Stillpoints - snake oil?
I did try some Ultra Minis under my TT and found a better deeper bass, however the midrange seemed to lose it’s luster. Also I felt the highs were more softened and a bit more subdued. So in my opinion they do make a difference, but didn’t solve t...

Audio Desk Ultrasonic Record Cleaner Onwers?
I am going with the 100 interval for changing the fluid and the rollers and the filter. I figure if they figure 150 is the normal interval, Then I am just assuming that the last third of the life of the rollers in the fluid would have fairly dirty... 
LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR
Over the past year or so I have been trying to find speakers for my home in that price range as well. I have tried only a few as it’s hard to find dealers that have what I really want to listen to. But I have listened to the Vienna Acoustics Conce...

Problem with brand new black ARC Ref 6
Tattooed, I agree it seemed a bit much for one guy to have these issues on the only components I have owned from one manufacturer. It was frustrating at first because I have been a McIntosh guy for years and switching was hard. The new "dead" unit... 
Problem with brand new black ARC Ref 6
Actually I had two problems with the LS26, first unit arrives dead with no sound. After speaking with them on the phone they next day aired one with a call tag for the one I had. Then I had a number of issues with the "mute" circuit not un-muting ... 
Problem with brand new black ARC Ref 6
I have owned only two ARC components an LS26 and currently a REF5se and had issues with both. And I can add to your experience that I was treated extremely well in both replacing and repairing. Truly a great company to do business with. 
Ayre preamp no output
I agree with Audioconnection. And would add while it is unplugged press every button, power switch, rotate volume, input selection etc., this will drain any capacitance that may be stored and causing a processor brain fart in the unit. 
New Audiogon equipment search format.
Thanks to AudioGon for letting us know that they will be offering the Classic View, once they get the glitches ironed out. I can be patient while they work things out. 
New Audiogon equipment search format.
To whoever at Audiogon that conceived, designed and implemented the new design. You did a wonderful spectacular job, but it has just one minor thing that is missing, should I be so bold to share my thoughts.Please consider those of us that use and... 
Suggestions for Full Range Speakers up to 10K
 I have been in the market and am focusing on the 10k as well. I haven’t had much time to audition very many so far due to work and finding dealers with many to offer in that price range. But so far I listened to the Sopra 2’s but only once and wh... 
Popping sound on SACDs from Ayre
I have the same player with the “mp” upgrade and have never experienced this issue. I have had a few small issues and found Ayre to be very supportive and responsive to render a solution. I would contact them as this may be a minor fix and they ca... 
Are there any really good cd cleaners out there?
I have been using Shinola for years with great results. Especially on Netflix discs that sometimes won’t read. It is available at Elusivedisc.com 24.99 per bottle.
