| Recorded Cleaning Machnies I have a Clearaudio Double Matrix Pro Sonic (long name) cleaning machine, and I like it very much. It does both mechanical and sonic cleaning/drying on both sides of an LP at the same time. I had a VPI 16.5 for many years and this is much easier ... | |
| DAC 'Scam' Vid This past weekend I finished my upgrade from a $7k Cary to a $30k plus Naim ND 555 with the separate 555DR power supply. As good as the Cary sounded in my system, the Naim is much better all around, as it should be given the price. After selling m... | |
| Audience Cables My entire system contains Audience Front Row. I had demo's Audioquest Firebird which was very good, but the Front Rows beat them in my opinion. I had Tellurium Q Ultra Black for many years prior to this. | |
| Cable Quest I've gone through Analysis Plus, Kimber, Audioquest, and Tellurium Q. After having the Tellurium Q for eight or so years, I changed to Audience Front Row completely throughout my system. Very nice cables sound and flexibility wise. This is my stop... | |

| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles Although I rarely get to eat it, I love a good meatloaf, I like mine with a brown gravy served with garlic boursin mashed potatoes and fresh green peas. | |
| Vinyl Care I second the recommendation of a VPI 16.5 cleaning machine. I had one for almost 15 years and thousands of LP's. I sold it last year for as much as I paid for it way back when. The only reason I sold it was to upgrade to something more automate... | |
| About Koetsu Rosewood I've had my Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum cartridge for almost 15 years now. It produces beautiful sound mounted to the 10" Ace Anna arm of my Nottingham TT. When I purchased the Koetsu as a dealer demo item I had it playing through a McCorma... | |
| Gain level on a REL sub I have two new Rel 212/SX subs scheduled to arrive via freight service next Monday the 21st. I plan to connect them to my CJ monoblocks using the high pass method and the neutrik connector cables. I wil indeed be doing the room crawl to get their ... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? I just upgraded to a Naim NP555 with its corresponding 555DR PS power supply. While it did not reach the dollar threshold of the unit in the video, it was a big acquisition for me. I could not be happier. My Cary DMS-600 was an excellent unit, but... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? What a thread. You could change the topic to cables, amps, speakers, etc... and there will be bashers coming out of there holes in the ground. If the price discussed was $500.00, there would be replies stating that you can't possibly get anything ... | |

| Shipping speakers from West Coast to East Coast I purchased my Wilson Alexias a little over a year ago. They were shipped from the dealer in Chicago, IL to my home in Charleston, SC via Fed-X Freight and the three wooden crates arrived in two days completely unscathed. I gave the driver a $100.... | |
| High Performance Moving Iron Cartridge Candidates? On my Linn LP12 I have a Grado AEON 3 cartridge and can recommend quite highly. The only cartridge I would consider replacing it with would be it's next level up, the Grado EPOCH 3. | |
| Koetsu cartridges. They must be something special. I've had a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum for almost fifteen years now. It has been a wondererful treat. |
