What's Going On?? Sound changes every night
I used to experience this too. Like most here have already mentioned, I think it has something to do with the electrical supply. I've gotten a BPT 3.5 Sig plc and hasn't noticed this shift since. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Bwhite:I guess I won't know until trying it out with the Elrod in my system. Thanks for the suggestions, if that combo doesn't work out I would probably go with the Electraglide next. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Wow, what a thread! I've read some of it, but unfortunately not all. I have a Sauvignon coming from Mick, and wonder what Powercords people have played with that works well with it. I'm currently holding on to an Elrod Sig 2 from my previous pre. ... 
Atma-Sphere M60 or David Berning ZH270?
LaoyuapThanks, I'm looking forward to getting the Berning. Concerning the Joule, I haven't had a chance to audition it at home. But, I have heard it on several occasions at shows and it sounds wonderful. Music is reproduced accurately across the f... 
Atma-Sphere M60 or David Berning ZH270?
Laoyuap,I will be receiving my ZH270 sometime next week. I'm using the VSM-M and was torn between the Berning and Joule Electra. I pretty much bought the Berning for the more practical reasons everyone mentioned here. The Joules are huge, and soun... 
Using Mikro-Smooth w/o Scratching
I've used the Mikro-Smooth in the past. I've always thought that the point of using it is to scratch away the thin "plastic" surface. I've used it on about ten cds, noticed very slight improvements, but no problem playing the cds eventhough they a...

No More Pop-Ups
Thanks for the tip, I'm very happy with it as well. Just a quick question, how do I keep the increased text size permanent so I don't have to increase it everytime I sign on to Audiogon? 
mp3 player: rip programs, best format?
Thanks for the detailed responses, much appreciated. I've never noticed until recently that the DVD player rips at 16X while the regular cd drive runs at 24-32x.I've purchased my pc not too long ago so I don't think it's a system issue. After the ... 
Keith Jarrett Recomendations
Musicbuff, nice find. It's when I hear stories like this that makes my vinyl itch flares up. Unfortunately, I haven't heard the Sunbear Concerts, but I have about 20 or so Jarrett cds that I really like. 
Freezer Cryoed Cables...
I don't know about the freezing the cables, but seeing that there're some merit to freezing cds, I decided to experiment . I put a copy of Kind of Blue in a zip-loc bag in the freezer for 24hrs, then in the fridge covered with a terry cloth for an... 
Freezer Cryoed Cables...
Would an aftermarket cryoed pc on the fridge yield better results?

Why Obsess Over This? Sorry, couldn't help it ;) 
Tubes for the BAT VK5i
Agree with Georgmg, the Tungsol 5881 and Amperex tubes are the way to go for the Vk-5i. For the sdj8, I went with the Orange Globe logo mixed in with some A-frame of the same type. The Orange Globe logo's overall smooth characteristic, along with ... 
Tell us compliments received on your system...
MPrime, a discussion of power cables, front end, and smooth connections with some jazz in the background work well too... As Mel Brooks would've said -It's good to be single audiophiles ;)
