Cable Characteristcs - Silver vs. Copper
Just to add to what Bigkidz mentioned, there are alloy IC's which eliminate the debate about which single metal can be made to sound best.My favorite manufacturer in this category is Auricle Audio Design, and when auctions end "his prices are insa...

Enter the word "Aronov" in the Audiogon search to read user comments from the past. My direct detailed response yesterday to your question has not been posted by moderator(?).Briefly, Aronov is going to surprise you positively with its ability und... 
Cable/Interconnect Suggestions for MF X-150/Totems
The very best bargain in Audiogon auction interconnect that I have discovered is from Auricle Audio Design. Apparently, not noticed among the multitude of offerings, but one really cannot argue with wire this obviously great when auction makes ava... 
tube rush aronov ls-9000
I have heard no tube rush with similar circuit topology and stock parts and tubes incorporated into the integrated LS-960I, nor did I notice any when I auditioned earlier the LS-9000 with the excellent LS-9100 mono power amps, a setup that did not... 
Liquid CD treatments?
Tbg, What do you use as a safe and simple method to remove a previous treatment when getting a CD ready to receive newer application? So far, I have just applied any newer product to previously untreated surfaces. 
Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
Really enjoyed your review accompanied by so much that really rings true about being a long time audiophile in a world that never quite rewards constant striving to finally get it right. Even your references to the unannointed around us finally he...

Sorry for the duplicated postings. Did not intend to overwhelm the thread by brute force. 
What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock?
Each time when I took the CLC from my office to my home, carpool pasengers spontaneously remarked how wonderful the selections on the local classical music station sounded that day. Since we're talking about a sixteen year plain old GM Delco FM ra...

What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock?
Although threads about "tweaks" inevitably contain more jokes than information, in my listening sessions there is a sense of clarity (or, perhaps detailing is better word) with enhanced micro and macro dynamic contrasts when called for by the reco... 
Review: Auricle Audio Encore Ka ICs
Another wonderful product to accompany his analog interconnects is the newer Encore Signature Digital interconnect which did improve (or burn-in) over the first hours of use in one of my systems where the analog interconnects had already been inst... 
Liquid CD treatments?
Having tried a few of these treatments it is safe to say they are definitely for real.I also use the Marigo Lab 3-D Signature CD mat routinely, although a cheaper way is to use Herbie's Grungebuster CD mat(s), to give you confidence in the ability... 
Review: Reimer Wind River GS Speaker
Thanks for mentioning the relatively esoteric recordings that you use for speaker evaluation. The rest of your system seems very capable, even though less adventurous than your venture into the world of excellent, virtually bespoke, loudspeakers. ... 
Need interconnects for new cd player
I don't think you need to exactly "match" your CD player.Just go for some excellent IC that competes at the highest level, such as from Realitycables.com. You will be very surprised how much of the sound from your Sony quality player was previousl...

You should be able to find some annual library book sales (which include records and CD's) since this is often a fund-raising tradition in any community with a library in New York and nearby Connecticut. Use Google to look for "book sale" and the ...
