Best commercial press for flattening warped LP's
I have heard that two panes of glass sandwhiching the record will work if used in direct sunlight during the summer months.They said (heat depending of course) it will take 15-60 seconds.They also said give the record ample time to cool before rem... 
Power Conditioner for Amps.
You could look at a Chang Lightspeed Conditioner.They are not supposed to be current limiting. 
Stands for Reference 3A MM deCapo-i
Hello Jayboard,I am not saying that I am right, this is just what I read. Also interesting to note that Tash at Divergent Technologies also recommends this. I have never heard a 3a speaker but I am considering one as an alternitive to some Martin ...

Paradigm Studio 40 v.2 vs. v.3: sonic difference?
Hello,I would look at another mini monitor and skip Paradigm all together. In my experience they are more for home theatre. Other's will disagree, but I am left wanting. I know my CD player is not the best (Rega Planet 2000) but every system I hav... 
Paradigm Studio 40 v.2 vs. v.3: sonic difference?
I have the Studio 40 v.2 and my father in-law has the Studio 100 v.3.For what it is worth, his have smoother mids (which are less recessed) and the top end is not as bright. I find the v.2 to have a mid band which is slightly held back, and the to...

Thanks Phil for the advice.You have given me some before and I appriciate it. Currently my amp is a Blue Circle CS. I just got it and it is breaking in. I am loving it.It has preouts. So over the next few years I am going to work towards a poweram... 
Reference 3a vrs Focus Audio
Thank Panderso,I knew these speakers would be very close. Having not heard both side by side (or 3A'a at all), I imagine that it is all in trade offs.I do like the look of the 688's but I do like the cost on the 3A. I image that both speakers woul... 
What kind of paint works best on MDF board?
I should also add, you could try calling up some Piano restoration services and explain to them what you are doing.If they know you are not trying to steal their secerts to start a competing service and just want to make some beatiful speakers; th... 
What kind of paint works best on MDF board?
I agree with what Sdcampbell says, but please let me add on.You will need to apply several coats of primer and sand lightly between each coat starting (I would say 5 - but you might need more). Between every coat you will want to sand with 300 and... 
$1100 to spend used -integrated or separates?
I will say I love my Blue Circle CS intgrated.New price of $1150 US.It beats my old Linn pretek preamp/Bryston 3BOut of the others you mention I only have experience with the MF 3.2. Let me say that I think the 3.2 is a good amp (but perhaps a lit...

Surround speakers for Martin Logan CLS
Yada, Thats not fair :( I would love to get my hands on just one pair of CLSIIz's.Oh well, I am still young, I am shooting for some used Logan's for my system such as some Aerius or SL3, or even Aeon's if I can find a good price. I hate this being...
