Audio Desk Record Cleaner
I got my Audio Desk cleaner last night. Got it home and by 7 am cleaned more records than I have ever done in 2 months. I am extemely happy. It works so well and so easy I am waiting for something to happen, nothing ever works this good. I am real... 
SoundSmith-Benz trade-in program
Neilnz, it sounds like your a dealer. Are you in the US or other location? This may be a problem with high demand and limited availabilty affecting product being sent to the US and the only report we get is from the US dealers and US importer. Per... 
Tax return burning a hole in my pocket
I have a VPI, nice cleaner. lots of solutions, takes too much time though. Also, I am not looking to lots of records, just really nice records. My limit is 2000, then when I add new ones I have to get rid of old ones to make room. 
Nottingham TT - external power supply?
I also tried both. Either is a nice upgrade and would recommend both. I ended up keeping the Wave Mechanic with Audience PC e and Stillpoints. 
Audio Store in Twin Cities?
Boy, I have not had the experience that Maplegrovemusic has had at HiFi sound. Their staff has always been very helpful, very knowledgeable, very accomodating and patient. I had a very good experience there. They also have a very large collection ... 
Review: Herron VTSP-3A R02 Linestage
I started with the VTSP-3A preamp, later added the phono stage. A few months ago after auditioning many different power amps I decided on the Herron M1-A mono amps. I must say, of all of the pieces I am most impressed with the M1A amps. Perhaps it...

Who is Linn of New Hampshire
Ha, go to their web site. Look at their "gallery" of installations. It will probably tell you more about Linn of NH than any words can. I have never heard them, perhaps they sound as unique as their speakers look on their web site. 
Nordost Frey interconnect hum
I also have found hum to be a problem with the RCA barrels when loose. 
Belles Reference 150A or Reference 350A?
I am very familiar with the 802D and owned the Ref 150 for a few years and spent time with the Ref. 350. I would strongly favor the 350, more power, more control etc. I would make sure you either got a new one or if used that it had the soft start... 
CD PLAYER
I hear the Audio Note Fifth Element with separate DAC and power supply sounds nice and one can usually pick it up for only about $200,000.00 and have a few bucks left for some CD's. 
When does seller's responsibility end?
This might be an individual decision, after a month, I would take care of my customer and pay for repairs. A situation similar to yours happened to me several years ago. I ended up loosing a few hundred dollars but suffered no heart ache and the b... 
2012 Jazz cd compilation: Down Beat magazine
I use a list like this as well as mentions in equipment reviews to look into new music ideas. I then will listen to them on my small system, (Dynaudio Xeo 3, Arcam rDACkw and online sources like spotify) to make purchase decisions. I am at a point... 
Dyanudio Xeo 3 Wow
Double Wow! Santa just brought me a pair of Xeo 3 and an Arcam rDAC. My Ipad was set up and all day listening to tons of free music and very very impressed. This system is in my living room, small, sunny and comfortable living room. My main system... 
David Wilson must be a little annoyed...
Well, I am not so impressed. I read the article and then erased every "7" and replaced it with a "9". then I gushed a little more and BEHOLD, the newest greatest bestest mostest transducer (I like this word, seems to get a lot of use lately) of tr...
