| LAST Record Preservative - Application Techniques I put the bottle inside a large bowl so if it falls over I have a chance of recovering it. | |
| Review: APL Hi Fi NWO 4.0 Master Edition CD Player I understand Drubin. I am not inclined to lengthy epic reviews. My comparison is with the NWO 3.0 GO which is a few models back. Until we have perfect components, there is room for improvement. I have no opinion of how the NWO Master may outperfor... | |
| Review: APL Hi Fi NWO 4.0 Master Edition CD Player My NWO-M has been breaking in over the last week. I am running it in about 16 hours a day. With digital units I have owned, the sound demonstrates some inconsistency as the unit breaks in. Mercifully, the Master is showing me glimpses of things to... | |
| Vibration control devices for EMM CDSA. Consider the Spike Sound Will Isolation Feet magnetic levitators. | |
| Arcam AVR300 problems Only works in direct mode ? Try unplugging the unit overnight and see if the sound comes back when you plug it in. | |
| Emmylou Harris, "Red Dirt Girl" I own most of Emmy's LPs and CDs. IMHO, Red Dirt Girl is the worst due to Malcolm Burn's unsuccessful attempt to copy Daniel Lanois' production style (also an aquired taste for me). The are hundreds? of producers who do a better job with electonic... | |

If hi-rez playback is a concern, the Transporter is limited to 24/96. There is no indication that Logitech will upgrade it or release a deriva... | |

| SACD's to avoid due to poor remastering. An example of an excellent sounding SACD (stereo layer) is Elton John's Captain Fantastic. If this disc sounds bad on your SACD player, it will be difficult for your to accurately assess the merits of any SACD you play. This SACD is availble at Am... | |
| Berkeley Audio Design SPDIF Input Much has been made over the impedance of BNC versus RCA connectors. In my system, an RCA terminated digital cable with so called 75 ohm RCA/BNC Monster adaptors sounded better than 2 BNC terminated cables. So to me, the issue of what will provide ... | |

| SACD's to avoid due to poor remastering. Most Sony SACDs from initial rollout. Old catalog. | |
| XTZ Room Analyzer or something else? You may wish to try this program SynRTA. I think you will need some cables, laptop, and sound card. As I recall, it will give you a real time readout as you wander about the room.http://www.libinst.com/SynRTA.htm | |
| Enacom speaker filters I have used the Enacom. The Walkers sound better to me but are more expensive. If you are inclined, there are DIY filters with construction details over at AA. Jumpers should not be a problem but you may want to experiment concerning which set of ... | |
| Piggy back conditioners? This will be system dependent. If you have multiple conditioners on hand, try it out and see what you think. Be sure to experiment with which conditioner goes first and the types of power cords used between each conditioner and their connected com... |
