| What to do with old inner sleevs after cleaning? I also tend to keep and reuse decent quality inner sleeves, rather than replace them with new MoFi sleeves, (like I do with the crappy cheap paper sleeves that come with some LPs.) However, if you wish to keep the inner sleeve because it has decor... | |
| Burmester test CD 001 & 002 Good Luck and be prepared to either:Pay a bucketful of money on Ebay,Or,Find a (soon to be former) friend with these CDs and "accidentally" slip them into your pocket and take them home with you,Or,Ask the same friend above if you can burn them, a... | |
| Audience Au-24 vs. Enhanced version same cable I recommend that you check out 10 Audio's review of both versions of the Audience AU24 cables.10 Audio ReviewI use the original AU24 speakers cables and have been very happy with them, but if I found the new version at a good price, I would probab... | |
| How Much Surface Noise is Too Much? I agree with Tvad, that you probably won't be getting a refund on a used record. I am sure the record store's response will be, "Hey, why didn't you inspect it before you bought it?".(Even getting a refund on a brand new sealed record is no sure t... | |
| Egglestonworks Andra II: How difficult a load? I think you might have enough power if you run the amps in A/B mode, as your amp has 100 wpc that way, right?In pure Class A mode, you only have 70 wpc, which I think would not quite be enough to get the full bass response you can obtain from thes... | |
| why does lp have light surface scratch after play? Did you notice this scratch immediately after playing the record or did you pull it out to play a second time, and then notice it?If the later, it could also be that when you put the record away after the first playing, that the paper sleeve scuff... | |
| Speakers that disappear You might want to check out this thread that Tvad started awhile back, as it is similar to your own question:Speakers with imaging "Free of the box" ThreadAs far as the best dynamic speakers I know of that disappear, first would be the Rockport An... | |
| MFSL Beatles Abbey Road Mine is the exact same way, and I bought mine new from a dealer who was selling all the Beatles MoFi albums. I seem to recall the MoFi website mentioning this as well.(Well, technically, it was a site dedicated to the MoFi releases after MoFi died... | |
| Hiss at addition in system LAMM L2 In response to Tvad's comment:"I often wonder if some of us are more sensitive to hiss than others, and were we to listen to the same system at the same time if some of us would object to hiss we hear whereas others would not."Absolutely true.I am... | |
| Mbl 101 extemes. I too heard them in Las Vegas (2007 CES).I thought they sounded good, (given the limitations of the room), but for some reason the people putting on the demonstration decided that if they played them really, Really, REALLY L-O-U-D !!!!!!!, that no... | |
| Best remote with preamp I'd recommend the Audio Research Ref. 3 preamp, as it is both a top notch preamp, and it has a full function remote. My friend has one and it is exactly like you describe your perfect preamp and remote to be. The buttons are well spaced, and the d... | |

| DarTZeels for sale My take on this is the following:One, anyone who can afford the DarTZeel products has money, and lots of it. (And that is a good thing in my book. And yes, I wish I had more of it too!) People who have lots of money can afford to buy and sell equi... | |
| Recommend analog sounding CDP with volume control. I can recommend both the Audio Aero Capitole II, which you already mentioned, and the Resolution Audio Opus 21, (which I own, btw.) Both are analog sounding cd players, IMHO. My friend owned the AA Capitole II, and he was going to sell it, as he h... | |
| EMM CDSA can be used without preamp? Not really, as it has no built-in volume control. Therefore, you'll need some sort of preamp in order to control the volume. |
