| Good Product or Nonsense? More flat earth science! No better than Windex for cleaning CDs! No effect upon sound quality! | |
| Pyramid speakers My apologies. for giving the wrong model number: Metronome 7 - Richard Sequerra's small monitor speaker. Thank you mesch for reminding me! Back in the 80's I had Tangent RS-2's. Another superb small Brit speaker! | |
| Anticables and the Jumper Effect: Or how I learnedto stop worrying and love my system! @dave_b : You sir have a potential career in writing X - rated fiction! | |
| Pyramid speakers And the Day-Sequerra tuner? At the time acknowledged as the world's finest tuner! | |
| Pyramid speakers So nobody remembers the Met 1, Met 2 and the T-1? Gee, I must be getting old! | |
| Pyramid speakers Richard Sequerra also sold an add-on ribbon tweeter called the T-1. The Audio Critic liked it a lot - found it to be superior to the Decca ribbon tweeter. | |

| Celebrating The 50th Anniversary of The Allman Brothers Band @tooblue : I bought the Johnny Jenkins "Ton Ton Macoutes" LP (original pressing) two years ago! Certainly rare! And I saw the Allman Brothers in concert in Vancouver, 1973! | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus The last issue of 90% silver in US coins was in '64. And one wonders why things cost so much nowadays! | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus @terry9 : US coins are not magnetic! They are mostly copper/zinc with a thin silver cladding. Nickels are the same with a nickel cladding. Avoid the '43 steel pennies! | |
| Reasonable but not outragious interconnects I can recommend the Audioquest Silver Extreme IC's. Available from HCM for about $90 (list price was $400). I bought 5 sets! Can't beat the value/price ratio! | |
| The Best Record Ever Made? Doug Sax hits it out of the ballpark with Harry James and band recorded live direct-to-disk! Stunning dynamic range! I have a copy! | |
| Why Are HI-RES Downloads So Expensive? Because Hi-Rez is another marketing scheme to get the gullible and neurotic to spend more money. Capitalism at its most predatory! And I am not kidding. | |
| Benchmark DAC1 vs Musichall Dac 25.3 : A/B test "Your ears aren't refined enough - your system isn't good enough" LOL! | |
| Benchmark DAC1 vs Musichall Dac 25.3 : A/B test Another example showing that all well-engineered DAC's will sound essentially alike! The proliferation of DAC's (especially the expensive ones) is a marketing ploy to get the gullible and neurotic to spend more money. |
