| Power cord replacement where first? The digital source is what I'd suggest, the upgraded power cord will both improve the input to the CD player and also filters the digital nasties that are outputted into your power supply from the CD player. Two for one. None of the other componen... | |

I'm not a suspicious type, but..I did a little test - take the preceeding 3 issues, open to the 'Advertisers Index' in each and then look at the Recome... | |
| Dahlquist speakers I agree with SomeC59, the DQ10's excel at vocals. A friend has had a pair since the 70's and recently had them re-conditioned, so I'm very familiar with their sound. They lack dynamic punch, something about all those drivers. Also require a bunch ... | |
| Paradigm Studio 100 vs Studio 60 Which ever choice you go with, try bi-wiring them (recomended in the Paradigm manual).I had the Studio 60's and found them to be a bit 'boomy'. The bi-wiring cured it, and improved the imaging. | |
| Where can one purchase lead shot for speakers? I also have the VS VR4 Jr's. A nice improvement is to use Herbie's big fat dots between the bass module and mid/tweeter module. Something about better damping of the vibrations from the bass cabinet made the mid/tweeter cabinet image better. Worth... | |
| best 'affordable' turntable with moving coil cart There have been a number of threads that challenge the superiority of analog over digital, which of course will vary depending on the quality of the source, either lp or CD. My very limited personal experience has been that LP sounds different, bu... | |
| best 'affordable' turntable with moving coil cart Thanks for the excellent suggestions. Originally I was considering a VPI Scout or MMF9.1, but reading others accounts of their re-entry into vinyl, it seems many are disaapointed so I thought I'd go slow and start cheap and see where it leads. I'v... | |
| Nick Drake and others like him Nick always reminded me of a quieter version of Donovan, there's a few 'best of Donovan' discs around.Another one would be Robert Wyatt 'Rock Bottom'. It got 5 stars in 33 reviews on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Rock-Bottom-Robert-Wyatt/dp/B00000... | |

| Great Jack Bruce Albums,which ones? Although not a solo record, last years 'Seven Moons' with Robin Trower is a goodie. | |
| Adcom GFP 750: why spend more? Well as someone who enjoyed the GFP750 (in active mode) for a couple years before changing to a Supratek tube preamp (approx 2400 new). With no other changes..Quantum leap forward in bass response, soundstaging, noise floor. I was especially supri... | |
