| Best Floorstander Under 10K? Dodgealum, I'm a big fan of the Merlin VSM speakers in the price range you mention. While I'm not an owner, two members of our local audio group have these speakers and I'm tremendously impressed every time I listen to these speakers in their syst... | |
| How Good is Walker Extreme SST Contact Enhancer Jes45, this is good robust conversation, presented fairly and courteously. Thank you.

| How Good is Walker Extreme SST Contact Enhancer Sirspeedy, I've posted numerous times here about SST because I have the same "over the top" reaction to it as these "over the top" rave reviews of which you're skeptical. In my system, Walker Audio Extreme SST makes a clearly and significantly pos... | |

| How Good is Walker Extreme SST Contact Enhancer Fair comments, Tvad. Thank you. And I apologize because in re-reading the thread I do see that you covered this earlier. . | |
| How Good is Walker Extreme SST Contact Enhancer None taken, Tvad. We're all just sharing our experiences here and learning from each other, and our experiences certainly can differ. But help me, please: (1) are you saying that you've compared SST and Caig Pro Gold and don't find SST superior? o... | |
| How Good is Walker Extreme SST Contact Enhancer Suttlaw, I've used Kontak in the past, and liked it, but it doesn't come close to delivering what the Walker Audio SST provides in terms of improved system resolution and clarity. And I'd been using Caig Gold just before I tried the original SST: ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tonight..."Church Choral Music", Stockholm Motet Choir, BIS LP 14 - a very early BIS recording of an amateur choir in Stockholm. The recording is the typical great engineering job on gets from von Bahr, but the choir is certainly lacking in abilit... | |

| How Good is Walker Extreme SST Contact Enhancer I've used both regular SST and then Extreme SST. Both make a substantial improvement in clarity and resolution, and both are far superior to any other contact enhancer I've every tried.

| Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ? Stew, imo you're not going to get it quieter by replacing the stock tubes. This is particularly true of the 12AX7s, and most particularly true of the first gain stage. Jim White has gotten the "low noise" issue pretty well nailed with his selected... |
