| Is my CSNY De Ja Vu a bad pressing, or lost cause? The Classic Deja vu sounds excellent to me. Better in all respects than my original Atlantic which was probably not in the first few pressings. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Ok ok My fellow Agoners have convinced me to try the SR Blacks in my Ref 40 and Ref 150. Thanks for the push. Thanks I will order a 6.3A sloblo for the pre and a 8.0A sloblo for the 7. (Thanks Almarg)They are 6.3 x 32mm in size. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thinking of Synergistic blacks for my ARC Ref 150 and Ref 40 and I see that there are a number of ARC owners who have installed the Blacks in their gear notwithstanding my 2 concerns.1-The Ref 40 uses a 6amp fuse and the Ref150 uses a 7amp fuse. T... | |
| What's happened to Taters ? Also did not see eye to eye with Melbguy a/k/a Mr. Magico One dare not say anywhere in the forums that Magicos are not objectively and subjectively the best speakers ever made. Melbguy would be there to correct you. That said, I was entertained by... | |
| Does dry-brushing really do anything... The old discwasher with a few drops of solution on the edge kept my records clean enough for decades that most still look and sound great.For me, no dry cleaning process I have ever tried (Audioquest, Hunt) works as well. Ultrasonic wet is the ult... | |
| Keith Emerson of ELP.....Rest in Peace! Getting tired of saying goodbye to my childhood idols. RIP Keith. | |
| George Martin RIP The Beatles, fans of The Beatles and fans of popular music are lucky to have known George through the iconic recordings which he produced.I was fortunate many years ago (before the multipart TV broadcast of The Beatles special) to see George in a ... | |
| Considering Wilson or Sonus Faber floor standing over my Rockport monitors & Wisdom Sub I drove my watt puppy 7s for a few years with the McIntosh 2102 (100 wpc). I was very happy with that combo. So the answer is yes. Also, the WP 7s were easily my favorite WP. They were the first to be voiced musically. In fact, when the Sophias fi... | |
| Considering Wilson or Sonus Faber floor standing over my Rockport monitors & Wisdom Sub I think you will find that all Wilsons play well with tubes. Indeed I’ve owned 3 different sets (Sophia, WP7, Sasha and possibly soon to be Alexia) and have had them in house with a number of systems including all McIntosh tubes, all ARC tubes and... | |
| should i go with kt150's now or wait a bit?? I switched to KT 150s from KT 120s and while I prefer the 150s all around, it was not the huge improvement I expected. Had I known, I would have waited till my KT 120s were fully used (they only had about 800 hours) before making the move. Changin... | |
| The Beach Boys It's funny how when I was in grade school and listening to the Beatles and all of he great groups coming out of the sixties, I thought the Beach Boys made simple sing-songy music for unsophisticated tastes. They were beneath my 6th and 7th grade m... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Hi Roy:J. A. at Stereophile uses a stethoscope on cabinets when he tests them. | |

| Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner Or you can be a nut like me who cleans with an AudioDesk and rinses on a VPI 17 with reagent grade water. Do not ask me if I can tell the difference without a rinse. I've never conducted that test and probably never will. Just happy to know that i... | |
| Wilson Sasha 1 The Sasha 1 remains a great speaker only marginally improved in the Sasha 2. The prices on the Sasha 1 in great used condition are less than 1/2 a new Sasha 2 making for an excellent purchase opportunity. |
