| Contact Cleaner Know what else is shark liver oil? Preparation H. And BTW, I didn't get the oil for that particular use...So Albert, do you think it's better than Pro Gold? I mean, that stuff gets pretty gunky when it dries...The one I have is clear yellow. I tru... | |
| Contact Cleaner OK, let's get serious: has anyone used shark liver oil? Be honest about your answer, for I have a rather decent amount of the real thing back at my parents' (almost half a liter).The real thing is cold pressed with glass panes, dripping under dire... | |

| Technically Correct Subwoofer Settings..... Use your ears!Get a cut with a good full drum set. I like Phil Collins "Hello! I must be going." Work on it--then leave it and come back the day after with some more music. It's very subtle changes ( as little as 0.1 dB ) that make the magic happe... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? The sound keeps getting better--this device *does* break in, as the instructions state! Smoother, with a big and forward moving soundstage. Totally decent...I am really starting to enjoy digital sound for the first time! Like a Virgin... | |
| Is a cheap 350 Power conditioner I don't know--I'm only using it for my DAC. I figure that if I had another line conditioner like the Jon Risch DIY I would plug that to the Power Var and then the CDP to an outlet and the DAC to another. That would keep both devices isolated. I tr... | |
| Is a cheap 350 Power conditioner Sean, my Power Var is toroidal--hey, $55--and I am very pleased. I figured when I ordered it that as a worst case scenario it would end up with my PC Tower...I read in Jon Risch's website not to get toroidals--but for $55 I did not have much to lo... | |
| Is a cheap 350 Power conditioner Don't think in terms of money--think in terms of noise control strategy. For less than $75 you can get decent used isolation transformers in eBay. I bought a 400W/ 4 amp Power Var for $55 and plugged my DAC to it. Al I did was to open it up and us... | |
| Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction??? Bob, I already got the Highwire Wrap. It's very good, especially for the price. The improvements are just what Bluenose posted. | |
| Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks I have an IKEA rack made with the coffee tables for my tube preamp and DD turntable. Awesome PRT... | |

| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Bluenose, I got my Wirewrap and it works! Very nice upgrade for so little money...thanks.I placed it in the power cord of my Panamax Coax Four. My Tice A/V Solo, Power Var isolation transformer and power amp are plugged to it. Excellent. | |
| Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction??? Hello Charles. Have you visited this website? It has a very good discussion of noise and ways to control it. Also a *very* good DIY noise control section: http://www.magnan.com/ | |
| "tube" cd players? Ah! Tjoeb: made in Netherlads out of a Marantz chassis. | |
| Do power conditioners really help? The dedicated line is the first line of defense. If you can install one, go for it. Since you are using a receiver, pretty much any power conditioner will constrict dynamics. That's why the dedicated line should be the first step. Then I'd go for ... |
