Spin Clean seems to add noise to records?
I have used my spin clean only on new records so far. I read somewhere that it is a good idea to clean new records to remove film that may be left from the pressing procedure. But after cleaning some there is a static. On the A side of Dylan's Ano... 
LFD Integrated - Please talk me out of buying one
Another suggestion to give Gene Rubin a call. He is very easy and friendly to talk with. 
LFD Integrated - Please talk me out of buying one
Akgca makes an important point. LFD cabling is a beneficial synergy with the LFD integrated. I use all LFD cables with my LE Mk V- hybrid ribbon speaker cables, silicon signature power cable and an assortment of interconnects ( spirolonk iv, grain... 
LFD Integrated - Please talk me out of buying one
Have you listened to the LFD? If so, what did you think? If not, I suppose an audition would be greatly helpful. I went from a Luxman 505u to a LFD LE Mk IV. I much preferred the sound of the LFD over the Luxman. The Luxman was more cosmetically a... 
CSNY 1974 ..... pretty perfect
If you want a taste of this set without buying the boxed set go to Starbucks for a single disc for $12.95. They have been out for about a week; might be a few left. The cd includes a coupon for a free digital download. 
Fairpoint Convention
Qdrone,On more than one occasion when listening to Unhalfbricking I wondered why the couple on the cover. Thanks for the bit of info. 
Selling Dynaudio c2 what next???
As a former C1 owner I have to agree with Yashu. 
Do I have enough electronics for Contour s1.4?
I have owned Dynaudio Audience 42, Focus 140, Contour 1.4, and Confidence C1 models. I have at times used the same Musical Fidelity a3.2 integrated and cd player as you, and later the a308 integrated and cd player. It is my opinion if you like the... 
I remember Jesse Penna today
Wonderful and heart filled post. Rec, your faithful tributes are inspiring. I am about to head out the door to visit my father's grave, WW II vet. I will lay some flowers and take a picture for my 94 year old mother who is unable to go to the ceme... 
Not impressed
Milhorn,Perhaps you misinterpreted the specific focus of my post. I made no mention regarding the current challenges of high end audio as being "a small matter to you [me] as a consumer".You also affirmed my contention that many current users of p... 
Not impressed
In response to Mihorn, I do not think there is a battle between high end audio and "puny earphones". Those who predominantly or exclusively use iPods or similar players with earbuds probably have no interest in high end audio for no other reason t... 
Rega RP6 adjustable feet options / thread size?
If the feet are like the P5 wood screws are used.Unscrew one and find out. 
record store day: missed the CAKE
Downunder absolutely nailed it! 
My personal experiences moving from Sttaf to Hawk
Schubert,Good question. I would say both.I used a few different amps with the Model 1 Sigs. There was a personally appealing synergy with the Totems and Simaudio. Maybe just me. "Outstanding" is a good description. 
My personal experiences moving from Sttaf to Hawk
Thank you Drewsaur. That was a very informative and enjoyable post! I have had the Model 1 Signatures at two different times in the past driven by Simaudio amps. There is something alluring about them. As I near sixty years old I sometimes envisio...
