| EAC question You have to set EAC to freedb in settings. I think you also have to enter an email address. I have always put a fake email address. Another nice free tool is Cuetools. It does so many useful things like converting file types. It can also check y... | |
| Ups and downs of audio No. I would never buy a component without hearing it in my system first. There is no way to know if the component will have synergy without hearing it. This is why dealers are so useful. I have bought most of my equipment used from dealers I c... | |
| Looking to purchase a new Reciever and I need some help! You loose money when you keep upgrading. I would seriously look at the Yamaha A-S2100. This is one of their latest Natural Sounds components and it sounds superb. Ridiculously good for the money and the build quality is excellent. There are a cou... | |
| What is the best software to play hi-res files? Foobar2000, just right click on the flac file or album folder and choose play. No fuss, no mess and it is free. | |
| Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ? Regarding Rolex, they are no more of a lifetime purchase than any other good watch, like Omega, etc. Just an overblown legend. I have had my Rolex for over 25 years and it still works perfectly. I have my dad's 1952 Oyster and it still run... | |

| Equipment rack with hollow tubes. It is for vibration and so the metal does not ring. It works really well for turntables. I use a VPI turntable stand filled with sand for my ClearAudio Inovation Wood turntable. For tube gear I prefer maple. I went from a SolidSteel rack to a Zo... | |
| Spay for CD The best product I have seen for CDs is the AudioDesk CD Sound Improver. It trims and balances the CD so it has less jitter and is easier to read. We did tests ripping a CD and then ripping it again after using the AudioDesk. The CDs we tried a... | |
| Audio Research SP3-a1 I sent my V70 amp to Audio Research some years ago. The amp was almost 20 years old at the time. They did a superb job on it and the inside looked like new. I think they actually cleaned the circuit board. I would not be surprised if they do the ... | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover folkfreak, have you compare the Marigo Mystery feet to the new IsoAcoustics Orea isolation feet? I am thinking of borrowing a set of the Indigo from my ARC dealer to try. | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover Probably not. But if the cover is close enough for the 6550 to melt the thinner cover, I have my doubts that the 6550 is getting enough ventilation. Heat build up can cause tubes to age more rapidly and fail prematurely. I wish ARC had also done... | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover Dweller, That is a very good idea. That would help vent heat and still look good. tattooedtrackman, I have no doubt the new cover looks really nice. I just wonder how hot it actually gets inside the case. | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover The proper fix would have been a hole above the 6550 to act as a chimney and vent the heat. The extra thick cover may solve a symptom but not the problem. The cover is still too close to the 6550 and trapping too much heat. Excessive heat is bad... | |

I would also buy from a dealer if possible who will check the setup for you. ClearAudio make a couple of these packages. Other manufactures do as well. I woul... | |
| Shunyata CX cables The Black Mamba CX have a cult following, especially the HC version. They are excellent power cords for the money. But don't get caught up and over pay. |
