claim was to have isolated the plugs from vibration. No exotic wire - not... | |
| Nordost Baldur vs Red Dawn The best I can figure out, cables don't have "highs and lows". They have different electrical characteristics that interface with your amplifier and speaker and alter the frequency response accordingly. If you have a boomy system or room, you may ... | |
| Harbeth Comparison I've owned both the HL5s and the Monitor 30s and it really all depends with how they will click with your room. They both have a "family" sound - beautiful, natural vocals and sound good at moderate listening levels and at relatively close distanc... | |
| B&W 800 DIAMOND-COMPARABLE SPEAKERS Shahzada1, buy what you have heard and loved. I suspect that the reason so many people here complain about their systems is because they read too much and listen too little. Trust your ears. | |
| In need of a powercord Another vote for the Naim Tibia power cord. Check out Gene Rubin Audio, right here on A'gon. Gene's a long time Naim dealer and a great guy. He might also recommend something else within your price range that's even better. | |
| Cleaning VPI platter Novus plastic clean and shine is specifically made for acrylic. Very good stuff. | |
| B&W 800 DIAMOND-COMPARABLE SPEAKERS I wish you many years of good listening. They are beautiful speakers. |
