| Where to buy LPs online? The two best that I have found are Acoustic Sounds (www.acousticsounds.com) and The Elusive Disc (www.elusivedisc.com). Good Luck, Doug | |
| "Protocols" of record cleaning When Michael Fremer was publishing a magazine titled "The Tracking Angle" one of the first issues ran an article describing a cleaning procedure. The procedure was rather involved and extensive and really requires more effort than is necessary for... | |
| Stylus Cleaners? Thanks for the responses. I've been using Last and am getting to the end of the bottle. It seems to work well enough, but I'll never been overly impressed. I'll probably give LP #9 a try this time. | |
| Do amps need time to break in? my hpa-2 I agree with Sean that SS sounds best when left on or in standby if that option is avaliable. All audio equipment (cables and IC's included) that I have experienced requires "break-in" time. There are no hard and fast rules for how long as each pi... | |
| Contact cleaners/What's good? Interesting thoughts on the alcohol idea Cornfed. I have used the Caig products in the past. Anybody have any good suggestions for cleaning AES/EBU connectors? Other than squirting juice on them and seating/unseating several times? Thanks Doug | |
| Best material for speaker cables? Yanomami, I'm not trying to be a smart ass although I may come across that way, believe me it is not my intent. As in your previous post "Best Speaker Cables" the members of Audiogon will provide many options for you to condsider. The bottom line ... | |
| Buidling a Classical Library - MUST HAVES! I have a widely varied collection, but I also have several pieces that I believe are essential enough to have several different performances. Pictures at an Exhibition, Fanfare for the Common Man, The 1812 Overture, The Firebird, Rhapsody in Blue,... | |
| Buidling a Classical Library - MUST HAVES! I should probably start a new thread with this one, but it is asking you to expand on provious posts and add a comment to future posts. Do you find yourself collecting a wide variety of composers and pieces or do you find that there a few composer... | |
| New To Tubes & Direct Wadia to Tube Amp I'm not a tube guy, but these thoughts go regardless. Do not buy an amp to try/audition. There are plenty of dealers that will work with you on a loaner. The last thing you want to do is plop down hard earned money to experiment. You may not like ... | |
| Which SILVER cables sound best? Dekay, did the Homegrown silver cables make the sound "brighter"? I've never tried silver cables because of this tendancy that I've heard of. | |
| Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better? OOPS goofed, sorry gang. I meant to say: the 801's are NOT "kick in the seat of the pants bass" speakers. Doug | |
| Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better? Gthirteen: Your problem may be your room. I don't remember seeing your room dimensions posted, but it takes a BIG room to get deep bass. It has to do with wave travel time and having the room to allow the long waves (deep bass) to develop. There a... | |
| Sparking Ground Wire I'm guessing here, but if your home has low humidity it could be static electricity. | |
| New Visitor Confused Over Upgrade Was there a full moon recently? I gotta admit, this one and and the jazz clown sure do make me wonder. I kind of hope eber shows up here or on the Coltrane thread. | |
| You got to show me something more! I must admit, I have found this thread rather amusing. First, the good members of audiogon are accused of not having a clue. Then we are criticized for spending money on audio systems to get the absulote best performance from our music collection.... |
