Preamp, Sub, and Magnepan connect

Where to buy record cleaning fluids
Hello,Radiohead, Markd51's point is well taken. In an effort to help I would offer up a DIY solution for you. Mix one gallon of distilled water to 16 ounces of Isopropyl alcohol, it will say like 90% or better concentration on the alcohol bottle i... 
Where to buy record cleaning fluids
Bill,I think what dolph is saying, is that as usual your inflamatory and degrading remarks are best left to the those in your circle that have chosen to deal with them/you. When I was looking to find a record cleaning solution recipe, I gave not a... 
Magico Mini 2 Best preamp /amp/ phono /cable
Yep, gotta agree with ya Clavil. Cables have a great effect on the sound. Maybe Jkalman has not gotten to a point where his system is resolving enough to hear a difference? 
Magnepan MG1.6
If they are from 2007, they should be current. 
speakers for my yamaha rx-v1700
The only speakers that I have heard that sound really good on a lesser expensive AV receiver was the Def Tech Mythos. Now those things sound smokin!! 
Brass screw tweak, seen in Virtual Dynamics video.

McIntosh MC352 or MC402?

Anyone hear technics tt and vpi scoutmaster/Aries?
Could'nt agree with you more Tvad. He indeed does have a system worth the effort and expense. I say if you want a VPI, then buy a used HRX and be done with it. You can sell it for not much of a loss later if it is not for you.
