| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! @oldaudiophile Yeah, that's not what I'm talking about. The newest product is sold in 1 oz bottles at twenty-five bucks a crack and you mix it with 3-4 liters of H2O, designed specifically for cavitation machines like the Degritter. | |
| What is the first thing you do when you unwrap a new vinyl record? Clean it. | |
| "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. | |

| 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. | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear There's vintage audio, then there's vintage audio. While seventies receivers seem all the rage, there are also many great antiques out there. Take a pair of Quad 57's and Quad II amps or Futterman OTL's from the fifties, with some simple mods o... | |
| 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. | |
