| Lifting speaker cables I got rid of a hum when I lifted my Harmonic Tech Pro 9s off the carpet using ceramic cable isolators. I got no difference at all when I used the same lifters with signal cable brand products. Go figure! | |

| Which integrateds have the best preamp section? Jeff Rowland Design Group Concentra II or Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 300. I have owned both of these very fine units. Warm, quiet and lots of power in the output stage. They are also very easy to look at (high WAF). I'm currenly using the Tri-Vist... | |
| Warmer sounding CD Players? Add a Musical Fidelity X10v3 Tube Buffer to your system between the player and the preamp. You can get them all day long on AudioGon for around $300 and if you're not satisfied...resell it. I use one with my Muscial Fidelity A3.2 and think it has ... | |

| Conservative Politics & Rock Music Rock'nRoll by its very nature and foundation is apolitical. It was funded on rebellion, and giving the system the finger. If you look at the words to old songs from the 50's and 60's when sensorship was in full bloom, there were many references to... | |
| Home theater furniture - husband vs. wife Call Peter at Bavaria Racks, (Audiogon member) he built me the most beautiful rack with a very high WAF. Great price as well. Gooooood Luck! | |
| The Perfect Speakers for Jeff Rowland Concerto Int I have no idea! I have not heard the Concerto, sorry if I gave that impression, I owned both the Concentra I and the II models. Best to go demo the set up or better yet see, if your dealer will set it up on a Friday for you to audition over the we... | |
| The Perfect Speakers for Jeff Rowland Concerto Int Polabear119,I used the JRDG phono card for a while but found it flat for my tastes, that's not saying much. I switched to the Musical Phenonena with battery pack and found it gave me a much warmer and smoother sound because of the many gain and im... | |

I may just be suseptable to the "salesmans yarn" but I was told by a couple of MF dealers in different parts of the country that the only difference between a Trivista SAC... |
