| Has anyone used Mikrosmooth CD polish? Thanks for your responses. The theory behind the effectiveness of Microsmooth intrigues me. I can believe that the surface of CDs have micro imperfections that can be smoothed out with this polish enabling the CD laser to read the pits and valleys... | |
| Volume Control That is interesting as the Golden Cross is used by many audiophiles to tame the upper midrange and treble of digital sources that are all too often "hot" in those areas. | |
| Volume Control Not too surprising to hear that the Golden Cross enticed you to turn it up! The Golden Cross has a consistently "warm" sound in almost any application. Don't take that as a slam....some systems that have gone too far to the detailed, revealing sid... | |
| PS Audio GCC-250 - how to take it to "musicality" Do you have your components seated on "footers"? I have done a great deal of tuning in my system varying the type and composition of the footers to dial in more detail or more "musicality" as the need has arisen during the evolution of my system. ... | |
| Static The simplest solution...don't wear rubber soled footwear when listening. I only have socks on my feet when in the listening room! Never a shock. | |
| Need help with IC upgrade Cardas Golden Cross From my experience, the Kimber Select 1021 is detailed but neutral in the sense that it doesn't alter the spectral nature of the music. Very true to the recording. | |

| Power amp around $3000 for C-J Classic preamp I agree with several postings above that you should decide on the speakers first. Vandersteens have a reputation for working well with McCormack and Audio Research amps. A used cj MF2500A would be another good match for the Vandies and certainly w... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Listen to China Forbes of Pink Martini. It doesn't matter which of their 4 albums you listen to. China is it! | |
| Where can I get components footers ? I also use Herbie's Tenderfeet to great effect. Another option is Sorbothane hemispheres. If you google Sorbothane and get to the Sorbothane website the info. there will guide you. My guess for a Denon CD Player would be 3 or 4 30 Durometer hemisp... | |
| It's the Room, Stupid What Fmpnd said!! If you haven't dealt with your room's acoustics, all the equipment upgrades, new cables etc. will never get you where you want to be. | |
| I want a warmer high end Have you experimented with "footers" under your components that can tame the forwardness and the high end?I've done a lot of system tuning and every footer alters the sound differently.In your case 30 Durometer Sorbothane hemispheres or Herbie's "... | |
| Sonus Faber Extrema and CJ MF2500A Mlaurend,As said by Czbbcl above, check the demands of the speakers to ensure that the cj is a good fit.I will say this for what it's worth, the cj 2500A is the best of cj's SS amps that I have ever heard. Smooth and detailed like the 2300 but wit... | |
| Is China Forbes pitch perfect? Have you stopped taking your meds? | |
| Is China Forbes pitch perfect? Pink Martini is about as much fun as any music lover will ever find. Their music is so eclectic. China is a phenomenon. Her voice is a gift from God. I regularly enjoy all 4 Pink Martini albums. If you haven't heard them, make the effort! Hang on ... |
