| Cryogenic Tempering PS Audio Co-Founder and Superphon and Supermods founder Stan Warren is a big believer in freezing speaker cables and interconnects. He also freezes a lot of the circuits he modifies currently. Stan uses dry ice. He has found it is cold enough (min... | |
| What type of stands for B W 805 Check out Sound Anchor Stands. Height depends on your sitting position (height). Basically in line with your head. Sometimes the room matters somewhat also. Can't help with that. | |
| TEACH ME ABOUT BI-WIRE The best thing is for you to try it yourself. To keep the cost down while you are experimenting, buy (or borrow) some plain ordinary 12 or 16 AWG bare speaker wire like the Monster cable stuff they sell at Radio Shack. Cut it in four pieces. Liste... | |
| Best efficient Line Conditioner UNDER 1K I have a Vansevers Reference 83 which is basically the same as the Reference 85; just a different compliment of digital and analog plugs. I am very pleased with it. | |
| Good Stuff Cheap MAS (Music And Sound) Silver Black amd MAS Silver Grey Interconnects. These are made by Stu Wein in Pennsylvania. He made the high end digital cable that use to come with the original Wadia DAC. His cables were also recommended in Stereophile back... | |

| Vocalists/Musicians Wasting Their Talent Charlotte Church is making big bucks with a voice that sounds like an adult. To bad that an adult that actually sings like her would go nowhere as a classical "artist". I hope she is saving some of that money or can morph into a pop singer. | |
| What s your latest buy? Happy with it? I also just got a Stan Warren modified DVD player. Well worth the very small cost. | |
| My overlooked cheap tweak I will add on this one last time. I just read the computer industry uses industrial isopropyl alcohol to clean oils from computer circuit boards and semi-conductor equipment. Oils are a much bigger problem for computers than an amplifier, their fa... | |
| My overlooked cheap tweak I think I just said Isopropyl alcohol is a solvent. Some people think its not. Dont take my word for it, go to: Http://solvdb.ncms.org/solv01.htm (National Center for Manufacturing Sciences) and see for yourself. Also see Romic Environmental Techn... | |
| What s your latest buy? Happy with it? Picked up one of those Blue Circle BC-86 Noise Hound Power Pillows that are auctioned here on AudiogoN. Got it used/mint from an individual for $225. This thing really works. Quite an amazing product. | |
| My overlooked cheap tweak I do agree with Bob though that denatured alcohol is better,especially for things like VCR and Tape deck heads. | |
| My overlooked cheap tweak Isopropyl alcohol does not contain lanolin. "Rubbing Alcohol" used by doctors and hospitals has lanolin. It is not the same thing. I have a bottle of Isopropyl in front of me. It has only two ingredients 75% alcohol, 25% distilled water. Full stre... | |
| Power Strip vs. Line Conditioner There are also products like the Blue Circle BC-86 Noise Hound Power Pillow that has not plugs itself; and just plugs into a open outlet on your wall or power strip; and cleans the power for the whole circuit. I do not know how it works, but I hav... | |
| Power Strip vs. Line Conditioner A "power strip" is a glorified extension cord and in most cases junk IMHO. A very good conditioner will help considerably if your power is dirty, which is most of us. I use a Reference grade Vansevers conditioner. I has a plug-in made for amps, wh... |
