| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! Anyone try the Mobile Fidelity Ultra Record Wash, 1oz bottle, for ultrasonic machines? | |
| Canare 4S11"G" now available! @roxy54 "I guess it never ends. Oxygen free, then why not OCC, and while they’re at it, could they make the insulation PTFE?" Actually this cable has a better insulator, polyethylene, than PTFE, polytetrafluoroethylene, with a lower dielectri... | |
| Speaker cables with good timbre I was not aware that timbre could be adjusted by speaker cable. I have about five different speaker cables but see no point discussing them since I would have no idea how they would affect timbre. You can try an affordable cable like Canare 4S11G... | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? immatthewj 'I would probably put almost anything by Shane MacGowan as a good song to get loaded while listening to'. Now that was a man in need of a dentist but death got him first. | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? Here are two German beer drinking songs embedded to two German/Swiss musical beer steins with musical movements. Notice something about the movements? https://i.imgur.com/8QwdnLA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IPAE2Uw.jpg https://i.imgur.com/vOEij... | |
| Budget integrated amp? Musical Fidelity A1 integrated amplifier. Retains the original esthetic and wonderfully musical without the overheating issues the original had at a price below the inflation rate with what the original went for. | |
| Thoughts on the new pressing of "Bookends" lp from MFSL @slaw "The siblance on "s"s, seems more pronounced/noticeable." I always thought that DSD kind of softens the upper frequencies, not make them more pronounced. | |

| Bookshelf speaker recommendations How about ATC SCM 11s. A sealed design with fantastic dynamics. Even the smaller SCM 7s might work. | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? Whoever said to use bare wire with the ends tinned together is one of the first methods I used. That said, four plus decades later I've tried everything from inexpensive solid copper nickel plated spades purchased at the hardware store to WBT ex... | |
| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric @rbyington71 "A CD is a spinner and a laser so what does a 12k Esoteric do that a $1,200 Marantz doesn’t." I’m not going to waste any time explaining the differences in specific components and the fact that there are a plethora of machines that ... | |
| Time to change Audiogon may not be the best place for television and sound bars but products like Naims Mu-so all in one systems just might fill the bill for you. It sounds very good and frankly betters a lot of setups that I've listened to recently. | |
| Mainstream Phono Stages Incorporating Premium Branded PCB Parts - Do They Exist? Great design and tightly tolerance parts are the key to higher performance. | |
| 1990 Radio Shack catalog I simply miss being able to go the local Shack for basic electrical components/parts. And not just them, the three or four independent electronic parts businesses that used to operate in the Chicago area. | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For Purchasing an Esoteric Audio SACD player. And recently taking off my Ekos SE Titanium tonearm and put back my mint Ittok Black arm. After many recent updates to my LP12 I realized the Ittok is a better tonearm. |
