| Attention to detail Are you sure you have the source and amplification for your priority? I am not implying you don't, but one has to really like the what the upstream does when they want to hear all of it. | |
| Whats your opinion? How did you narrow it down, what gear do you have, what do you want, what are your practical constraints? | |
| Cleaning agents? I'll take the Basement Challenge :) http://www.amusicdirect.com/products/detail.asp?sku=AAQUC01And that includes pipe cleaners! Sweet! | |
| Cleaning agents? I don't think I have the system to notice substantial improvement, but I think audioquest cleaner via amusicdirect is a good deal, around $10. AQ's wrench is about the best $8 you can spend, too. | |
| Any small speakers equal in sound to Hales Rev III Maybe this is too obvious, you could watch for a pair of Transcendence Ones. In case you have not heard them, they are very similar to the Rev. Threes. They have a lot of bass. Before they roll off, the bass is about as potent as the Revelation Th... | |
| digital glare - problems/solutions I just purchased Purist HDI interconnects, which are made to go between CDP and preamp and advertised to take the edge off. When the mailman drops them off, I'll try to come to some conclusion about the claim. | |
| A Little Hypocrisy? When I read the starting post, I had the same thought as Rdr4b. People complain about audio prices all the time. As always it is funny to watch some of you look at a forest with a microscope, and call yourselves biologists. When you buy a CD, you ... | |
| Where do I find replacement CD jewel cases? When I worked at used CD store, we used to carry some double-cd cases under the counter for store use. We would sell them to customers who asked for them, though. | |
| Looking for the right interconnect Okay, thanks, Kalan. I haven't heard it either. Someday, maybe. | |
| OT: History / slang terms and what they all mean I love things like this. "Up the creek/river" comes from the Renaissance when major cities were built along a river. During this rich cultural time, citizens did not want to see beggars and mentally ill people, so asylums were established (often c... | |
| What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong? I am a critical person, but right now, I don't think audiogon is doing anything wrong. The only thing that comes to mind was the voting, etc. done in the past.The best thing, I think, is how the classifieds are managed. | |
| Alternatives/improvements to VPI Aries Scout There are used Scouts and many others on audiogon, of course. Thanks for giving everyone a chance to plug the TT they bought (NAS Interspace). | |
| Which upgrade should be my priority? If budget is tight, you could use cloth-covered cinder(sp?) blocks, so you can save for an amp. I used to have a pair of stands that were work well, sand-fillable for ~$80. I think the brand is Premier. They are often sold with Paradigm monitors. ... | |
| What's your favorite speaker finish? Merlin's red lacquer (ruby heart red?), and I generally like rosewood and stained cherry. | |
| Looking for the right interconnect I did not say anything about bright cable. Silver cables correlate with a tonal balance that is different from copper cables. That tonal balance, I don't think, is good for his system. Plus, saying that all those silver cables are bright because o... |
