| Ansuz The biggest thing wrong with Ansuz is that I can't afford it. | |
| Still looking for a DAC I can demo at home. . . If you like the Jolida, I would seriously consider either the Doge6 CD player, available directly from the Doge site, or the Doge7 DAC. The Doge6, IMO, is exactly what you describe, minus the jitter problems that can arise from connection to an ou... | |
| How to polish Wilson Audio speaker Dust lightly with Swiffer, then use a soft microfiber cloth and an auto detailing spray like Griot's Garage speed shine. As stated above, clean in straight lines to avoid round swirl marks which are more visible. I believe Wilsons use automotive ... | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? Price/value analysis can be a tricky thing. I have a friend who enjoys cognac, so I purchased a bottle of Hennesey Prestige for about $40 and it's fine. Later on, I thought I would try a bottle of Hennesey XO at $125 and that it would be worlds ... | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC AN makes great stuff, but I think you're falling into the trap of believing the chip makes the sound. I think it contributes to it, but I remember Lampizator taking apart some MHZS cd players that used the cheapest dac chip in existence and even ... | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? When one first picks up an acoustic guitar, they would probably be hard pressed to identify much of a difference between a vintage Martin and a piece-of-garbage Esteban. (remember him?) But with time and development, one may become aware of the d... | |

| Static Electricity on Vinyl Gruv Glide will completely cure the static issue. Yes, I know some people are against putting coatings on their records - so be it. I'm just letting you know. Without getting into a debate on the safety, the audiophile sites such as Music Direc... | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC You should check out the new tube dac on the Doge site. It's probably not NOS, but if it's related to the Doge6 CD player topology, I'm sure it sounds warm and grainless, which is what people who are looking for NOS dacs are usually trying to ach... | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? I agree with addy - no matter what anyone tells you, you won't know if changing to an MC will be an improvement for you until you try it. It may mean something to you, it may not. My guess is - it will not. | |
| Better Sound For Free! Just taking your system apart and putting it back together cleans the contacts somewhat, which can liven up the sound. I just did it the other week and I was a little surprised at the difference. Dirty contacts do not help. | |
| THE LITTLE BLACK BOX, 399.00 ABSOLUTLY NUTS Squeaky wheels do get the grease. I don't do it myself, but it definitely works out there. | |
| Basis Turntables: Worth it or Ripoff? One more thing about Basis - amazing customer service. I sent them my motor, bearing and platter to check out and they did it in one day. Adjusted the motor, oiled the bearing, checked tolerances and speed stability. All for a $120 service cha... | |
| Basis Turntables: Worth it or Ripoff? Actually, the used prices for Basis tables seems amazingly low. Yes, 5k for a Vector 4 arm is a lot of money, but that seems to be what the traffic will bear for most good arms. | |
| phono upgrade vs replacing stylus As long as you have the Tom Evans set up for a moving magnet cartridge, I don't think you should be hearing anything as bad as you claim. I think you need someone to come over and take a look. Where did you buy your equipment? If you bought new... |
