Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players
711smilin, hey I haven't seen your posts for a while. Where there another shootout, I would hope to be present myself, but would also recommend the Memory Player as well as the new Accustic Arts dac and transport. Too many digital frontends and to...

I have been adamantly opposed to the DBtesting so advocated my many using the same/different 30 sec. evaluation so strongly urged on Propellor Head in Audioasylum. The test here, however, is more valid and I suspect fun for the participants. As I ...

Mrtennis, of course you may not agree with the majority. Shootouts are just for the fun of it. Would you not have loved to be part of it? 
Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players
Tvad, I agree. This is about a close to an interesting test as I can conceive. It just shows how difficult it would be were reviewers to do such a shoot-out.One additional question for me is whether those participating would sell their unit to buy...

An interesting test. I wish I had been there. With regard to the skeptics, how many owned APL units, and why was Alex there?What do you make of getting split votes? 
Acapella vs. Avantgarde
I have heard many Trios in my room, at others' homes, and at shows. Only once have I heard good integration of all the drivers and good bass. This was at a home in Minneapolis with a very large listening room designed for audio and not using the w... 
Acapella vs. Avantgarde
Sdrsdrsdr, I don't know how you can make the comment, "Anyone who has negative comments on Trios have never heard them set up correctly with the right gear." You may be more easily satisfied.I managed to deal with the bass pretty well, but the sta... 
Acapella vs. Avantgarde
Whart, you cannot meet that price with any of the Acapellas discussed, which is not to suggest that they are overpriced. When I bought my Duos, they cost less than $20k and that was several versions and many years ago. Acapellas are relatively rec... 
Acapella vs. Avantgarde
I had the Avantgarde Duos and Trios, I now have LaCampanellas. I know you have an opportunity to get a used pair of Violons with their excellent plasma tweeter. I must say that I could not get either the Duos or Trios to sound good in my room and ...

Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution
Ignoring Psychicanimal's post, I have now done three records using the three step Walker Prelude. All of these disks had previously been cleaned using other fluids and my Loricraft. Previous fluids most recently mean L'art du Son, prior to that Au...

I have brought this thread to Lloyd's notice. His only comment was that he didn't care and that it gave some people things to do.I do think that early on there were interesting comments and information. Perhaps we should go back to that.I have the...

I think you did jump to conclusions with regard to Lloyd given what Flemke said. 
Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution
I have known Lloyd for a long time, Jejune and Flemke, I have known him to be very honest and quite proud of his tweaks of other's efforts that have fallen somewhat short of the mark, such as the AHT and Vichay resisters. Save for the omission of ...

Slipknot1, well said. I have, however, learned much about how and why enzymes work. I have the Walker Prelude but have yet to mix up a batch of enzyme. Maybe this weekend. Having also tried the Ultra Vivid, however, and not to hijack the thread, I...
