| Mark Levinson 390s or Naim CDX2 ? I'm considering a 390s also, now that the used price has dropped under $4K.. I understand it has basically the same DAC inside as the ML 360s standalone DAC, which is supposed to be excellent. It also has special Levinson-designed HDCD filters. | |
| Adapting Oversized Spades W/o Reterminating If what you're saying is the "barriers" are too close together for the large spades to fit between them (and under the bolt head) then here's how I've solved it:Remove one of the terminal bolts. It might have locking threads that keep it from comi... | |
| The Debate's Not Over Boa -- I think of Costello as a "mannerist" (not a plagerist). It means an artist who creates work "in the manner of __________" you fill in the blank with another artist's name.Your're right when you say all are inluenced. Dylan and the Beatles a... | |
| The Debate's Not Over Agree with all but the last. Costello is a first-rate poseur (as is his wife) but not an original in any sense. He gets points for copying from the best. | |
| Transparent Speaker cable and interconnects OK, then I'd stick with the Transparent if I were you. ESPECIALLY until you've heard them with the JM speakers -- it should be a great combo. The only others you might like just a little better (meaning they might be a little more neutral) would b... | |

| SME lV arm upgrades? For phono cables used, search either "phono cable" or "tonearm cable" here on Agon. I also use a Purist Venustas like Jfrech, and think it's most amazing! | |
| Best and largest inventory used dealer I was just referring to the WTB ad situation here v. AA. There are 12 on AA right now, and you can respond to them for FREE, if you have that item to sell. | |
| Hum when cablevision is plugged in to tv Get a cable isolator from Audio Advisor ($99) or make your own for about $4. | |
| Shelves & Stand for heavy SS Amps. The Billy Bags 2020 (20" x 20") will hold anything, comes with great cones, and is (or used to be) available on Audio Advisor at a discount. | |
| Smoke and DVD How in hell do you magnetize aluminum! Sheesh. | |
| Making Your Own 2D Diffusors Peter, just make sure you paint them with an "airless" spray gun. That way you won't clog up the pores of the foam (which would reduce its absorbtive qualities.) | |
| Best and largest inventory used dealer "Wanted to Buy" ads are a good way, but not on Agon anymore. Try the Asylum. | |
