Record-playing Rituals?
Having just shipped samples of RR cleaner to both Detlof ( in Switzerland) and Sedond ( USA) , I look forward to reading comments as to the outcome of their tests. 
How can power cords make a difference?
Jhunter. You are certainly welcome to listen here anytime you are available. Advance notice of a few days would help, and I am willing to pick you up at the airport and treat you to dinner.My reason for assuming that audio tools are not important ...

Jhunter, if you are married and I blindfold you, are you certain you can identify a kiss from your life long partner? It would make the experience even more difficult with a room full of people waiting on the outcome while you sat in darkness. May... 
Record-playing Rituals?
Sorry Brian. Of course you are right about the name change. I was one of the very first people to switch to RR fluid, having tried the home brews and name brands of the day. In fact, I gave away a gallon of a competitors cleaner after trying a sma...

Detlof, If you will e-mail me, we can exchange addresses. I have a sample bottle from the CES that normally retails for $25.00 that I will send you for free. 
Record-playing Rituals?
Frap. Yes, the effect of the Last solution has already benefited the vinyl a few moments after application. The final wash with the Record Research fluid is a minor miracle in retaining Last's benefits, while removing the (solvent?) obscuring tona...

I regret that I am limited to only a +2 +2 award for the above post by Jadem6. 
Best EL34 ?
I just purchased eight of the old EL34 Mullards on EBAY for $200.00,. My current wholesale price list from New Sensor Company shows the Tesla E34 L @ $8.90 each dealer cost. This makes a total investment difference of only $128.80 for amps requiri... 
Record-playing Rituals?
Frap, I used to use the rinsing with distilled water method, and TOTALLY agree with your comments as to the sound quality improvement it provided. I now have a new method that does not benefit from this and will explain.I use Record Research deep ... 
Best EL34 ?
Longplate has named it. I like the brown and black base Mullards with double getters (hole in locator pin) the best. Second would be the AEG Telefunken, the single getter Mullard and the Old Dutch Amperex. The old Amperex are very good, but do not... 
Suggestions for In wall speakers?
For a guy that owns Vandersteen, that is a very strong recommendation. I will add them to my list. I plan to buy two pair of HT speakers, one for side walls and for rear. The new Dolby EX will take advantage of this configuration, so I would like ... 
Inexpensive DIY Speakers
Thanks Trelja, the amount of detail you offered should qualify your post for more than a +2 rating. I am tempted to build a pair of these myself. Your effort is appreciated. 
How can power cords make a difference?
Thank you Trelja for relating your experience. These musicians went into this test with healthy scepticism, and were drawn closer to the performance by the (unexpected) improvement. This appears to be identical to what many of us experience with p... 
Best interconnect for Sony SCD-1 w/ss
I agree with the two posts above that suggest either the Cardas or Purist. I am using Purist Proteous with my SACD and find the resolution to be excellent and tonal balance very good. I would like a touch more warmth if possible, and the Cardas wo... 
How can power cords make a difference?
Stevemj. I am not opposed to ideas, only to comments that scientific evidence is necessary to prove that something works. I am very confident of my hearing and the results of my testing. I think that if those of you that disagree that power cords ...
