| Kenwood/Trio L05-M grounding Corby -- Yes, that's another option -- maybe replace the PC with some of chrisvh's very nice cryo'd flavor 2 wire w/no ground from the wall. I'm thinking about the binding posts, too -- although the I kind of like the existing kind of balls-to-the... | |
| Solid stylus cleaners: Extreme Phono vs. Onzow Zer Well, I tried out the Extreme Phono but was quite disapointed, at least by the packaging -- I couldn't get the %#%$# thing open! It was just too much trouble. I put a Speed mat under my Ringmat Anniversary, though, and it was like buying a new (an... | |
| Need quality flexible power cord for CD player.... Reubent,Yup, it's the same. Probably 80% of my music goes through that DAC, so I was quite willing to toss the PC if it didn't perform and just looking at it I really thought to be out $40. In fact, I almost didn't plug it in at all but now I cons... | |
| Subwoofer Amp Recommendations Amazingly enough, I bought a pair of L-05Ms on A'gon a couple of weeks ago, with an eye toward using them to drive my BESL passive subs. I ran across this thread just today... | |
| Need quality flexible power cord for CD player.... I replaced a Flavor 1 Cryo on my Bel Canto DAC 1 with the Soundstring Low Power. The Soundstring is quite unimpressive looking, but the sound is very smooth. I'm pleased... | |
| Favorite CD treatments? I'll definitely second you on Herbie's mat, Spencer. Interestingly, it's not that great on SACDs (at least in my changer, the fabulously cheap (and fabulous!) Sony DVP-NC685V). After a little experimentation, an Audio Prism CD Blacklight is the be... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? I clean new records first with Last Power cleaner on both sides, then with Nitty Gritty fluid and vacuum it off with a Record Doctor II. Used records get the Audio Intelligent treatment. Before and after each play I run a couple of revolutions wit... | |
| Turntable as tuner? Well, I _thought_ that the ferrite things had fixed the problem, but I was mistaken. It turns out that (although the interconnects were a part of the problem), the real culprit was the cable on the wall-wart that powers my Project Phono Box. Wrapp... | |
| Sagging power cable at IEC outlet - any remedies? A #2 Vibrapod worked for me. | |
| Power cord suggestions to improve cd playback I have a VH Audio Flavor 1 pc on my Denon cdp and am very happy. I have also used a Signal Cable Magic Power digital cable to bring the juice to a dyi power strip and it works well | |
| Subwoofer Cable for a Klipsch RSW-15 If it's any help, I've been very pleased with BetterCables Silver Serpent sub cables. I have a pair of Boston PV600 subs, hardly thunderboxes but very quick, tight and musical. | |
| Sand filling Premier S-series speaker stand, How? Unless you really need the extra weight (e.g., for stability, perlite is as good or better than either sand or lead for damping vibrations and it weighs a _lot_ less. During a recent move I removed the sand in my Vienna Acoustics Mozarts and repla... | |
| Spray or brush on material for inside sheet metal? I put a set of Tenderfeet from Herbie's Audio Labs under my preamp and the effect was nothing short of amazing, so much so that I figured I had to be hallucinating! Much more detail & clarity, greatly enlarged soundstage, more stable placement... | |
| Turntable as tuner? Finally fixed the problem with a pair of AudioQuest RF Blockers (RS wanted $21/4, the AQs wee only $4 more and seemed to be much higher quality) on each cable and a pair of All Clears on the TT phono stage cable. Nothing less seemed to work. Thank... | |
| Turntable as tuner? I'm tending to think that it's an RFI problem, too. Further experimentation: late last night I tried an old Kimber IC I have and the problem worsened dramatically, I think because of the lack of shielding. The cables I have right now are AQ Diamon... |
