Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa
I did the screw change. Changed all the screws on the drivers and the crossover plate. I did not do anything inside the speakers. Wnet to a hardware store like Tom said and got brass screws. All said and done. It did make a difference. There was m... 
Anyone using VIBRAPLANE under turntable? results?
I have a vibraplane under my turntable and it does improve the sound quite a bit. You will notice that everything clers up.You will also notice that there is a layer of haze that went missing that you never knew was there before.There is very litt... 
power cord recommendayion
Hi Ramesh, Long time since. Try the Isoclean Focus power cords. They work like a charm. This is the best value for all they make. Email me when you have time. 
Benz Ruby 2 vs Ruby 3
Why not get the Audio Note IO-1 cartridge? It's an excellent cart. I am using the IO-2v and have not looked back. Since you're using an allAudio Note system, why not try their cartridges? They are really good sounding. The only thing is that you w... 
12" Tonearm What Have You Heard & Recommend?
Try a Fidelity FR-66s. I just acquired one and the sound is as good or better than anything else i've heard. I have an Audio Note IO-2v mounted on it and it makes a great combo. 
Should we upgrade high end fuses?
Why not? If you can spend hundreds and thousands on a high end power cord, I am sure a fuse would make significant improvements. REMEMBER.....after your 20A dedicated lines, to your cryo'd outlets then to your gigantic power cords, the current ult... 
Using Japan 100V Accuphase amp in US 120V. Safe?
ANything 100V plugged to 120V will likely suffer from overheating as the xformers are stressed. There might be the odd case that it works fine. 
Koetsu
FYI, the full retail prices of Koetsu, Benz Micro in the Orient are almost the same as the dealer costs in North America. Sometimes maybe lower.Anyone can by SME V tonearms for less in Hong Kong than your local dealer pays for his stock.The North ... 
Top ten DD turntables of all time?
Just picked up a Nakamichi TX-1000 turntable. Installed a Fidelity Research Fr-66s tonearm and an Audio Note IO2 Cartridge on it. It sounds absolutely fabulous. This is the best analog setup I have ever owned. Beats my Oracle/SME combo any time of... 
Isoclean Fuse
IMO, the fuse had nothing to do with the bias level. NO, you should not put a higher fuse value than the original value. I fuse does nothing except blow at specified value. Your ARC does not max out the 6.25A all the time..probable not even close.... 
Isoclean Fuse
I know that they have a 6.3A because I bought 1 for my rowland amp. Ask them to order some for you. 
Why so many "newer" Mac's for sale?

About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
My deepest sympathy goes to Pat's family. Thanks to Barb for sharing his last moments with all of us. I wish I could have done the same if I was in your position. That alone shows us a lot of character and courage on your part. This alone will mak... 
Compare Audio Note UK Sogon to Kondo KSL-LP
I will try to answer this for you. I am a fan of Audio Note Japan....not the UK stuff. I am sure that the UK stuff is good but also no match compared to the real Kondo made stuff. As for cables, I am currently using all Kondo made AN-Vz and have t... 
What is the best tube integrated amp?
I have a Jadis DA30 in my second system for many years and Boy! I can tell you that it sounds absolutely fabulous. It's just 30 watts and has loads of power for most speakers. I have used it to drive my Apogee Duettas Sigs with not much problems e...
