| Mapleshade Records Tweaks-Silclear & Micro-Smooth Try Purist demo discs #13,#311 blues guitar,#310 remakes of pop classics.Jim can also make recommendations. | |
| Alpha-core or perfect lay inductors for upgrading? Michael Percy sells silver ribbon air-core inductors.You will need to check with him for values.Might not get large enough for use in bass crossover. | |
| Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't I am a very ,very small dealer for Walker Audio {Silent Source/Omega Mikro},Mapleshade and Red Rose.I have connections around the industry,which I use to help those people who have caught this passionate "bug".I prefer to call things as I see them... | |
| Does anyone use Lamm M1.1's in their system now? These are terrific amps and you will need to go to a custom/non-commercial amp to do better.In absolute terms,the top-end is a little subdued and it won't flesh out every corner of the soundstage.It is extremely natural and will drive loads to 1 o... | |
| Mapleshade Records Tweaks-Silclear & Micro-Smooth I can give testiment to the silver treatment and Mikrosmooth also.But you forgot the Ionoclast at $38.50.Have used it on CDs,power cords and cables-amazing.

| Which CD Player? Talk Electronics or Shigaraki? The 47 Labs transports vary widely from one unit to another.I know a digital designer who was using one to build his gear.He brought in several others,of the same model.Only one had the magic,he is frustrated.Even contacted 47 Labs with the serial... | |
| Best Inexpensive DAC I believe that a Timbre TT-1 or Adcom 700 DAC {believe that is the model #},would make improvements.Can't comment on the Birdland,but it is warrantied.You might read the TAS review of the Birdland to get an idea. | |
| Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't I have recently brought the platforms back into my system.I did buy the standard finish 2" platforms-no returns on 4"ers.I hoped that I could return them,not needing to spend the money.At first,I wasn't sure.I took them out and listened-not bad.Pu... | |
| The new Audible Illusions L-2, an improvement? These units are obviously being delivered by a mule or bicycled around the country.People contacting AI are being given the run around.My advice is not to do business with them,unless you like being JERKED AROUND.I will surely report ,if my friend... | |
| What wire to use /"upgrading" internal speaker Michael Percy sells internal wire.I suggest looking at the voice coils.The wiring there will let you know what gauge to use on that particular driver/speaker.Bigger is not always better.Use solid core silver on the mids/tweets and copper on the ba... | |
| I'm thinking of getting into tubes, what do you Don't worry about mixing and matching tube and solid-state.Preamp output impedance should be low,amp input/high {40-100K}.You should be fine. | |
