Good tweaking tools to share
Alexc. No I didn't pay $700, just my poor Mobie price memory while I was at work on the phone. Your right about $250 from Music Direct. I also have the NAMIKI direction finder. These all seem to be getting right tools or maintaince. 
Good tweaking tools to share
Abstrack7 Yes, several of tools listed are for basically good system maintaince. There is a obsessive part of me puts timely maintaince as a necessary otimization tweak, but you are 100% right.

Albert the torque wrenches is a good idea - I like it. We have the same Winds Stylist Gauge (0.000): $700. Don't buy anything else. This is it and it's perfect for sharing on the costs. This is a must have for any serious analog person or friends.... 
Survey-What is your most used source?
Isolated down to 100% vinyl. I know record player steps are a rictual or mantra and an important part of the home listening musical experience for me. Something about that TT- Arm and cartridge that fansinates me. Love it when friends bring over a... 
absolute best component you ever owned
This made me think about about several outstanding componets I've owned. Maybe, my response is going away from the main theme, but I've got to give this award to my VPI 17F record cleaning machine. Ten years, >6000 records and it is still deliv... 
California electrical shortage audio
If you are in CA like I am then play it safe while helping out by turning your system off when not in listening use or bring in alternative energy source to power the system. We all an strong economy. BTW: those of you that are not in CA don't thi... 
Which Cables for Sony DVP-9000ES
I appreciate the experiences being shared here because I am going to buy one these DVP-9000ES to replace my Pioneer DV-09. Wanted the SACD and progressive scan capabilities, but I don't want to sink too much money into digital unit because digital... 
Koetsu sound
This Koetsu and Jan Alberts threads are very interesting. I was able to home audition a store's demos of the Koestu U, RSP and OP in my system and in a friend's before deciding to buy the OP. We both have Graham 2.0 deluxe's so we had the cartridg... 
Aesthetix Io-Reliability Problems???
I am aghast with some of the long-term reliability comments being made here with out any specifics details on those problems and the resolution of them. I am user for over two plus years and no Aesthetix caused problems period. Yet on the other ha... 
Aesthetix Io-Reliability Problems???
I have three different tube sets for each area of Jim White's Aesthetix design. Stock Sovteks of course for everything and they were pretty good. I am doing this from work right now and don't have the exact facts in front of me right now. Please f... 
Aesthetix Io-Reliability Problems???
I have had only one pilot error problem (my fault) with Aesthetix Io (volume conrols) in two plus years of very continous use. Jim White has been fantastic with responding to my needs. I had the second power supply added to my unit and WOW that ma...

Wilson watt puppy 3/2 with Wow sub?
Beemer, good in different point of view. That's why is called a chat forum. Personally, Telsscope_trade is braver than me. I wouldn't buy a speaker system I never heard. Nor, a car I never test drove. Or... 
Any comments on Nagra amp/preamps
My day for posting, I guess. I had a 2-week home demo of the Nagra PL-P/VPAs. I absolutely want to love the Nagras because I think they are really great looking. The PL-P jewel like instrument grade appearance says "Swiss" design and manufacturing... 
Jadis Fidelity
I have owned JA-30, JA-80 and JP-80MC mkIIs. I really think Jadis has a very musical sound. I had this equipment for several years and while I wondered if there was better out there, I experienced many magical listening sessions with the Jadis. I ...
