Which CD side to touch the plastic sleeve?
Great idea about those ultra slim jewel cases doubling the storage space for precious original CD's. Dealers just love it when you ask to hear a few favorite CD's, and then out will come that small case with a double dose of my "records to die for... 
Which CD side to touch the plastic sleeve?
Thanks everyone for such thorough answers.I'll probably just continue to use my regular weighty carry cases with the regular CD jewel cases inside so I can be safe with all my original CD's, when on my way to an audio store, or club meeting.My car... 
Any experience with AAD's 2001 or 2002 speakers?
If you have not yet seen the ad for Platinum Audio Solo's, from the same designer's earlier company, take a look at the biggest $625 bargain. Just listed here on Audiogon.Even the matching stands are available, for even further optimization. I am ... 
Power cable suggestion for Classe CA300
Although I am a broken record on the topic, please try Lloyd Walker's SST contact enhancer on any power cord you end up selecting, and you should look forward to hearing more of what your amp is designed to deliver. Admittedly, I have not heard yo... 
Burn-in CD
Although I had already used multiple plays of the 74 minute PAD CD-R for burn-in, there was a rather dramatic further improvement with the dedicated machine burn-in from George Saubon of cableburner.com for two sets of Marigo analog interconnects.... 
Review: Kubala-Sosna Emotion Interconnects Interconnect
They did sound great in a number of demo rooms, optimizing a number of fine systems at the recent NYC Stereophile Home Entertainment Show.Interestingly, Kharma loudspeakers, the choice for your own home system, sounded beautiful in one of the Show... 
Kubala-Sosna & Meitner Emm Labs Gets my top Vote
This review is right on the money. At the recent NYC Stereophile Home Entertainment Show I had the opportunity to meet Joe Kubala, and hear the top of the line Kubala-Sosna Emotion wiring in a variety of excellent sounding rooms. So many fine, est... 
$5000 to spend....
I believe Audiogon member Tpsonic can have Walker Audio SST shipped to you at a reasonable cost, or he (Tom) can tell you who to contact to obtain any Lloyd Walker product. If you look at his system, posted here on Audiogon, you get more than a hi... 
$5000 to spend....
Please save your cash. My current low cost recommendation to amaze yourself with the "hidden potential" of your present system involves a micro purchase of Walker Audio SST contact enhancer, which I first "heard" in the Lloyd Walker suite during t...

VPI HW-16.5 vs HW-17 record cleaning machines
You should check out the discussion archive here on Audiogon referring to "RRL" vinyl cleaning solutions. These made the records cleaned on my 16.5 sound the best ever.Completely compatible with either the 16.5, or the 17. 
Stylus Cleaning Schedule?
I have been using the ZeroDust (gel pad into which one lowers the stylus tip) before each side, followed by very light brushing on of the Last Stylus treatment that is called "Stylast". 
Anyone using Sheer Audio Platter on Rega P25?
Take a look at the F-2 Titanium Heavyweight Counterweight from Audiogon member, Gregory_Kerry. I have been continually astonished how it upgraded my Rega RB-300, and resulting vinyl listening pleasure. Similarly, I found a smaller, but meaningful ... 
Herman eats crow, RRL record cleaning fluids work
I also found the RRL cleaning fluids were better than previously tried commercial products. David(4yanx) has been kind enough to gift myself, and others, with starter amounts of these products, just for the joy of helping his fellow vinyl fanatics... 
Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ???
The classic Apt Holman preamp is accompanied by an exhaustive manual that is sometimes sold separately. It explains the thinking behind some really innovative design features of this unit, and tells how to use these features.Tomlinson Holman went ...
