Teres Audio
Well, he responded to my first email in early June, and then nothing. The website is still operating. I find it surprising that Teres would be out of business. 
Analog Journey to Singapore Hifi Show
Great stories. Thanks for sharing. How did you meet all of these folks, Mr. Semantics? 
Review: AudioMachina Maestro Ti-200 Speaker
Superb review. Very well done and clear. I heard the Pure System here in Seoul about seven years ago. The best speaker I've heard, and I've heard many. It's a holy grail for me, and I'm originally from Fort Collins! I hope to spend time with the g... 
SACD... can you hear the difference?
It depends. When I first started listening to SACDs about nine years ago, I could certainly hear a significant improvement over CD. Much greater clarity, precision and quality. However, some SACDs are not of such good quality. There's a significan... 
Record cleaning fluids
I used to use AIVS. Then I switched to TTVJ's enzyme cleaner. Much, much better and a lot cheaper. 
Spin Clean seems to add noise to records?
I've found that TTVJ's Vinyl Zyme Gold does a much better job than AIVS. It's also a lot cheaper and can be bought in concentrate form and mixed with distilled water in varying levels of concentration. When I used AIVS on my record cleaning machin...

JM Lab Nova Be or Eggleston andra 3 ? anyone?
I much prefer the beryllium tweeter to the esotar tweeter. Regarding deep bass, if you have the right amplification, the Novas will go very deep indeed. 
Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD?
The first thing that struck with me about the K-01 was how mammoth the soundstage was--wall to wall, front to back. It was giving my vinyl rig a real run for its money. 
Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD?
Yup. Guido up there turned out to be right, but I came to the same conclusion not after a massive break in of that particular setting but after the break in of the other setting. I think using the K-01 over a period of time with one setting does p... 
Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD?
I've just changed my settings on my player. As I reported above, I started with Slow Delay1 plus no upsampling. I became dissatisfied with the sound after awhile and I've now switched to Slow Delay2 with 4x upsampling. this combination currently s... 
Upgrades by Ezekiel
Randy does good work and is a good dude. His religious proselytizing gets annoying at times, but he has a lot of integrity. I will say that his upgrade for my pioneer tuner involved the addition of Vampire RCAs and putting them in involved the rem...
