| Is the stylus dirty? I can tell you that even if you do not own a higher powered microscope to see the grung on your stylus, you certainly can hear it. I've converted many of my audio buddies just by taking my bottle of LP#9 along with me when I've gone over to enjoy ... | |

| Bybee vs Z Sleeve vs ERS sheets vs Walker HDL's The use of ERS has been covered in detail at Audio Asylums' Tweak Asylum. I've found that you can overdamp with ERS if you use too much. Those that have had good results with ERS have spent time using their ears determine how much is needed for th... | |
| Hi Fi Pretensions... Why don't you visit an audio store to see if what they have to offer better suits you? It's free for you to visit the store, explain your situation, listen to a few demo systems and LET YOUR EARS determine whether or not your current system is whe... | |
| Purist Audio & Stereophile Many of the better products are rarely seen in review. Purist Audio is included in the group right along with Jadis, Tube Research, Meitner, and First Sound. You rarely see these manufacturers mentioned, though they make some wonderful gear. Why y... |
