| Speaker Polish? REVISITED Dave, have you tried tongue oil. I use it on my wood projects and have been pleased with the results. It tends to look much more natural than other finishes. I used it to bring back some life to my cherry finish speakers. I got a great deal on the... | |
| Review: Pass Labs X-250 Amplifier I appreciate this review. I recently sold my Aragon 8008st. Several friends have suggested tube amps, but I am still disenchanted with them. The possibility of a single-ended triode has also arisen.I think I am too firmly entrenched in the SS camp... | |
| TransParent Cables vs. Others Transparent makes great cable, but so do several other companies. I have used Cardas and liked it a lot. Most recently though I have been using Purist cables. I have done reviews of several of their best cables if you are interested. The bottom li... | |
| Review: Purist Dominus Interconnect Alex, I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you talking about the "break-in" period?I ran signal through the Dominus non stop for about a week, using the Purist burn-in disc and different CDs. This is one of the things for which CDs are actually g... | |
| what is the meaning of this??? I would have a hard time arguing with Marty. Once again he has simplified things to their essence. Actually the term does have a meaning. It does not mean whatever people want it to mean. When a writer is working on a project the writer begins (no... | |
| vacuum, worth the expence/hassle? I had a Sapphire and after many years of use I sent it back to Sota to see about upgrades. The deal they offered me on an upgrade was so good I didn't pass it up. I traded my Sapphire for a Star Sapphire and have not regretted it for a minute. Eve... | |
| Have you had buyers/sellers back out of a deal? I have had someone back out of a deal after he had my money. He decided he did not want to sell the phono section he listed. He sent me back an extra hundred dollars which did nothing to assuage my disappointment. I didn't want the money, I wanted... | |
| PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250 Kevziek, WOW what a major suck-up! I think Fiddler was right about you all along.I have been asking some of the same questions since reading Stereophile, but not in such an obnoxious manner. It's nice to see a well reasoned response from the man w... | |
| Classical music for Rockers Wow, I'm surprised to get so many responses. Some of the music mentioned does ring a bell. I'm going to have to check into these suggestions. The Wagner titles mentioned above are familiar and are things I should probably be familiar with. When I ... | |
| Which hi-end Sony SACD player to buy? The SCD-1 is a great player! How much do you want to spend though? You can get the SCD 777es for about 1G. I have this one and have been very happy with it, but it's not as good as the SCD-1 | |
| Remake of "Stairway to Heaven" Blasphemy Anyone singing that would be an improvement. What an over-rated bunch of #@%&*! | |
| long i/c run...looking for high end cable I don't know if you have already settled this issue but I asked a similar question a few months ago. You can check my threads if you want to read up on all of it, but I found the Purist ICs to be fantastic for long runs without significant signal ... | |
| Should I upgrade my pre-amp? You might also check out the Counterpoint SA 5.1. You should be able to find this in the range you are looking and the former owner and designer (Michael Elliot) is still around to work on them if you would want or need this in the future. I also ... | |
| interconnect vs speaker cable The biggest priority when shopping should be to maximize the quality of the pieces closest to the source. Great speaker cable will not be able to add what your interconnect did not deliver. That is why your source equipment is always more importan... | |
| Jethro Tull recent Remasters vs Mobile Fidelity? I have seen "This Was, Benefit, and Stand Up" remastered on vinyl, but I'm not sure about the availability anymore. "Aqualung might have been available in that group, but not being a fan of that LP I did not pay any attention. I have most of the o... |
