Anyone experienced with Sound Guard?
Wow, thanks guys.Most questions in audio result in all kinds of answers with very little consensus. This appears to be the exception. Believe I'll "dispose of" the fluid and find another use for the pad. 
Name brands that are not so well known are skipped
First to mind is RE Designs. Unfortunately, Dan had little patience for "audiophile mentality" customers and ended production.The LNPA-150 mono bloc amps are a rare product; well engineered and well built while they sold for a fair price. They ran... 
Optimal room for org sonus faber cremonas
Hi Tda:Allow me to offer a few considerations.1. Why not contact Sonus Faber to ask if they have room recommendations?2. Rives and other consultants can provide you basic help without visiting your home so being in Europe should not matter.3. Ther... 
Parasound JC1 or Spectron Musician 3 se
I've owned my 5-driver, 3-way, sealed box, dynamic driver speakers for 18 years. During that time I've owned or auditioned various RAM, Atmasphere, Cary, Joule Electra, VTL, ARC, Classe, Eagle, Boulder, PS Audio, RE Designs, and Threshold amps. Fo... 
The closest approach...really
Ggavetti, what is real is what we perceive to be real. And it does not necessarily relate to huge differences, such as "bombastic bass".My feeling is that you and I could attend the same concert, seated side by side, and have a quality recording m... 
Time Windows grill replacement
I was able to help a friend restore his DCM Time Windows a few years ago by ordering new sox (grill cloth) from the factory. You might try contacting them again. 
The closest approach...really
While apparently Mrtennis does not need any defenders, a couple of thoughts come to mind which apply to all of us in these audio forums.#1, our hearing biological hearing systems may be similar, but not the same. Consider age, gender, health, etc.... 
Technics sp10 mrk2 or SL-1200mrkII
Plinth: a base or platform.As we tilt at semantics here, perhaps Raul should join in.But until he does I have seen pictures of his SP-10 Mk2. His wood platform is larger than "enough to provide real estate for mounting his tonearm". It is large en... 
Technics sp10 mrk2 or SL-1200mrkII
Mike, as you alluded in your last post, this thread seems almost to be going in circles. The SL-1200 series and the SP-10 series are similar in that they came from the same manufacturer and are both DD designs, but there are significant difference... 
What's the best Phono preamp under $1000??
My recommendation would be a Threshold FET 10. They offer silent background, musical presentation, and extended response. Versatility includes gain selection (40/60 dB) and loading (MC) and capacitance (MM) options. A former Threshold employee now... 
Dunlavy SCIV 10
Hi again Rush1:Well, amplifiers! I can only offer my own experience. Since I've owned my Duntech Princess (a sibling to your SC-IV) I owned a variety of amps, tube and SS, rated from 100 to 400 wpc into 8 ohms. My Princesses are 4 ohms so they dra...

Linn Sondek LP-12 service in San Diego area ?
Hi Mabonn:Stereo Design sells Linn and I cannot imagine why they would not be recommended for proper set up, they've been a dealer for decades.However, two other San Diego area options -http://www.blackbirdaudio.com/Dan worked at Stereo Design for... 
Dunlavy SCIV 10
Rush1, as discussed previously, John Dunlavy's designs required careful tuning of the crossovers to match individual drivers. This was important, in part, to maintain time/phase which he considered so critical. The matching was needed within a giv... 
Vinyl vs. top-notch digital
Johnnyb, my intended point was that starting a record collection today could quickly become expensive. Considering the broad alternatives for purchase (and please notice I included on-line sources) at say an average of $20/record overall, a modest...
