| A Very Long Primer on Record Cleaning Fluids Any thoughts on using enzymes in the mix to remove mold/mildew that (supposedly) alcohol and surfactants are not too good at? (Such as Buggtussel's Vinyl-zyme, Audio Intelligent, or Phoenix cleaners)Also, how about the medical grade detergents - s... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-10 vs. DQ-20 I have owned both, and unless you want to do extensive modification to the DQ10's, the DQ20 is much better at everything. The DQ20i (which is biamp-able) is even better than the DQ20 - until recently I had a pair of each. The difference is subtle,... | |
| 6 Moons Reviews Zu Cable Definition Speaker Quote from the article - "As Sean's visit drew to a close, I asked him to take my Druids and the Method sub back to Ogden and bill me for the balance."Now, at the insider "accomodation" pricing, how much do you think that "balance" was? Whatever i... | |
| 6 Moons Reviews Zu Cable Definition Speaker What Dawgbyte says is true - Srajan obviously enjoys these speakers. And I don't doubt his good intentions.But on a general level (not necessarily pertaining in this instance) do keep in mind that when a reviewer says they "bought" the equipment -... | |
| 6 Moons Reviews Zu Cable Definition Speaker But back to the actual Zu's themselves - it'll be interesting to hear them. I'm a fan of full range driver based speakers, I'm just curious as to what the Definition actually does better than a pair of Druids and 2 subs don't do at a lower price p... | |
| 6 Moons Reviews Zu Cable Definition Speaker I'm obviously being curmudgeonly today, so one more thing, that Dawgbyte brought up - Everytime someone writes, "These (whatever) sound just like live music..." I want to groan. It's the most overworked, meaningless cliche in all of High End. As D... | |
| 6 Moons Reviews Zu Cable Definition Speaker Yeah, yeah, yeah....IMO 6Moons is turning into just another Tout, whether intentionally or not. There's always something coming down the pike that's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I auditioned the Gallo's after reading the "glowing" review... | |
| Nos Shure vn45he stylus distortion It appears that the v15 type IV is one to avoid NOS or used.Here is a quote from an experienced Ebay buyer/seller of NOS cartridges that I saved for reference:"My experience is:Grados - no problemsAudio Technica - no problems with originals, I've ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR2 vs Polk Audio LSi15 If you like the sound of the speakers you have, why not just spend the money on a nice used REL sub? The LSi9's with a top quality sub would certainly be a better set up than just the LSi15's alone. As far as I know, the 15's are just a pair of 9'... | |
| Am I missing something? Another thing to do, especially with smaller speakers. If you like the sound of one pair, you'll love the sound of two. Try adding a 2nd pair upside down on top of the first pair. Creates a quasi-D'Appolito configuration without much phase cancell... | |
| Am I missing something? Happy with what you've already got? Why... that's un-American! I suppose the emperor's not got any clothes, either? Maybe what you need is the all new Class A VonGallo 397-Moons Audio Hype Machine (Reference Version). It performs auto-Fremerizatio... | |
| Ready to try vinyl Direct Drive Website. This is a very nice website with lots of fun info and a DD Museum:http://de.geocities.com/bc1a69/index_eng.html | |
| Ready to try vinyl re: Direct vs. Belt -- I have had more than 20 different turntables of all sorts over the last 7 years - I was "collecting" them for a while - until I got married! And here is why I agree with Johnnantais (for the most part): What exactly does a ... | |
| Vandersteen's Low Spousal Acceptance Factor Hi - I've written this before, but you can spend less, have possibly much higher WAF (depending on preferences), and have extremely similar but even better sonics (IMHO) with Dahlquist DQ-20's. Under $500 used for a beautiful pair and still one of... | |
| Popping out dents in dust- dome. Can metal dome.. If all else fails, and your're willing to take the risk of a small discoloration in lieu of the large dent. I have not done this on a dust cap, but I have used this technique with 100% success in other applications. There's no reason it shouldn't ... |
