| How to clean vinyl records I hardly use my record cleaning machine. Really dirty ones get pristine clean with steaming. Other than that...just use a Hunt brush before playing to get rid of any dust. | |
| Best Way to Spend ~ $2000 for System Improvement You don't need to spend that kind of money to improve your sound. I agree with wall outlets (I like Maestro)....or power cords. Big improvements for little money. | |
| Help with Cable selection Kimber, Cardas, Wireworld, etc... I've had most. Clear Cable really opened up my system. | |
| Who in the North New Jersey area. to set up and dial in turntable? I've been to all the high fi guys around....AudioConnection is the very best by far. Certainly worth the phone call (at least) to explore | |
| stereo for the joy of it - can records be cleaned? I have a "audiophile approved" record cleaner I rarely use. I find the most effective clean is to steam clean the record. Get a hand held steamer for about 15 dollars or so, some distilled water, and steam away all the garbage. Wipe the record dow... | |
| Why are most speakers designed for robots? boy is AKG correct!! I have had my Vandersteens in place for about 5 years, and oh so casually, I got a shout out from John at Audioconnection in NJ who asked me for measurements from the speakers/room. He suggested moving my sear forward 10 in... | |
| Should I get a second sub or a higher quality single sub? ..the more subs the better and...having the best sub made isn't nearly as good as 2 less capable, less expensive subs | |
| Morrow Audio or Transparent ? ..just have a talk with Paul at Clear Cable. You won't be sorry, it costs nothing. | |
| $16K new/used speaker question? I’m surprised you haven’t considered top level Vandersteens. I you're anywhere near, or can get to AudioConnection in Verona, NJ, you will find what you're looking for. Speak to John Ruton (even over the phone) for lots of ideas. | |
| Help with Cable selection Very much agree with mlpai. ..so much so, that I just got 2 pair of double shotguns that I'll biwire with my Vandersteens. ...a wonderful shopping experience. Highly recommended | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Here is plug for Clear Day cables. ...such a nice guy to deal with...such wonderful (and I mean wonderful) speaker cables. If you are looking to open up your system...clean clear mids, silky highs ....get a review pair of Clear Day cables. It w... | |
| Cable length dilemma! I suggst finding a different spot for the speakers. Anything large placed between them will be greatly detrimental to the sound. If its a real fire place with a flu...all your lows will go up that flu. Bad placement. | |
| Best Of Breed or Matching Components? I use the same manufacturer for all my electronics...amp/preamp/CD player. They all work well together because they were designed that way. | |
| Etna or Atlas for Superscout? Both great choices....non better in my opinion. To THESE ears, the Atlas is perfect in everything...the Etna a weeee bit less. But a bit more musical for me. Your arm and table are perfect for either. Remember Heifitz always played one note wr... | |
| VPI acrylic vs. aluminum Slaw....correct....and in listening to the Classic, the acrylic seems slow and laboring. In light of that statement, some say the Classic is bright..but I find the Classic portraying much more music, dynamics, color, and whatever we audiophiles v... |
