| High Gloss Wood Finish - High-End or Low Class? Since you asked, a high gloss sheen is appropiate on some furniture, not on others. In your case Art Deco furniture had a satin to semi-gloss sheen, but never a high gloss mirror sheen. However, it is your furniture and if you like it, so be it. C... | |
| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? Dave,Some of the mags spoke very highly of the XA777ES, mostly refering to the SACD playback. I bought one without listening to it first (never a good idea) and found it to be clinical on both SACD/CD. I wouldn't describe it's sound as anything cl... | |
| Power & line conditioners - One size fits all? Trying to cure sibilance is not always an easy thing to do. As Fatparrot stated, adding a LC is always a good idea, but I agree with him that it's got more to do with the gear choice. I'd start with the source. Try a tubed output CD player, someth... | |
| Power & line conditioners - One size fits all? The harshness you are talking about is called sibilance, the "ssssssss" sound on female vocals and poor recordings. What source are you using? Did this problem start after you moved to your new house or has it been there all along? Which B&W s... | |

| What high-end cdp for low-end quality CD's ? Recommend? Take a look at the Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista SACD/upsampling CD player. It can make good redbook CD's sound amazingly close to SACD's and "bad" CD's sound pretty good. | |

| Polk SDA Speaker info needed... You asked the same questions and received the same answers on the Polk site. What, do you think they don't know what they are talking about??? Buy the damn cable from Polk, it's only about $40.00 and if you ever sell the speakers it will make the ... | |
| Will low moisture harm a veneered MDF speaker? You shouldn't have any problems, MDF is very stable and the veneer glues used today are fairly bulletproof. As long as the clearcoat finish is in good shape, so is the veneer. The worst thing you can do is get the speakers too close to the heat so... | |
