| What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? @mashif . LaBelle -Nightbirds on vinyl was released by Vinyl Me Please earlier this year. It sounds great. Can get it through discogs. Happy listening. | |
| Cartridge upgrade I have had both the Kisecki blue and purple heart. There is no doubt that the Purple blows the blue out of the water. Hard to find a better sounding cartridge at that price. To get the most out of it though, proper cartridge set up is key. | |
| Okki Nokki or kirmuss audio / isonic ultrasonic rcm? I agree with @whart that you need a manual and ultrasonic clean to get the cleanest record. The Kirmus is a modified Isonic machine. For what it's worth, Isonic has been producing ultrasonic cleaners for multiple applications for some time. I be... | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? The problem started after changing your IC's and speaker cables. Changing something else won't fix the situation. A fuse change can change the overall sound but won't fix the problem. As I see it, you have several options. The first would be t... | |
| EVS Music Purifiers - Amazed by how much improvement they make! Anyone else try them? Thanks @ricevs | |
| EVS Music Purifiers - Amazed by how much improvement they make! Anyone else try them? a question for @ricevs. You mentioned that certain speaker cables may not see a benefit with the EVS music purifiers. I have Nordost Valhalla 2 speaker cables. Would you expect improvement with these cables? Thanks. | |
| PURON RESOLVE creates new options for better sound @questforhifi I have several of the Puron conditioners and 3 of the swiss digital fuse boxes. They have had a a very positive impact on my system. I'm sure you realize there isn't an objective measuring system for these type of products, so I'm ... | |
| Power cable Advice... @alarcono I have done both and each made a significant contribution. I started with the PS 10 and each addition of the power cables made improvements | |
| Power cable Advice... Nordost states in it's packaging that the "Power Cord is the most critical cable in your loom". I was running Ansuz cords which was my first upgrade over stock cables. Big difference. Upgraded to Shunyata sigma v2's. A huge difference. I gift... | |
| Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear I owned Mac gear for years and really enjoyed it. An old solid state amp with fixed power cord was my first real amp upgrade. Don't recall the model, bought used. Made a believer out of me. Bought the C2600 preamp and loved it. The amp died and ... | |
| Smaller plug-in AC Purifiers -- Shunyata, iFi, Puron...something else? What do you like? @wokeuptobose Yes, it was from Mark | |
| Smaller plug-in AC Purifiers -- Shunyata, iFi, Puron...something else? What do you like? I have 2 Purons and have just purchased 2 more. They clearly make a difference. The nice aspect is that this isn't one or the other. The Purons compliment power conditioners and work well as a stand alone. My initial two Purons went into the d... | |

| How long does it take your tube amp to warm up? My VAC gear sounds decent after 5 minutes, but incrementally improves over the next 2 hours. I warm everything up at once and play LP's that I don't totally engage me or are a new purchase at lower levels for several sides. The other question is... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please I am a big fan of the Sluggos. It makes most sense to me to have a Swiss Digital Fuse box behind them though. While the odds of disaster are low, if it can happen, it will eventually. Also, they can be reset, so it's the last fuse I will ever h... |
