| VPI cleaner clear tubes cracking Thanks Bob. I'll search for that other (RRL) solution. | |
| MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns? Rives: thanks for the further elaboration. I appreciate it very much. I'm a victim, in some sense, of (like you) being in the sciences. I want data! As you state, however, some phenomena are inexplicable. The other aspect of science is curiosity. ... | |
| MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns? 4yanx: thanks for the input. If I can find someone who has a demagnetizer, I might give it a try. Yeah, right now I'm not particularly worried! | |
| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. Kennyt: thanks for that!! How many years have you been aching to spill that little tidbit?! | |
| MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns? YES, but "Waiting a bit longer will net you sound as it was when new and fully broken in" seems to imply that demagging makes the sound "worse" for a while, but that it returns to "broken in" quality with some time. So, what's the point?It stills ... | |

| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. From Creedence Clearwater Revival:I heard: "There's a bathroom on the right"What they said: "There's a bad moon on the rise"Iron Butterfly:I heard: "In the Garden of Eden..."What they said: Well, you know..."Inagaddagavida" or whatever.Dylan:What ... | |
| MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns? So, if you have to "break in" the cartridge after demagnitizing, and if the sound immediately after demagging is "harsh or edgy," then what's the point?? | |
| If your CD's are harsh, try this My understanding of Auric Illuminator is that it "simply" removes some haziness from the CD manufacturing process. It's like taking the haze off a dirty window without changing the properties of the window (or CD) itself. Just the same, really as ... | |
| Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier Did you buy the Thiel and Plinius new and at the same time? How long was your break-in period? Might be hard to tell, if both were breaking in at the same time. | |
| VPI cleaner clear tubes cracking Mine has never developed any cracking. I don't use alcohol-based solutions, nor do I add any to the VPI solution. VPI actually suggests that adding alcohol is OK (up to 25%, I think)! So, they don't see it as a problem, but it might be worth askin... | |
| Speakers that sound like Thiels on steroids. foreverhifi2000 mentioned active ATCs. They are awesome and should be seriously considered. | |
| Most underated albums...... John McLaughlin with Shakti is outstanding! He's always had an eastern infusion to his music, and the Shakti stuff is great!I also really like the disc he did way back when with Carlos Santana, "Love, Devotion, Surrender." | |
| other singers like Patricia Barber..... I agree with the others who mentioned "Dave's True Story." That is one hell of a combo. And to make it better, they are a little twisted (e.g., the title of one CD is "Sex Without Bodies"). | |
| Arcam or Rega Integrated Amp. I don't know what your budget is, but there are some outstanding deals to be had on used Arcam integrateds here on audiogon. I would definitely jump at some of those that are being offered.If you are into solid state and you have a few more bucks,... |
