| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Dan_ed,So far, I'm not seeing any gunk on my brushes, however I am seeing more "dry fuzz" after a cleaning session on the velvet portion of the vacuum arm tube( VPI 16.5). More stuff is getting sucked out of the vinyl. This, the lower amount of du... | |
| Major Questions Concerning Tube Amps..?? Most of what Gthirteen says is right on the money.However, I think you'd be fine with leaving center channel ss and just going tubes for front l+r. Most center channel sound is spoken dialogue, vs. music and sound effects out of the mains. I've re... | |

| Merlin Owner's... I agree with 1markr, the colors are tough to photograph accurately. My Moss Green is beautiful, but it looks different than in most of the photos. In real life, it can look like a dark, British racing green in bright light, and almost black when i... | |
| Berning ZH270 Synergy Budrew, Prior to getting my Merlins, I used the Berning with Quad ESL63USA monitors. I've never heard that speaker sound better than with the Berning. IMHO, the Berning isn't made to mate with anything in particular, it's just that if you bother t... | |
