Preamplifier sound Quality impact in home theatre bypass
I have been doing it for years, and haven’t had anything call attention to it. I watch a few concert videos in 5.1 and find the music to sound just as good as when I played the same discs on my old Ayer C5xe that played DVD.   
Record player sounds out of tune and "wavy"
Sounds like a speed control issue. As mentioned above, any investment in repair would be better spent toward a new table. Look for a used Rega RP3  
Audio Research Pre-Amp advice
Add one more for the LS28SE, I have had mine about 2 years and am very pleased with the performance. I did have a REF5SE and it was a great piece, long story short, I tried solid state and bought the LS28SE and really think it is so close to the p... 
Sonus Faber Nove II or III
Primetime74, I guess that’s your call on the 2 or 3 but I think the old “better to have it and not need, than need it and not have it” but it usually comes down to the budget which why I don’t have the 5s although I haven’t missed them.  
Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday
Never met him or went to his store, but the man was an institution in audio equipment retailing. May he rest in peace.  
Sonus Faber Nove II or III
Primetime74, I had a very similar situation when I bought my Nova III’s. The dealer only had the V’s on display and to be honest, I was already reaching beyond what I had budgeted. I was pretty certain that the II’s would probably leave me wonderi... 
Dickie Betts died earlier today at 80 years of age
I think I wore out my Eat A Peach cassette and replaced it with a half speed master.  Funny how we look back at our youth and realize what a great soundtrack we have to accompany it. Jbuhl, that line always stuck in my head as well, so even though... 
how to fix a CD player
I would try a can of compressed air, available at most Office Depot stores. Open the case and blow out the transport mechanism and try to clean the lens by blowing across not directly at as that can sometimes distort the lens cover. If that doesn’... 
Cardas Customer Service is Amazing!
I have always had great experiences with Cardas as well. Great people Great Cables.

Dog pissed on speaker
I would be careful about trying too many liquid solutions as that will probably start to delaminate the cone. But in limited quantity the Ozium and Pooph would be a good place to start. Or possibly alcohol since it will dry and evaporate quickest.... 
Cardas hierarchy - older/newer - who has experience?
Markusthemaimnut, I am running GR source to pre amp and CR pre to amp. My power cords are GR with the exception of pre amp and amp are Clear Beyond and Golden Cross on sub. I do use Kimber Kable D60 for digital. I tried a number of digital cables ... 
Cardas hierarchy - older/newer - who has experience?
I understand your enthusiasm to grow more into the Cardas products. I got hooked years ago and have no plans or money to explore anything else. I have Golden Reference and Clear Reflection as ICs and Golden Cross speaker. I want to upgrade the spe...

Still looking for a dental floss bush….yippee yi yo Kay yea…  
Pandora now on BluOS
I just noticed that the other night. Although I am still sorting out the new BluOS 4.0, but I am slow learner on software.
