| Help with understanding Stereophile test results. I hate to intrude on the question of this thread, but can anyone explain what the "compensation chart" is and what is the need/purpose of it for testing the frequency response. Maybe I should post this such questions as a new thread, but since I o... | |
| cleaning a laser Gammajo: I was basically quoting what Rick Walker told me. I assumed he was talking about a camera lens cleaning solution. If you find a specific solution tailored for use with a laser lens, you may feel safer using that solution, but I'd bet that... | |
| cleaning a laser Although I've never cleaned my lens, I was seeking advice on this subject at one time. I was cautioned by Rick Walker, the tech at Signal Path, that compressed air uses freon as a propellent and can leave a film on the lens and/or blow off the len... | |
| Help Do I have fake van den Hul Mainsstreams? Does anyone know if that guy Audiohobby sold other brand cords besides van denHull that were fakes? From the information so kindly provided by Kevziek, I'm suspecting that the van denHul Mainstream power cord I have is also a fake (bummer). I went... | |

| Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget Mrtennis: Perhaps you've already done so, but you may want to check out the review from 6moons on the Raysonic CDP. I thought it gave a fairly good idea of its sonics and has been consistent with some of the comments posted on the forums from thos... | |
| selling vinyl and feeling? For me, it has nothing to do with it being vinyl or any other medium. There is music that I was sure I would never listen to again and then gave away. Ten years later, I found myself back into some of that music I know longer had. Tastes and feeli... | |
| Life after Maggies? As a former owner of the MG 12s, the 1.6s, and the 3.6s, I can tell you its going to be quite difficult to find a speaker that gives the magic you are looking for. As I now own a pair of Merlins which throw a great soundstage like the Maggies, the... | |
| Zenith alignment with Dennesen Soundtractor I don't know the answer, but you might want to ask over at the vinyl asylum at Audioasylum.com. Those guys know their stuff. | |
| MAC Palladium IC's-Follow up, are they really..... FYI: Positive Feedback just reviewed the Mac Palladium cables: http://positive-feedback.com/Issue30/mac.htm. | |
| MAC Palladium IC's-Follow up, are they really..... I'll vouch for Ger546. I have the Mac Palladiums and they are easily the best ICs I've tried. (Of course, the usual caveats apply, that is, my system, my room and my tastes.) The Palladiums have all the smoothness and holography of silver, great p... | |
| Buzz Hum Problem I have the same ground loop problem myself eminating from my preamp. I tried a cheater plug which does eliminate the hum, but the sonics suffer terribly. Are there any audiophile quality cheater plugs or alternatives to using a cheater plug? I'd r... | |
| Audiophile 101 I'm hardly one that should be answering this post since I'm a beginner myself, maybe advanced beginner. But, here are some tips I would recommend:1) Remember that your room is part of your system.2) Experiment with speaker placement. Half the prob... | |
