Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers?
Menzerna is a top shelf brand but once you add a machine to the mix you need to be careful if you do not have prior experience. Lot's of tutorials on YouTube though. Autogeek dot net is awesome - they have everything you could possibly need - I'v... 
Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers?
Lot’s of good and also silly suggestions here...a few suggestions and corrections if you will... don’t use alcohol on your speakers, eye glasses or TV yes, treat like automotive paint yes, spray your clean dust cloth lightly with distilled wa... 
Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD
@jjss49 thanks for the tip on pass amps    
Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD
@jjss49 Good insight thank you. I'm moving further away from Luxman / Accuphase and now more interested in Pass / Moon and maybe Gryphon - or staying where I am unless I can test-drive something used in my system.  
Upgrading My Vinyl Set Up
@ghdprentice Like I said, if money is no object...(then they are not over priced). They protect their MSRP very very well (kudos to them), but COGS is likely less than 10% of MSRP. Without seeing their balance sheet, I'm guessing they are doing p... 
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
+1 on the SD fuse box, mine has been in for a week along with the Puron AC conditioner that VeraFi distributes...they work and trying them has zero risk other than shipping fees.  
Upgrading My Vinyl Set Up
I'm not sure what the question is? Or is the question "does anyone have a similar set up?" Regarding the potential cable change; I sold my Purple Flare's and the proceeds covered the cost of Zavfino NOVA's which are far superior (in my system).  ... 
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
@lourdes  Did not notice one bit of sound improvement This has been my experience, however the swiss digital fuse box was a different story.

@dayglow Very helpful, thank you. Any comments on the V2 vs. V1 considering there is a V1 for sale for $5500?  
Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD
@dayglow Interesting contender, thanks. There is a 700i V1 for sale on USA for $5500 which seems like a pretty good deal.  
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
and I sure don’t want to open old wounds and trench warfare. Then don’t question audiophile ________:) I need objective facts and not opinions, please. Wrong forum. Objective facts are tough to come by, because so many questions (and respon...

@eugene81 Thanks, very helpful. Pass just keeps coming up and heat is not a factor.   
Dynamic Range - the golden key to music nirvana?
My vote is limit posts to 500 words (1/4 of this one). Fortunately I bailed after the first 100.   
Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD
@marco1 I tend to agree; if I'm going to make an end-game change to maximize the potential of the big Harbeth's, the INT 250 is probably the one.   
Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD
@donquichotte Thank you for the detailed and informative review.  What I've learned from this thread is that I need to be very patient and audition whatever I buy next, if anything. Accuphase (but maybe not the E650) and Pass are likely the short...
