Power Cord for Ayre CX-7e ????
"Ayre is very clean stuff, therefor I wouldn't recommend you any line conditioner, they all make the sound more dirty and restricted. Only a good power cord directly plugged into the wall will do the job."Hi Mu6,While it is true that some line con... 
I've found the cd player for analog lovers
"I haven't heard the APL version but I doubt it's involved in this particular problem. Amp and/or preamp are more likely candidates."Dougdeacon,I agree with you that the APL unit is not involved with this problem. I have the APL Denon 3910 with th... 
What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K?
Guido, If the changes made in the APL forum content reflect the emerging new reality at APL, why use the word 'spin' and 'artful redirection', which are pregnant with negative connotations. Those are not the phrases that come to my mind with a str...

"Brent, I am in fact delighted you joined APL and that you are heading the company's transformation into a successful OEM. I did witness a marked reduction in public customer gripes on the APL forum over the last few months. and am confident you w... 
Where to buy MDF board?
Rspark, Currently, my equipment is on three Sanus Euro racks. Filling the metal rack posts with sand and then screwing them together is a pain in the neck, but doable. That reduces the resonance problem in the posts. HOWEVER, the MDF shelves in th...

Rspark, You couldn't find a website for Rainwater Audio because there is isn't one. But here's the phone number: 843-665-6113. 
Where to buy MDF board?
Rspark, Lowe's carries MDF. Or you can get a Sanus Euro rack (MDF). However, in your price range you can get a much higher quality rack. I'm thinking of getting a Critical Mass rack from Rainwater Audio. It was used in some high-end rooms at T.H.E... 
Power Cord for Ayre CX-7e ????
Witchdoc, My comments in the previous post above were the result of auditioning the power cords with and without the Sound Application RLS conditioner in both my primary and secondary systems. The RLS made a significant positive difference in addi...

How does the Kubala-Sosna Emotion compare sonically to the VD Revelation or the Stereovox? Has anyone made these comparisons? 
JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ?
Trelja,I had used the EL34s on my JA30s and loved their delicacy so much so that I kept the JA30s as a back up when I bought the JA80s. For more power and bass, I went with the 6550A on the JA80. However, my Wilson WHOW subwoofer is driven by a se... 
Which would you choose to isolate your turntable?
Willster, The $1,800 MinusK model (BM-6) you mentioned is their benchmarck. It's vertical and horizontal frequencies are in the neighborhood of the Vibraplane's. Since Brent Rainwater reported that Critical Mass System (CMS) is far superior to the... 
Which would you choose to isolate your turntable?
Hi Willster, I have the same 3 units on my short list. MinusK and Vibraplane were alone on my short list for possible upgrades to my system, with MinusK having a slight edge based on technical information. I was getting ready to order a MinusK uni... 
CD Lifetime?
