| Best way s to clean CD's? Any updates? Jim:Most any towel will scratch CD's. If anyone in the family wears glasses pick up a micro fiber cloth (used to clean anti-glare lenses) the next time you are @ the shop.I think that 3M may make this material as well, but don't know what the prod... | |
| Christmas Music PS: I recently picked an R&B compilation by Rhino Records that sounds great (better than the same cuts on LP's). Don't know how they got the old recordings to sound so good, but could go for more of these if they were produced in the same mann... | |
| Christmas Music Charlie: We play R&B/Disco for X-Mas. The only real exception is a version of the "Nutcracker Suite" performed on mandolins.Nothing like listening to "The Hustle" on X-Day (@ least in a Methodist/Jewish household:-).I listen to the real X-Mas ... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Q: "Hey Dekay (and others), aren't sex songs a different thing than love songs?"A: Not to a sociopath. | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Wow, lot's of generations in the mix.#1 for me (when sober) is "Stand by Me".Otherwise it would be "You Sexy Thing/Thang" by Hot Chocolate, I think (not very good @ remembering song titles & bands). The lead in is: "I believe in miracles", in ... | |
| Tube suggestions for the Aronov LS 9000 South: Are these perhaps 7025 tubes (not 7024)? If so, then they are a type of 12ax7 (ECC83) that may or may not be lower in noise than a typical 12ax7. Real 7025's have an added coil that would theoretically decrease noise, per my basic understan... | |
| How do you properly break-in a pair of speakers? Various full scale music will work fine (classical with organ is good). I do not play new speakers loud @ first (if the sound becomes compressed or dry, then this is too loud, IMO, plus who wants to listen to this).Most of the new speakers that I ... | |
| Does equipment get old? T-Bone: I figure that anything more than 8-10 years old is going to require some refurbishing to sound right (I'm talking tube gear).I used to have my old Dynaco, Eico and McIntosh gear recapped every 8 years, or so, and my tube guitar amps @ leas... | |
| Good turntable equipped for about 700 dollars? Peter:It's probably Aristan that you are refurring to and, if so, replacement parts are quite difficult to source.Better off with a Linn, if that's the direction you are heading. | |
| Am I being fair? Not a problem on your end (I read the ad which was crystal clear).Hope the "children" involved do leave (-) feedback (which can be removed) so that I may make note and stear clear of them on future transactions (they would seem to be both petty an... | |
| The Heat Is On I use Statmat MkII (a rider mat) for CD's, a Zerostat gun on LP's and Howard Feed-N-Wax on wood speaker cabinets.I also try to dine on grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup once a week (Yorkshire pudding and some nice rare muscle meat, tri tip... | |
| 45 rpm vinyl value I have some Red RCA's that came in boxes the size of reel to reel tape boxes (3-5 per box) that I researched on Ebay a few years ago. They were not selling for even $1 @ that time. I'm not certain where they are stored so cannot check the labels a... | |
| FedEX Ground, sure they aren't really BROWN??? Joe:Your problem is that you did not go high enough up the chain in regard to voicing your complaints.Next time stay on the phone until they connect you to Darryl and @ that point be very firm and insist on speaking with his brother (his name is D... | |
| 300B Speakers, Reynaud & Reference 3A Hi Tom:Here is the address:http://cain-cain.hypermart.net/index.htmlKeep in mind that I have never listened to the line, though there should be some user feedback shortly @ Audioasylum.com (someone just received a pair). Can't remember which forum... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Abex:I ended up with a very nice OTA digital cable (it slightly bested my Mapleshade Double Helix anyway - even less HF smearing which is what Mapleshade is all about).The center (+) lead was 30" long and the outer (-) lead was 60" long. The longe... |
