CD Treatments :-
Hooper:No fear with attaching the Codename to the drawer. My wife made it a project and covered the entire tray surface(probably not necessary) and temporarily used tape. The result is frightening :-) 
CD Treatments :-
Hooper:Since the duplication process is new to me, I would not know where to begin picking a transport for this procedure. It might be more efficient to chat since you are way ahead of me on this subject!!Thanx :-) You are officially contributing ... 
CD Treatments :-
Hooper:My lathe was bought April of two years ago from The Cable Company. They informed me of the one faulty batch. It caused similar scratches and fracture lines extending in from the periphery. They insisted that I exchange it and to not try ano...

Hooper: I have owned my lathe for ~ 2 years and, after receiving a model out of a batch of faulty lathes, I lost the nerve and its replacement has sat idle. The two discs that I successfully cut sounded very relaxed and analog like. I don't think ... 
Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys.
I have 13 stones and 23 on-line pair. Yes, they do work. I use two at the subpanel where my dedicated lines emerge. This is a huge help. I experimented with 1-3 stones on my APL 3910, my Theta Citadel monoblocs, my Vandersteen 5a speaker on the to... 
Las Vegas
Does anyone have a place and a system for ppl to get together and listen to music. In New York, there are six differnet clubs that meet monthly at a member's house. It is a lot of fun. 
any comments on demagnitizing cds ?
I own the Furutech RD2 and have only found it to be positive in my system. I sometimes get lazy and neglect it, but it always lowers the noise floor resulting in a smoother, more detailed presentation. I find it better when I do both sides of the ... 
Anyone heard the new Moody Blues SACDs yet?
Treyhoss, Go to AA....many discussions in the past week :-)Paul 
Another Dealer sets the Bar LOW
I am not a supporter of some dealers, but would you have bought these same speakers from the guy if he had told you they were demos and a customer also had it at home for two weeks and returned it?....lolPaulps. glad it all worked out :-) 
Vandersteen 5a's
Thanks guys. I wondered why I never saw posts here on Audiogon about this subject. Vandersteen owners cover most everything with deep appreciation and understanding. Stock power cords have always been subpar, to say the least. I actually forgot th...

I will be moving back to Las Vegas in 2007!!! My father has finally agreed. I have constantly upgraded my system and have finally reached a level that my father actually looks forward to daily listening sessions. A good way to start is to share th... 
If the room is the thing, how do I fix this?
I own two pairs of Shakti Hallographs in a big room. They are the biggest bang for my buck to date! I first heard these in the small hotel rooms at CES 2005 and 2006 and the rooms just seemed to disappear.Good luck!Paul 
Best Interconnect to use with APL/Denon 3910
I use an Audioquest top of the line Sky interconnect with great results. I just switched to the latest Ridge Street Audio Design Poiema III signature interconnect. It takes no time to break in because it gets cooked on the Audiodharma before it is... 
Las Vegas
Lunna, Sad to say that nothing has transpired :-( My wife and I are temporarily caring for my dad in Long Island and will eventually return. There are a handful of clubs in the metro area and it is a lot of fun. All Las Vegas needs is a good push ...
