| Taking care of lacquer wood finishes Souljasmooth - If you go with a more traditional furniture polish, my Avalon speakers included a bottle of Woodleys fine furniture polish. It doesn't contain any silicones or waxes. I figure if it came with the Avalon's it must be OK. | |
| Taking care of lacquer wood finishes Souljassmooth I used to have JM focal utopia speakers with a black piano gloss finish. It was a challenge to not damage the surface. The best thing I found was Zaino Z-2 show car polish. It does not leave not a film, powder and has no abrasives or... | |
| Diana Krall Survey A lot opinions so far. I rather like her music partnership with Elvis Costello. I find the music interesting with a different flavor. In regards to the quality of the recordings, I'm sure a lot of folks would want to have Tommy LiPuma and Al Schmi... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes Erndog I am also using the Sophia as my 6SN7 tube and also haven't looked back for my Modwright / Sony. Jburidan I will be keeping my RCA (Mullard) as a back up to my Create tube. As a reference point I use Vintage Tube Service for any NOS stuff. ... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes I also swapped my vintage Mullard (RCA) for the Create Audio tube in my Modwright player. Right out of the box to my ears it sounded as good as the Mullard and with some run in it will only get better. The 5AR4 tubes last a long time so once you f... | |
| Crisp sounding tubes for Modwright 5400ES Ok I will chime in on this one. I just replaced my RCA (Mullard) with the Create tube. It sounds about the same as the Mullard, not worse, so I need to let it break in before I can really decide if it's that much different. | |

| Smooth/Musical Bookshelves upto $1500 - $2000 Not to throw a wrench into the mix but the Revel M106 speakers are supposed to be special based on the early hype from CES....release in April. It would be interesting to listen to the Nola and Harbeth offerings. | |
| Is good customer service about dead? My Best is Keith Herron of Herron Audio. He responds to e-mails quickly, has done upgrades at a reasonable dollar value and helped me with some trades. It doesn't get any better. | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Podeschi,Have you removed the existing fuse on the Modwright? If it has a F on the label it is a fast-blow fuse, if it has a T or S on it is a slow-blow. It may also be imprinted on the fuse housing. If it doesn't have a marking, and the fuse fila... | |

| Any Herron M1A amp early impressions out there? I had my M150's upgraded to the M1's or as Keith said with the same upgrades as being made to the M1's. However, I also upgraded to the VTSP-3A at the same time so I can't describe which change made the biggest difference. I would assume the 3A...... | |
| Room Treatments I started with the corners of the room and then worked my way to the reflection points and the wall behind the speakers. It's fairly easy to determine where or what you need by playing some music and walking around the room. In an untreated room y... |
