Whatever......First question: Did they do the tests after burn-in?Second Question: How about actually listening instead of testing?Case in point: Ah! CD Player.

| Best speakers for $500 or less Used JM Reynaud Twins | |
| The absolute best and worst-sounding CD you own ? Best; Ricki Lee Jones's first album. Better than the LP IMHO.Worst: A live recording of Joan Sutherland that i bought at Border's Books. It apparently is some sort of bootleg type CD that was obviously recorded by someone in the audience with a st... | |

| Death Knell for cd's? I buy vinyl at 2-3 bucks a pop (vs. $12-$15 when they were the media of choice) and love it. Can't wait for the next phase of obsolesence to help my budget. Bring it on. | |

| Dynamat Recommended in the Ah!CD players (which are not cheap junk but do have flimsy enclosures) Used to good effect. Not sure I would put it under a component as the asphalt smooshes and sticks to exposed surfaces and one side is conductive so if you ha... | |

I made a bunch of Rus... | |

They sent a guy out to mde to photograph the box and packing material. Then they denied the claim as they said the packing was bad. Actually is was packed exa... | |
| Buying LPs - where do you shop For a non-online experience in the bay area, Aomeba records has TONS of LP's in every category imaginable (if you like stuff like the USSR Red Army Band plays Beatles songs, you can even find that!). If you have a number of thrift stores near you,... | |
| Looking to get TT I'm no expert here as i have not compared other systems in my home, BUT, I too just went back to vinyl about a week ago. I picked up a Music Hall 7 (used for $720) and a Clear Audio Basic phone stage. ($400). Playing through AUDIOMAT Arpege ($1300... | |
| How do I clean CDs with isopropyl alcohol? I use kodak lens cleaner or eyeglass cleaner with a non-woven eyeglass cloth from a small spray bottle. Works great and is very gentle. Photo optics and plastic eye glass lens material is very suseptible to minute scratching. Figure if it is safe ... | |
| CDP with volume control Ah! Tjoeb. | |
| Audiomat Arpege Is it really that good ? Help I too own the Audiomat. I think I bought it from someone in the Chicago group. I am completely pleased with the amp. Just sooo right. I upgraded the input tubes to mullards and they made a huge difference. I loved the amp before and it is many tim... |
