LAST Record Preservative. Do you believe?
It just sounds a little "fishy" as was coined earlier. If someone chooses to us this stuff and believes in it, great! I don't, that's all. I do not have empirical study with (same) records treated and not treated with this stuff so I can't honestl... 
New Beatles Box Sets
Zaikesman, Not to belabor a point but what I find most interesting about the original (pressing) sound is… well, that that is the way the band intended it to be. So to my liking, I find it more emotional and up front, a little rawer, a little more... 
LAST Record Preservative. Do you believe?
Not a single record I own will get LAST put on it, short of a few used records I purchased with this stuff already applied. With record detail information as micro fine as it is in a groove why would you want to slather over it with a coating of a... 
New Beatles Box Sets
I'll take the UK Parlophone CD's for my money. If you can't have the Parlophone, Odeon, or lastly the Mofi OMR vinyl IMHO these are the next best. I have compared them to each of these vinyls and they are not half bad. Why would you want the Capit... 
anyone heard the 45 rpm repressings of Bill Evans
Superb reissues by Analogue Productions, you name the title... they are all wonderful. Tagyerit the only bad selection is the one you didn’t get in this Fantasy 45rpm catalog IMHO. Buy the titles you love, then try to buy the rest. I signed up wit...

Tube pre- or amp: does it matter?
Maybe these comments arrive a bit late but... Like with any system when it comes to synergy of components I would tread cautiously in matching speakers and power amps, yet to my mind that may well evoke the most rewarding musical result in adding ...

Isolation platform under US 500 for CDP
The Neuance platform is a bargain and an excellent device. I employ one under my Linn Sondek Lp12 TT and also have tried it under my CDP and will soon place one there permanently. Ken Lyon of Neuance is a great guy to deal with as well and as Tvad...

Slipknot1 Congrad's on the new TT, I'm sure at this point your happy just to stay at home and spin vinyl at the drop of a hat! Do a lot of old acquaintances (i.e. well played records) sound like strange new friends? Happy Listening! Tonight on the...

"Best" RCA IC's USED OR NEW LESS THAN $225
Two words: Kimber Hero. Happy Listening! 
Ok....Audiogoners: need some tube amp ideas
Check out a real OTL design... Atma-Sphere. You may be surprised with the dynamics and lower end resolution comparatively. I love the sound from mine. The one caveat is you will need to be focused on a higher efficiency speaker (90db or + would be...
