Walker Audio Extreme SST
I've used Quick Silver on my circuit breakers and AC wall receptacles with wonderful results. It is definitely worth the time or expense, should you need to pay an electrican to do so. 
Eagles Concert Guitar Player
Based on their treatment of Don Felder, I didn't watch it. From those who did that I've asked, their performance level wasn't to par with "Hell Freezes Over", so perhaps between that and the commercials, maybe I didn't miss much? 
Stereophile review- Fisher 500 C
Nanderson: I could bring the 500C inside and hook them up to my Magico 3's, but I don't think that I'd leave it installed for any amount of time. Considering that I bought my 500C at a garage sale in mint condition for $20 about 25 to 30 years ago... 
Stereophile review- Fisher 500 C
I've had a Fischer 500C out in the garage since the 70's, along with a pair of AR-3's. Great for a garage ... certainly not anything to get overly excited about though. Just my honest opinion. 
Musical Fidelity A300 mod by Tube Research Labs
I've noticed that TRL mods are incredible right out of the box, but continue to get better and better until they reach around 500 hours. Have you noticed this with the MF A300? 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Lkdog: Thanks for your praise, but I'm no expert. Quick Silver is an amazing product, period. The only downfall of the prodcut is that in audio applications, the sound will suck (bad) for the first 24 to 36 hours. I just let my player run on repea... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Lk: What did TRL charge for your Musical Fidelity A 300 mod? 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
LA45: Hey cousin! Don't forget me ... I'll have my SA-14 in a week, will live with it for a few days (just to know its voicing/resolution) then will be sending it off.I heard my friends TRL/14 again yesterday. I really need this player.

TRL 595-how good is it?
I agree, TVAD. I've already bookmarked his post.You're right, Lkdog, this is a crazy hobby ... 
First Sound Presence mk11 vs Audio Research L.S.25
Tvad: I really didn't wish to interrupt a perfectly fine thread, in fact I thought I was helping it, given my explanation as to who actually designed the circuit. (The man has a fairly decent reputation ...). Like yourself, I hate it when pissing ... 
First Sound Presence mk11 vs Audio Research L.S.25
TVAD: I'd feel the same as you, if the situation were reversed. I understand how Noel has made improvements that were not included in the original design, such as embelical cords and separate transformers, EMF shielding, etc. You can feel free to ... 
First Sound Presence mk11 vs Audio Research L.S.25
Drubin: There may be more to the story than what you have been told ...Never the less, the First Sound is quite good and would be my first choice if the wonderful TRL GTP-3 or GTP-4 wasn't available. Cheers!Jack Seaton 
TRL 595-how good is it?
Which $20K players/combos are not as good as the TRL/Sony 595? Well, I had a EMM Labs (Meitner) combo in my system for over a month (and it was already broken in). That's not quite $20K, but it isn't too far off. (I have first hand experience. How... 
best CD player or DAC under $1000
Thank you speaker art for sharing your experience. I agree, TRL is offering a huge improvement for little money. Just curious ... Are you the same "Speaker Art" that I've seen at the trade shows for the past 20 years?
