Audioquest silver extreme interconnects
I bought these cables and love them, they sound much better than the copper Audioquest cables they replaced. Much more detail and more natural sounding, not bright either, at least in my system. 
Tweaks
My gear still sounds great, no problems with the silver treatment leaking or causing damage. It's been in use for months now, I'm glad I got around to putting this stuff on the tube pins. 
Tweaks
I did apply just a tiny tiny amount, I never touched the tubes before being afraid of blowing up my system, but after reading the instructions I gave it a shot and loved the end result, as for now... I hope nothing bad happens in the future, I wil... 
Mcintosh MA2275 what's better
I agree totally on the tube rolling, I did that and could not believe the difference it made..... How they can demo these amps in the showrooms with the stock tubes is beyond me..... Now I once hooked up a cd player directly to the amp in section ... 
New LP with pops + crackle, What is expected?
Try an anti-static gun as well as cleaning a new record, the Milty Zerostat is a must...... In my case I found most of the pops came from static. 
Buy new tubes, or use "stock tubes?"
I have a Mcintosh MA2275, tube rolling made a huge wonderful improvement........ the stock tubes were horrible. I've bought from Upscale Audio and The Tube Depot with great results. 
In the Air tonight DRUMS - phil collins on LP
I find no record of Chester playing on that track..... 
PLEASE HELP ME. NEED ADVICE
I had a constant buzz through my system when inputing the cable box...... Satellite box never made a buzz but the cable box created a loop..... now I keep video and music separated...... 2 ch. is only music...... No more buzz of any kind..... 
G'N'R Chinese Democracy LP
Zigonht, I second your statement. 
Vienna Acoustics sounded terrible at Magnolia
I tried to start a thread on my Magnolia expirience.... I never saw it appear...... the big room has glass doors and the sound was crazy for me too, I listened to a pair of Sonus Faber Elipsas powered with Mcintosh........ they had the bass and tr... 
Record is noisier after cleaning:
Get a static gun, the Milty Zerostat works for me.... it gets rid of almost all pops when I use it........ I thought all the pops were from dirt or dust, now I know static makes a big ugly sound. 
The Police Live
I saw them in New Orleans and the show was pretty darn good....... They are not ripping it up like the old days......... they admitted to doing the "nose candy" when they were on the road back then, I read that in Mojo........... I knew something ... 
Most helpful audio companies
I just got off the phone with Dusty at Channel Islands, he was checking my phono pre......... it turned out just fine, the problem was in my system........ any way he was so patient and nice and cool and I could go on forever, Great guy. I've had ... 
Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives?
I bought the Paul Speltz anticables and I'm very, very pleased, I didn't do a backflip when I installed them but I just don't think about speaker wire anymore, it just doesn't cross my mind. I went from $500+ PADs to the anticables. 
HDMI to DVI Cable
Will work perfectly........I've read that the DVI and HDMI carry the same video information (digital), HDMI carries digital audio also. The only player that gave me trouble with this setup was an arcam 137, every other player I've tried (HDMI to D...
