Halcyonics under my tt. Wow
Elberoth2, congratulations! I assume you are in the US and are getting it from Laufer. What are you going to put the Silencer on? And what are you planning to put on the Silencer? I would be hard put to make a recommendation for which component to... 
Does the Step 4 final rinse for Walker Prelude help?
Hdm, of course I am talking about getting more off the record, which Step Four certainly does. I have asked Lloyd and even directed him to the thread. I agree about Grooveglide. I used it a couple of times and sought to clean it off.As I said, I a... 
Does the Step 4 final rinse for Walker Prelude help?
Guys, it is hardly true that a rinse with ultra-pure water leaves nothing behind. There is the friction of vinyl and the static electric charge on the record. I can remember when Lloyd recommended GrooveGlide and certainly the Talisman removing st... 
Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp?
I generally agree with what "tube-like" means, and it is not a favorable idea. I once had Western Electric 91B amps. They were rolled off beginning at 13k and had little bass below 50 Hz. This is not to say that I have never heard a tube amp that ... 
Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp?
Fiddler, I don't exactly see a love fest, but given the way the H-Cat fell into name calling, I do think both of us went to some excess given the impersonality of the internet. I have noticed that some of your other posts are quite constructive an... 
Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp?
Asa and I had a very good conversation by telephone. We talked about how discussions on the internet escalate beyond what either party intended. We both apologized and all is well.Asa, I think that some have learned how to better use transistors a...

Hifiharv, actually throughout save when the music is loud, but on side 1 in the second cut and the subway is obvious in the introduction of the Thad Mitchell Quartet. 
Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp?
Gregm, I have owned the Levinson, Cello Suite and "palette," and Accuphase 280 line stages, but of course, long ago. The Cello stands out as exceptional among them. I had gone quite crazy and bought the full Cello system, including the amps and eq...

Saxo and Mrtennis, I guess I have to endure a lawyer's closing. I regret leaving his initial, non-communicative post from just passing into oblivion. 
Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp?
Asa, you continue to ignore the malice in your initial post and those following and frankly I regret having ever asked what you meant in your post, as it obviously was irrelevant. Saxo, I still would recommend that you give the H-Cat a listen if y... 
Does the Step 4 final rinse for Walker Prelude help?
Rushton, do you use one of the new tourmaline hairdryers? I don't but I wonder if the other ingredients in Step Four are anti-static in purpose. 
Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp?
Asa, please tell us what "Answer ten years ago: No. Answer five years ago: No. Answer today: No." means. I had no idea. I now see that you are dredging up another thread in which the discussion has gotten much more constructive. Why would you find... 
Does the Step 4 final rinse for Walker Prelude help?
Dougdeacon, I directly asked Lloyd whether it was his Ultra-pure as I had already double rinsed with that. He said that it was based on Ultra-pure but had added ingredients. Whatever, they are, the add greatly to the final product. I also asked if... 
Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp?
Asa, me thinks you protest to much. It is you who posted a singularly non-communicative post and followed that with deliberately misspelling my moniker to Tbag and the hobgoblin comment. When you learn to communicate more clearly and less offensiv... 
Does coloring the edges of CD's help the sonics?
Tom, send it by USPS as I am going to be out-of-town for a week.
