Well Albert, perhaps I could have some of my shark oil placed in a test tube and then centrifuged to get rid of suspended solids. Perhaps... 
Can any one tell me if a progressive scan dvd play
If one has separate audio and HT, one will long for the Audio system's musical performance, unless one has a *lot* of money. No need to make one's life miserable...As for the original question, Cambridge decided not to put the Progressive Scan fea... 
Trouble Auditioning Hi-fi Components?
I hate those Voodoo salons--truly. I suggest you develop good relations with four or five of us and exchange ideas. Also work on finding good dealers you can trust over the phone. Bill Parish of GTT Audio and Steve Monte of Quest for Sound are two... 
Can any one tell me if a progressive scan dvd play
Stehno & Rick: 1) Stehno is right on the money--I decided not to go for surround and sold my brand new Mirage MBS Bipolars. Matching my Swans's ribbon tweeter would be a feat, too. Incredible dynamics and soundstage!2) Rick, I have your same D...

Know what else is shark liver oil? Preparation H. And BTW, I didn't get the oil for that particular use...So Albert, do you think it's better than Pro Gold? I mean, that stuff gets pretty gunky when it dries...The one I have is clear yellow. I tru...

OK, let's get serious: has anyone used shark liver oil? Be honest about your answer, for I have a rather decent amount of the real thing back at my parents' (almost half a liter).The real thing is cold pressed with glass panes, dripping under dire...

Technically Correct Subwoofer Settings.....
Use your ears!Get a cut with a good full drum set. I like Phil Collins "Hello! I must be going." Work on it--then leave it and come back the day after with some more music. It's very subtle changes ( as little as 0.1 dB ) that make the magic happe... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
The sound keeps getting better--this device *does* break in, as the instructions state! Smoother, with a big and forward moving soundstage. Totally decent...I am really starting to enjoy digital sound for the first time! Like a Virgin... 
Is a cheap 350 Power conditioner
I don't know--I'm only using it for my DAC. I figure that if I had another line conditioner like the Jon Risch DIY I would plug that to the Power Var and then the CDP to an outlet and the DAC to another. That would keep both devices isolated. I tr... 
Is a cheap 350 Power conditioner
Sean, my Power Var is toroidal--hey, $55--and I am very pleased. I figured when I ordered it that as a worst case scenario it would end up with my PC Tower...I read in Jon Risch's website not to get toroidals--but for $55 I did not have much to lo... 
Is a cheap 350 Power conditioner
Don't think in terms of money--think in terms of noise control strategy. For less than $75 you can get decent used isolation transformers in eBay. I bought a 400W/ 4 amp Power Var for $55 and plugged my DAC to it. Al I did was to open it up and us... 
Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction???
Bob, I already got the Highwire Wrap. It's very good, especially for the price. The improvements are just what Bluenose posted. 
Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks
I have an IKEA rack made with the coffee tables for my tube preamp and DD turntable. Awesome PRT...
