Great service from Mark Levinson and Madrigal
It is great to hear things like this! Hats off to Mark Levinson and Madrigal. It is unfortunate however that there are manufacturers, designers and dealers who get big heads after some basking in the limelight. It is only responsible actions such ... 
CEC TL-1X upgrades. Any feedback?
I am using my TL1-X with a John Wright modified Museatex Bi-Dat. I am very happy with the sound of this combination. I have also experienced a TL-1X with a Manley DAC and DCS gear. It is my opinion that the CEC is great just the way it is. I would... 
anyone actually compared the cary 805c
Mahandave- Do you remember what the rest of the system was when you compared the two different Cary's? 
Mold-damaged copy of "Live at Leeds"
Theoretically speaking I would believe that bleach has an affect on the vinyl but to what extent? Let's remember the big picture here and that is to save an otherwise useless record. If you cannot get the mold off then your only alternative is to ... 
Mold-damaged copy of "Live at Leeds"
Hey, at this point you have nothing to lose. I would use a record brush (an old DiscWasher type brush) to scrub it in a circular motion with a diluted mixture of bleach and water. Make up a 50/50 mix in a bowl large enough to dip your brush in, ke...

Power Cord Advice
Hey Sean-What if I told you I use power cords that I snatch off a Sears model IBRNJSTRGHT toaster oven? That would mean that the only place you could obtain them is...Yep! That's right-SEARS!! I suppose you would proclaim that has a fishy smell to... 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
Psychicanimal-Thanks...it was looking grim for a while so I am glad you have spoken. I too am very pleased with the Absolutes. They have made me realize that my system is good enough to stand on its own. This is not about thumbing our noses at the... 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
No, I do not work for Absolute Power Cord Company. My day job is a circuit designer. Fully explainable solutions to electrical problems. A world seen as black or white...no gray here, no sir. But that knowledge didn't stop the audiophile in me to ...

Altis Audio Centauri Transport
I heard it in two different high resolution systems and fell in love with it but poor me...I could not afford it at the time so I bought it's little brother, the Altis CDT-3. The Centuri crushes the Levinson which I am familiar with and also the C... 
Pass & Seymour Electrical Outlets
I had written about Pass Seymour in an earlier thread. I use them for the same reason that Kennyd does. Not only does their design really grip a plug, they also have screw terminals that can be tightened down on the feed wire (up to a #10 AWG) ver... 
Hottest Wife or World's Best System??
What is it like having a hot wife? 
HiFi is an opinion - nothing more
Great response Albert. 
Really good home electrical wiring.
Wattgate is a scam, plain and simple. My advice on the outlets is to get a few different samples from various manufacturers, test them for yourself. They should grab the blades of the plug tightly;they should accept #10 wire easily and use isolate...
