Gruv Glide
Theo, Your Gruv Glide came in a Box??? It was like Talcom powder...my, oh my, I think somebody sure sold you on something, but it sure wasn't Gruv Glide:0) 
Gruv Glide
Sorry to disagree, but I like the Gruv Glide treatment. IMO, it does NOT gum up the grooves. Not sure if and how G_m_c used the Gruv Glide, but if you follow the manufacturer's instructions and apply to the supplied pads; then in my experience it ...

New 2011 Sonus Faber Speakers?
Pinkus, open your eyes and maybe more importantly...your ears. 
New 2011 Sonus Faber Speakers?
Level8skier, let's hope that SF decides NOT to cheapen out again and this time brings a great speaker to market in the Guarneri Futura..:0)I too am very curious. 
Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas?
Oops, meant to say would NOT trade bass for the greater transparency and truth to source that the GH's bring to the table.BTW, it is not that difficult to add bass to the GH's if needed. Any good sub would do..:0) OTOH, adding greater transparency... 
Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas?
Eddie, I think what you were trying to say was that the Extrema's have a great soundstage, perfect depth and solid bass but are not as transparent as the GH's. This would be my opinion as well, although I wouldn't say that the GH's have no bass wh... 
Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas?
Mal, I personally do not like the match-up of Mac gear and SF, particularly with the GH's or Extrema's. The only possible exception to that is the Mac 275 which, while not IMO a great match to the GH's,is the best of the Mac gear I have heard with... 
Detaching Guarneri Homage columns from marble base
As1963, that's a very strange problem. I agree with Jlind, you should contact SF for there thoughts on this. Please post as to their suggestions. One thought I had was to use a rubber mallet and gently strike the columns at the metal area on the b... 
Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas?
Mal, please do tell us what you think of the two...However, please remember that the speakers will interact with your up-line gear and that this will, IMO, color the speakers in a way that you may or not like. The Extrema's need a lot of current t... 
Need Help with Acoustat Model 4 speakers
Skykomish, I used to own Model 3's with the 121 c interfaces. As others have said, the speakers need to be plugged in all the time. Acoustats are fairly difficult to drive, although a 50watt tube amp should do the trick. One other thing about thes... 
Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas?
This thread cracks me up...we have the OP deciding on a pair of speakers without seemingly hearing them and how they interact with his current gear and room. We have Rwwear posting how inefficient the Extrema's are...which in my experience is very... 
audio research
Paul, I just noticed that you want to stay within the ARC line for your preamp.The SP10 was the preamp that was available at the time of the D70's. I think this is a great preamp if you can find one today. It is hard on tubes BUT has an excellent ... 
audio research
Cegtv1, you might try and listen to a CAT preamp. I use a SL1 Sig with rolled in tubes with my ARC D70Mk2 and IMHO it is a great match-up. The ARC is good enough to reveal most of the faults of up stream gear and a great tube preamp really lets th... 
So what is the best speaker you have ever owned?
The one's that I currently own...the Sonus Faber Guarneri Hommage's.Not likely to be replaced any time soon, enjoying them too much..:0)
