Modified SCD-1 Service ?
I sent me heavily modified Sony SCD-1 to the Sony service Center in Laredo, TX and today heard they will be replacing the motors, lasers and ROM chip. It seems the local repair centers are indeed not able to secure parts, but the Larado, TX servic... 
Do you buy Insurance for Stereo Equipment?
My agent, who is a friend told me my equipment was covered under the homeowners policy and the equipment did not need to be scheduled. I explained the cost issues, and he said my policy had enough room to cover all my household items plus my syste... 
Review: Plinius SA-102 power amp
Hi Valhalla,Sorry I didn't answer you sooner. I still own my Plinius SA-102 and love it. I have been able to hear many different amps over the years, but the Plinius still is my choice. 
Replacement Plasma Cord, Shielding???
I had the chance to try a very high end power cord, used for my stereo on my Plasma TV. The cord, Dream State "Epic" is not shielded, and I was using it just to burn it in.The result of a high end cord surprised me, the colors were quite noticeabl... 
Aesthetix Calypso Signature vs. ARC REF 3
I think you're mistaking the tube statement. The Calypso is great with stock tubes, but because it only needs two 12AX7's and two 6922's, it tends to benefit from NOS. I could be more than happy with stock tubes, but knowing what is possible, I fo... 
Just got Audible Illusions L1, but it sound harsh
DNA-1 is a great choice

Dunlavy SC VI's...
What a mean thing to say. I spoke to John many times, and admittedly he cut cost on the crossover and internal wiring. He helped talk me through what I might do... 
Dunlavy SC VI's...
Jonathan,I also have my IVa's on points. In my case I uses BDR pucks and cones. Same result. In order to keep the tweeter at its original height I removed the Dunlavy base completely (do not do this with kids or pets) which might have clarified th...

Crossover component upgrade, DUELUND????
I see I never did finish this discussion. I instead wrote a full review on my crossover modifications. Please check it out at http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rspkr&1164387495 Pedrillo, keep us informed! 
Dunlavy SC VI's...
In theory the perfect placement would be along the long wall with the tweeter 1/3rd into the room and you 1/3rd into the room. This sounds impossible, so next best is 1/5th into the roomÂ…Third best is along the short wall, 1/3rd into the room but ... 
Dunlavy SC VI's...
what is the room size? The equipment wall is how long? and the width? 
Aesthetix Calypso or ARC LS26?
Standard Calypso vs. ARC LS26 is close, signature Calypso is hands down Aesthetix. I love the Calypso for it's simplicity, two tube sets which can be easily rolled for great results. The bass is wonderful, midrange near perfect and treble is clear...
