| Black Diamond Racing Shelf for EMM CDSA? As long as we have a scientist here - If you are travelling in a car at the speed of light and turned your lights on, would they do anything? I always wanted to know the answer to that. | |
| Loricraft PRC, multiple-step cleaning and static Gruv Glide will eliminate the static. I'm not convinced it improves the sound of a clean record, but it really clears up the static issue for a long period of time. It cleans off if you can't live with it from a philosophical point of view. Person... | |
| vpi cleaner The more expensive VPIs have more features, but don't clean any better. Once you get an RCM, you will learn it's more about cleaning technique than whether you move up or down one notch in a product line. Buy the 16.5 with a couple of Disc Doctor ... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster and Target Wall Shelf The Blinn stuff looks good, but from the pictures, it looks like the wood sits flush with the wall. Where do the wires go? Over the sides? Not too pretty as far as I can see. I'm not saying it does work this way, but you should check it out. The T... | |
| Whats a good power cord for the Sony XA5400ES? Soundstrings makes a nice AC for digital, which sounded very well-balanced on the Sony. Cost about $35 or so from Venus HiFi. | |
| small companies making today's best products Mrtennis - which companies have you approached to "modify their designs" for you? I'm not talking about upgraded caps and such, which some of the smaller companies offer, but an actual modified design? Did you supply the specs for the circuit? Yes... | |
| Whom to invite to a Powercord shootout party There are people who believe that because they can't hear something that nobody else can either. As I recall, hearing acuity varies from person to person, although some people choose to ignore this. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster and Target Wall Shelf Target also makes a 2-shelf wallshelf, which you may want to consider for the phono preamp and the power supply. However, it only comes in the smaller size, I believe. I don't know whether this will fit the Scout, so check first. There are a few i... | |
| Near Field listening Concerning studio monitors - I got a laugh out of Lrsky's comments about studio monitors not being that good. I recall many engineers telling me that they liked the JBL 4311s because they sounded so bad that once you got the music sounding good on... | |
| Gruv Glide I started using GG as I had a horrible static electricity issue with LOUD discharge pops. It is definitely good for eliminating the static charge and the resultant dust collection. I first clean with an RCM and then treat with GG. It does deposit ... | |
| Getting Into Analog-Vinyl For The First Time...... I would go for the 3/24 with a simple phono stage such as the Project Tube Box. It will keep you satisfied at a modest cost and then bring good resale after a year or two when you figure out what you really want. The Scouts are fine, but I think t... | |
| It's the Sony XA5400ES the best CDP under 4k IMO, the Doge6 is far superior to the Sony on CD playback. I've owned them both, so I feel I have a valid point of reference. The Doge6 has a much more expansive soundstage and depth, and portrays acoustic instruments more realistically. Personall... | |
| AMR LS-77 full range monitors Borg - as a long-time fan of standmounts, I can tell you that the stand is absolutely crucial to the sound of the speaker, especially the bass response. Don't even think about evaluating them when haphazardly placed on various shelves in your home... | |
| Would adding a Dac improve the sound for my setup? After looking at your system and seeing your goals, (clarity and soundstage)my advice is to forget the dac, scrap the PS power conditioner and pick up a good power conditioner, such as an Audience AR6, or the 6T if you can stretch. Lower noise flo... | |
| Detaching Guarneri Homage columns from marble base Perhaps the previous owner used some Blu Tak, which can become quite tenacious over time. The preferred method is to "twist" the speakers off the stands rather than pull them up. Good luck. |
