| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil My friend swears by the Quicksilver Gold contact enhancer. He uses it on all the pins of his ICs and on the inside parts that hold the IC onto the female connectors. He also uses it on tube pins, spade lugs, prongs of PCs, fuse ends, and he woul... | |
| Quicksilver Gold contact enhancer I know Brian said to refrigerate the QG after opening and using. Sealing the container as much as possible would be of additional help. I have a friend who used some oil of some sort to mix and smooth the QG that had dried up some. He said it ... | |
| VMPS speakers--Who has had great success in bringing their VMPS speakers to new heights? Doug, thank you for the pat on the back. This will be my final system to enjoy unless stuff breaks or wears out. I just have to get in enough shape to lift the 260 lb. speakers with the help of a friend. The other option is I don't ever move an... | |
| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! Brian, This is very simple and seems stupid in light of all the technically great suggestions, BUT...I had an Edge amp and never got any noise (hum) in my system. Bought a nice Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE mono pair and all of a sudden I had a hum in m... | |
| Phono preamp question Kalali, There is an Audible Illusions 2D preamp (full function including phono) for just $420 used on Audiogon in the past couple days. It took well over a $3000 phono section to best my previous Audible Illusion 3A. Waste your money on some ... | |
| Cable Choices - TEO, Cerious Tech, Amadi, Audio Sensibility, etc I have owned Morrow, Darwin, and Amadi ICs most recently. The better Darwins and Amadi cables were considerably better sounding in my system. Only looked to change when a couple of audio buddies came over bringing with them a couple of very favo... | |
| Phono preamp question Look for a used Audible Illusions 2C or 2D, or for about twice the money, a used 3A. The 3A would go for about $1200 so you could get a 2D for about $600. The 3A would be newer, however. All these have a very good built in phono preamp and the ... | |
| Eggleston Works Andra II speakers as forever speakers. rzado, Would you say you are more of a clarity freak or musical? I think I verge on being more of the former without etching, however. I also like dynamics. My problem is I'd also like to have speakers that sound good even with less than st... | |
| Looking for a Phono pre around 1K Look into an Allnic H-1200 used for about $900. It is very dynamic, and good at all the other audiophile goodies. It also allows you to use a low output MC or high output cartridges. It does use some small tubes. I would venture it is a bette... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? For real low cost cables, Speltz Anticables consistently bested all that I tried until I bought some MG Audio Planus III copper ribbons. They moved the bar well beyond anything I had heard prior. I then bought some Amadi Maddie Signature cables... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars If great dynamics and power handling along with clarity are your thing, the Vapor Audio Nimbus black or white speakers would be about that range new. There is a pair on the east coast for sale at $7500. They just went off but will probably come ... | |
| Axpona audio show. Is it worth seeing(hearing)? droleg, Friday is a good day for getting a chance to hear more stuff as there are less people there because of work. The drawback to Friday is the vendors are usually still having problems getting their system to sound its best.Saturday has the m... | |
| Most coherent low volume speaker with very fast bass under 10k used? If you can find a Sanders ESL used, it will likely be under $10,000. This electrostatic speaker is absolutely stunning in its sound at all frequencies and the bass will be right up your alley. If you see one used, you better move fast on it tho... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables The GE speaker cables have made a very nice contribution to my overall sound. I wanted to get more potent bass, better dynamics and more organic sound of real live instruments and the GEs deliver it. My VMPS RM40 speakers have never sounded bett... | |
| Subwoofer cable question for those in the know... There is a slight difference in running 2 separate cables to the L/R inputs on the subwoofer vs. using a Y adapter at both your preamp and sub. On my system, the 2 separate cables sounded a little better. It's not a big deal and many wouldn't h... |
