| Review: Record Research Lab Shine Ola CD\DVD\SACD cleaner Tweak I have to agree... I've been really impressed with Shine-Ola. Was previously using a Yamamura CD treatment, but it left a residue that would begin to appear after a few weeks. After using Shine-Ola for a few months, there is no trace of any residu... | |
| Venturing into Vinyl - Phono Stage Questions thanks for all the input, everyone. finally made some decisions, and the system is up and running! and i even stayed under budget! you can check out the results in my virtual system. | |
| would you bother? yes. it does not have to take a lot of money, but as noted by previous posters, it DOES take quite a bit of patience. i was asking myself this very question about 2-3 weeks ago, and i just set up my first vinyl setup this weekend. total investment... | |
| GMA Europa owners.... Phasecorrect and Jb3...When I had Europa's, I used (again, per Roy's recommendations) both Analysis Plus and Audio Magic cables. For several months, I was using Audio Magic Excalibur II IC's with Analysis Plus Oval 12's. I then upgraded the speake... | |

| McCormack or Quicksilver for Vandersteen 2ci? FWIW, I am driving a pair of Vandy 2CE's with a Rogue Tempest Magnum, and the sound is excellent. You might consider the 88 Magnum, the M-120 mono's, or the new M-150's. All are excellent amps at their respective price points.Also, FYI - based on ... | |
| Small diameter, flexible speaker cable under $200? hey pete... how about dh-labs t-14's? they're about the same diameter as the bl-1 interconnects, and are quite flexible. more importantly, i think they are an excellent sounding cable. | |
| Should the best PC be on source, pre-amp or amp?? Meech,I think the best thing to do is to try out all the different combinations and see which combo sounds the best to you. And remember to give yourself enough time with each combo to get a good sense for what the sound is like.Conventional wisdo... | |
| Jolida JD302B - Speaker Choice I second the GMA Europa. I used these speakers with a Jolida 502a, and thought they went very well together. At anywhere near its price, the Europa is VERY difficult to beat. | |
| What is more important ? Need some advice. I'm using a Luminous Audio AXIOM passive unit, and I think it is excellent, particularly for the price. I believe they are $125 brand new. In my opinion, it is a lot easier to use than the EVS attenuators (although the EVS is supposed to sound exc... | |
| Audio Refinement Complete owners: amp power Q Hi John,I don't think you can go wrong with Signal Cable IC's for the price. I used the Analog 2 for awhile, and found it to be a solid performer.Roy Johnson, who designed the Europa's, highly recommended Audio Magic Sceptor IC's. They were a bit ... | |
| In need of assistance: integrated amp selection Jb3-I had Europa's for awhile, and a couple of amp/source combo's that were ~$1500. Depending on whether you like tubes or solid state, I would recommend the following:Source -- I used a Jolida JD-100A with all of the amps below, and found it to b... | |
| Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ? Green Mountain Audio Europa. Although there is a small, cult-like following behind the Europa's, they are certainly not as well known as they should be. For under a grand new, the Europa's are at least on par with the likes of Merlin TSM's and Rev... | |
| Shostakovich...WHOA Congratulations, Kubla. You've stumbled onto some of the greatest music ever composed (in my opinion).The 8th string quartet is actually a musical autobiography of Shostakovich's life. The four opening notes of the quartet (d, e-flat, c, b) compri... |
