| Change of sound with Deoxit G100 In the future you might consider using this product (see link) by MG Chemicals (it replaced Kontak cleaner for my usage). 99%+ alcohol is not recommended for gold plated tube pins (not certain about gold plated connectors). I stopped using 99%+... | |

| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? fleschler: Friends of the Library was our "cheap date" going back to 1991 and up until Covid-19 put a halt to the sales. We walked to the North Gardner library until it was closed and also frequented our local Sunset, Fairfax and Melrose librari... | |
| High efficiency desktop speakers I would not limit your search based upon published sensitivity specs. Check out this review of a pair pf 90dB rated speakers (towards the end where they are powered by DH/SET 2A3 amplification - plus your speakers will be used in the near-field).... | |
| Yamaha m4 I would assume that "flexing" a sizable circuit board on a powered up 40+ year old amp would create such noises. Hopefully no serious damage was done, but doing so was certainly not an upgrade. DeKay | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? "Personally I can't stand bookshelves in rooms." You would hate our place (the living room alone has over 130 linear feet of bookshelves). My favorites are open backed "standards" with shallow 5.5" deep shelves as the books just seem to hang in ... | |
| SL-1200G/Hana ML Best Headshell I read that the G's magnesium arm can work with cartridges up to 19.5 grams when using their "additional" counter balance weight. Double check the above, as I cannot find the source. I'd weigh the stock headshell (guessing it's 7-8 grams) and th... | |
| No mention of LRS / LRS+ on Magnepan website??? I read this some time ago, but it doesn’t explain why the new model is not listed on their site. Also, the Magnepan website does not seem to work properly (for me anyway). https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2022/04/26/magnepan-lrs-plus-plus-plus-a... | |
| Ribbon Cables vs. Standard If you haven't already check out the Chinese cable thread @ AudioAsylum. One of the links I clicked on showed a "flat" cable with numerous round wires laid out in a plain. DeKay | |
| Green Mountain Audio I looked @ various pics of the speakers online and all I can say is that you married well. DeKay | |
| Green Mountain Audio Here's a link to (OEM?) woofer surrounds in case you decide to repair them yourself. The price includes VAT, so they should be less expensive if shipped to the states. https://www.repairyourspeakers.com/en/foam-rubber-surrounds/scanspeak/scanspe... | |
| Green Mountain Audio ovinewar1: If the the drivers are OEM labeled when you pull them please post the info for future researchers. DeKay | |
| Ribbon Cables vs. Standard By "ribbon" do you mean simply "flat" cables or cables with flat/wide ribbon conductors as opposed to round wire conductors laid out in a flat plain? I found speaker cables using flat/wide ribbon conductors to be flat (scooped?) in the upper mid'... | |
| 1st full tube amp Oldchen EL34 The Psvane 5U4G receives good reviews for reliability/sonics from what I just Googled. The cheap 5Z3P’s and 5AR4's are the one’s I’ve read bad things about. How does it sound? I ran a friend’s Chorus II’s with my little 2A3 kit amps years ago a... | |
| Brown Electronic Laboratory amplifer 1001 MV Nice that you have the skills to replace them. Somebody like me probably installed the old ones. DeKay |
