Anyone heard Final Speakers?
If the Final's are small E-stat's with a woofer mounted behind the panels in a slanted tube, the design leaves a LOT to be desired theoretically. Sean> 
Does It Make Sense to Purchase Dunlavy Speakers
From what i was able to find out, the individual drivers for each Dunlavy speaker system are matched to within a .25 dB tolerance. That is a LOT tighter than the 1 dB that was previously posted. As such, i have to commend ( a little too late ) Dun... 
increase transparency for philips sacd 1000
Brainwater: It was not my intention to take the route that i ended up travelling. While i would have preferred to sit back and enjoy the day and not been forced to play the part of "hard-nosed bastard", i received more than a few emails inquiring ... 
increase transparency for philips sacd 1000
Infinity: I have stated up front that i did not consider this to be a reference grade player as i experienced it out of the box. To refresh your memory, I had stated that the player had STRONG bottom end output when initially fired up. I also stat... 
Review: BIC Realta Venturi Speaker
Try contacting Dave Ellis regarding modifications to the BIC's. Dave has worked with these in the past and found them to respond very well to tweaking. I'm not saying that they'll replace your Montana's, but he can probably get them a lot closer t...

I guess it took a woman like Judit to figure out what the "real deal" really was : ) Sean> 
increase transparency for philips sacd 1000
Infinity Audio: I would suggest mental help for your split personality disorder. First of all, your original post complains about this unit yet you did not even read the manual, have it hooked up in a manner that offers less than optimum performan... 
Auric Iluminator CDP Compatiblility
Auric works best if the discs are damaged and / or your player is bright sounding. If you don't have either of those problems, i wouldn't recommend using it. I have only used it on discs that were damaged or sound HORRIBLY bright / glaring soundin...

Twl: What is the compliance and weight of the Shelter 501 ? Sean> 
250 watts: why so much power?
Excellent point Bob. I remember watching a fast responding wattmeter show me peaking well in excess of 900 watts on more than a few occasions. The funny thing is, i don't think that anybody here would have called the sound being produced as being ... 
"must have" accessories for TT and LP?
Ohlala: Cylinderking probably submitted his post while yours was being approved. Kind of "crossed in the mail" type of situation. Sean> 
Reaction to : Bedini-Ultra Clarifier II
My experience is that markers increase reading errors and do nothing beneficial for sonics. Like any other tweak, use them at your own risk. Sean> 
Overrated & Underrated
Tweakgeek is obviously a fan of the "South Park" cartoon series on Comedy Central. Know how i can tell ? In one sentence, he is able to do nothing less attack a whole country i.e. "blame Canada" : ) Sean> "Canada’s contributions to popular music"  
Reaction to : Bedini-Ultra Clarifier II
Dennis: I agree with your findings 100%. The instructions with the hand-held Bedini Clarifier state that you should allow the CD to spin for about 10 - 15 seconds with that model. Doing so does nothing in my opinion. Since the desk-top "Ultra Clar... 
Men & Women & Bass
Actually Tim, the sonic preferences that i have "prove" my heterosexuality according to the "survey" results. Not that they were ever in question, mind you : ) From what i read there, it seems as if homosexual males and females have similar prefer...
