| Anyone ever try ear candles for better listening? yes, and no change noticed but it was fun to try.It depends on the residual accumulation of ear wax etc remaining in the ear canal. I use a Stylast after a shower for good effect, but must make sure it does not wick back up into my cochlea. | |
| fab audio model one vs. coincident total victories TVs are full range whereas FAB 1s need sub reinforcement.FAB may be more revealing and musical overall however and more efficient. I am sure Glider Guider will chime in on this one..As in all fine things, personal choice in a system context is key. | |

| Anyone using a Graham 2.2 with the Aries 2? I had to put spacer washers uder the arm board to raise it.Arm height adjustment range was insufficient. | |

| Idler wheel drive vs Belt Thank you to those who responded meaningfully.Johnnantais: any experience of comparative listening of the Lenco vs say a Teres or equivalent well executed belt drive? I do not have the possibility of hearing all comers, so I want to some comparati... | |
| Gamut CD1 Mk.2: Anyone own or listened to it? I and a friend both owned this model.We both found it unreliable, disc reading issues.I ended up with SACD1000 and he went Esoteric. | |
