HELP...Bubble Wrap Marks in PIANO BLACK Speakers??
Elizabeth:I'm intrigued by your Meguire's "Scratch X" suggestion. Have you tried this before on piano finished speakers? I do not have any diapers, but would MicroFiber cloth work? That's what I use on my car. 
HELP...Bubble Wrap Marks in PIANO BLACK Speakers??
Thanks Guys: All good suggestions, but they didn't work. The speakers are serveral years old, so it is a hard finish. I was told different types of wool are used on buffing wheels and I'm afraid in the wrong hands more damage can be done to the fi...

Tvad: Thanks for the vinegar tip. I tried it... but it did not work. I'm at a loss. 
Best Outboard PreAmp With Krell HTS 7.1 Pass-Thru?
You did not specify if you wanted to go tube or solid state?Thanks. 
Recommended Speakers with Krell 450Mcx Mono Amps?
I have heard that Krell amps have good synergies with Revel's Ultima line of loudspeakers. 
Dunlavy SC IVa or B&W 802
These speakers require a large room to be effectively setup. Preferably on the long wall. You need at least 10'++ of separation distance for these speakers. Plus some room from the side walls. Even though your amp will drive them, the SC-IVa's wil... 
How Long Cables From Turntable to Preamp?
OK, let me see if I understand this. If I use, say 9'-10' of cable from my pre-amp to the phono stage... and the phono stage is right adjacent to the turntable... I should be OK? 
Recommended speakers around $10K used
My speaker placement situation is VERY similar to yours, in that I'm forced into near wall speaker placement. You absolutely should not consider a rear ported design, such as the Revel Studio/Salon, Wilson's, etc., regardless of how good they are,... 
Best Speaker For 14' Separation & Placed Near Wall
Mikej- No firm decision as of yet, but I am doing a heck of a lot of research. I am leaning toward the Piega C10 Ltd, due to the fact it is "not" a rear ported design. Rather, it has 2 passive front bass radiators, affording me more near-wall plac... 
Wilson Sophia vs. Piega C10 LTD... Which To Buy?
Seems to me you may want to consider waiting until the new Sophia-2 model is released by Wilson Audio in a month or so. I don't know if the sound will be dramatically improved or not, but a new crossover and tweeter are incorporated into the new m... 
Any Comments On Musical Fidelity KW Monoblock Amps
Tlday - Not really. I own and love MF products. If you own the KW's, I would love to hear your comments. I'm curious why, if only 75 were made, they still have "new-in-box" available for sale, and have not sold all their production of only 75 units? 
Any Comments On Musical Fidelity KW Monoblock Amps
I understand the MF KW amps are 1000 wpc amps. Other than that, I'm not sure a Musical Fidelity amp can be worth $24,000 or $28,000. They did a price change after introduction from $24K to $28K. That's a lot of grren and I would look to the VTL Si... 
I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell
If you want to make real money, stick the the Pyramid Principle. "There are more people with money to spend on the lower end of the price scale, than at the top." I'm sure you've done some research and know what the surrounding stores offer. Next,... 
What's Absolute Best Upsampling CD Player $2K-$3K?
Gentlemen, you have all given me a good insight into the availability of players in the $2K-$3K range. It seems this thread drifted into the EC territory a bit. I have no issue with EC and would certainly consider it, except I don't know how conve... 
What's Absolute Best Upsampling CD Player $2K-$3K?
Jeffjarvis: Yes I've seen them. I don't know anything about them. Are you familiar with them? I think they use a spider clamp to place on top of the CD.
