| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now Not sure what this has to do with audio . . . . but - for about 10 bucks you can get a bottle of PeachyCanyon 2001 Zinfandel (Paso Robles) Bin 113. Goes well with pizza, pasta, pistrami (sp?) and things of like ilk. "Two Thumbs Up" from everyone t... | |

| Ohm Walsh speakers; Anyone have any experience I bought a pair of Ohm Walsh 2's about 20 years ago and used them for 15 years. Great speakers for the money - then. But I haven't kept up with Ohm's latest offerings. | |
| Todays Raido Stations suck I tend to agree with the original post of Rockinroni. Which is why I got my car wired for Sirius satellite radio - - had it for about three months and *love it*! Best thing since sliced bread! Sixty (60) music channels - commercial free - and, in ... | |
| VPI vs Nitty Gritty Both companies make a good product. I've used a Nitty Gritty 2.5 since 1987 - - works great/quite reliable. If I were in the market for a new record cleaning machine, however, I'd go with VPI - -slightly better design (see Lucishow@yahoo.com post)... | |
| How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs? I got in to cooking several years ago - just to see if I could make some interesting dishes. I try to cook up something special at least once each weekend. I find it interesting and quite entertaining.Best thing I stumbled across: *Cooks Illustrat... | |
| Record Cleaner Side Effects? I've used a Nitty Gritty 2.5 since 1986, together with the cleaning fluid supplied by NG. I've had fabulous results. My routine is to clean each record once with the Nitty Gritty (sometimes, in the case of a really gunked up LP, twice). Then, both... | |

| Digital Stylus Force Gauge: Which One?? Sc53 - you can order all Wally Tools directly from Wally M. himself. When I ordered my WallyScale from him (last September) there was no wait, and I got it in a couple of days. Nothing against MusicDirect (I've bought stuff from them several times... | |
| Digital Stylus Force Gauge: Which One?? I got the $150. digital Wally Scale about six months ago, and it's really great. Will measure (with extra, supplied 0.05 gram weight) to nearest 1/20th gram. It's consisent and very accurate. I found it very useful in setting up my Naim Aro/Ortofo... | |
| Purchasing used lps on Audiogon My Audiogon LP purchasing experience has been - - excellent. I've bought quite a few from the likes of Ferrari, Aunt_Tana, Recordron, Kaleidakol and Emil_anghel, and in only case (one LP) was I disappointed - seller offered an immediate refund - -... | |
| Miles Davis Prestige Box Set-How God Is It? Note to Bianchi27 - My understanding is that Mosaic will not be issuing anything further on vinyl - just seedees. The Miles Davis *In a Silent Way*, which came out last year, was the final vinyl issue from Mosaic. This is unfortunate, as I think M... | |
| MC Cart. - Frequency of De-Magnitization/Best Way? Thanks for the info, Jfrech and Twl. A further question on the Cardas LP Jfrech mentioned and which I've seen advertised: how does this LP "work" as far as de-magnetization is concerned? I can understand how it cleans the stylus, but not how it - ... | |
