| What music do you use to audition new gear? Another idea is Passion by Peter Gabriel. Well recorded and very varied in tones because he uses instruments from all over the world. | |
| What music do you use to audition new gear? I enjoy the sound of good raw edgy rock and high amp Jazz. Some of my favorites.Perfect Night in London -- Lou Reed (see Stereo Times 2004 review which states: "What makes this recording an absolute audiophile gem is how the whole power grid of Lo... | |
| what do you use to remove your tubes? One of Tiger Woods' golf gloves | |
| Hegel Amplifiers With Hegel, it's important to be mindful of the use of dialectic wires. My suggestion is the thesis/antithesis models. | |
| what do you use to remove your tubes? I used 1200 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets washed in perfume free detergent to remove tubes. Lower count risks oils to be left on the tubes. | |
| Jungson or other chinese CD players? How much are these units. Double check you can get them serviced. | |
| Triangle Titus Xs Love 'em. They take FOREVER to break in. Quite literally, my Celius didn't get smooth until 500 hrs of usage. They are amazing. They, in my view, blew away Dali, Gallo and the B&W 700 series, most of which were more expensive. | |
| Paradigm Studio 10 or ERA D4/D5 The Studio tens are in my office. I loved them in the show room running off of a decent NAD amp and love them in my office running off of a flea-watt tubed amp. They are very very nice and I really like the build quality. | |

Great CD player.I use the Cobra (green color) ICs from Chord to run it to my Unico Secondo hybrid int. amp with great results.I spent less than $100 on the IC. I wasn't able to hear any difference with supposedly high end demos, but ... | |
| need CDP upgrade advice "Good," not "goof.". A typo. | |
| nad c565bee your take on sound quality Excellent. Very impressed with the new line of NAD CD players. | |
| Would You Like to Make Your CD's Sound Better Great idea. And all my CDs will be clothesline fresh. | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Paradigm Signature S4 Bryson would be great. I use a smaller Paradigm studio speaker for my office and run it off a 12 watt tubed amp without issues. Very nice sound and control. Tubes would be ok imho. | |
| Has anyone tried new Auvio cables from Radio Shack Btw, the perception problem they face isn't that all their products are lousy; rather, they will proudly sell lousy stuff. Some of odds and ends are ok. I am thinking of banana jacks, and the like. They cater to a niche that doesn't a Bel Canto fr... |
