| Crackle and hiss on some albums I would highly recommend sending your records to PerfectVinylForever, a record cleaning service. His is no ordinary ultrasonic cleaning process; it’s a multi-step cleaning done with proprietary equipment that he designed himself. I know, you’re th... | |

| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range I’ll throw in my two cents worth for your consideration. I’ve cycled through three pairs of speakers — B&W bookshelves, Usher MD2, and currently, what I think will be the last speakers I ever purchase — the Scansonic MB6-B. Scansonic is the v... | |
| Stephen Stills I too pickup his “new” album, Live at Berkeley — it’s classic Stills from razor sharp guitar licks to his soulful voice. I’ve seen he and “the boys” (C,N,&Y) on several occasions and they rarely disappointed. The last time was a bit hard — th... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had Anyone found a good speaker cable for Scansonic MB6-B speakers? | |
| Opinions on speaker upgrade choices I’ve ordered a pair of Scansonic MB6-B speakers and am now looking for good speaker cables that are a good match. Anyone have any thoughts about this? | |
| AXPONA — PS Audio Thanks all. Very helpful comments. | |
| Axpona 2023 I totally agree with Curiousjim — dayglow’s reviews are better than anything I can find in the magazines! I was listening to the Scansonic MB 6B — at $15k I thought it was unbeatable. That was until I listened to the Børresen X3 — it sure sounded... | |
| Axpona 2023 Thanks, Dayglow — your comments were some of the most helpful I’ve received. I thought you were spot on with comments about the Canton and MA speakers. Good perspectives on the X3 — I was a bit nervous about the “fake” sound myself. Did you liste... | |
| Axpona 2023 I totally agree with Benzman — the Borresen X3 speakers at $11,000 are one of the best values I’ve ever seen. To my ear, they sounded as good as the $22k Von Schweikerts. Another value play — the Scansonic MB 6B (by Raidho) for $15k. Their ans... | |

| Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1 Thanks pryso — especially the tip on matching speakers to the JC1s power. | |
| Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1 Thanks, Ron. I’ve added Rockports to my list to audition at AXPONA. I’ve read about them before and they get rave reviews. Thanks again — appreciate your comments on the FR30s too. | |
| Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1 I’m not a big horn guy but the SalkSound speakers look very interesting. Have not heard of so I’ll do some checking. Forgot to add ProAc speakers — they’ve been very good when I’ve auditioned them. | |
| Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1 Thanks very much — everyone’s comments are very helpful. My preferences lean to a very detailed sound, with clear highs and deep lows and a large soundstage. I listen to literally all types of music including jazz, classical, male and female voca... |
