| Cleaning vintage amps Compressor with thin long rod will blow of most of the thick loose deposits. If one not available, try spray-can dust blower. Rusted components should be replaced, and heat sink easily sanded. | |
| The weakest link? Theoreticaly speaking, speakers are most of the time biggest 'offenders'. I think Joseph speakers, in general are neutral, so as the rest of your electronics. And what is ultimately missing in your system is musicality, warmth or 'colour' if you w... | |
| I have an ARC LS 25 MK 1......... It is probably blasphemy for some, but ARC never did anything for me. You apparently know and like ARC stuff. If you would like to venture outside ARC world, i would suggest Lamm LP2 Deluxe phono-stage! I assume your amp(s)is/are ARC? | |
| Why buy older digital gear? Because it still reproduce very good sounding music. Old Cal Audio Tempest with 4x oversampling will surprise you with its pleasing sound, not associated with digital sound of that era. Or better yet, Linn Karik/Numerik combo, SFCD-1. I've been lu... | |
| What Would You Do? Bwhite, you wont believe it, but most of the posters on the a-gon haven't audition most of the 'gear' they recommend for someone else. I noticed that some unlike 'heroes' of the A-gon even make up the stories about 'gear' that have never heard, ne... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS I think most of you guys are WRONG! And out of spite, i wont pay your paypal fees, even for "deal of the century" (which i doubt any of you cheapskates will offer ) Still, who cares...now i need suggestion on good (cheap) red wine! | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS You apparently haven't read my previous post. But regardless, i still believe that anyway you look at it, practice is DISGUSTING! Something like 'stiffing' your waitress at your favorite restaurant. | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS I guess you guys are right. The buyer should pay all fees and expenses related to you selling your "baby". How about reimbursement for the cost of the ad? Perhaps you should tack on ISP service fees you had to inquire while using the internet to s... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS Paypal charges the fees to the seller, as it is the seller who ultimately benefits from the fast and easy payment. If the seller had their own credit card services, the costs would be more. As the previous poster suggested, how would you feel if, ... | |

| The best vinyl recording of .....Bruckner Sym 6.. You cannot beat Haitnik and COMPLETE Bruckner SYMPHONIES (12 records) - CONCERTGEBOUW of Amsterdam on Philips Europe. All original Bruckners work. | |
| Golden Tube SE40 : pwr led & input tubes kaput Check first for some loose connections or weak solder joint. Similar thing happened with my SFC-1, where i had to take cover off, and while amp on tried to locate loose connection. I found one and since then i am OK. However, Sonic Frontiers is al... | |
| North Creek speakers??? I built my speakers according to North Creek music systems philosophy. All of the enclosure and most of the x-over parts, less the drivers, are 'ala' NCMS. Mr. Short was helpful even though i wasn't building his kit speakers. The result is: breath... | |
