Cleaning melted plastic from MC275 chrome surface
I agree with Peter. Goo Gone has come through for me many times where other products failed. Be gentle, and let it sit there for a while. If it is working, do it repeatedly.Good Luck. 
Do cables settle in?
In my experience, they do settle in, and it applies to interconnects as well as speaker cables.

Dynaudio contour with 30 watt amp
Yes, you would think so, but in my expereience with several monitors of the same efficiency, a tube amp of that power rating, (a deHavilland to be specific) was not up to the job of really controlling the speakers and making the sing as they shoul... 
Dynaudio contour with 30 watt amp
I agree with Mattmiller. The Dynaudios love power, and in the end, higher power solid state will give a more satisfying result.

That is about the sloppiest post I have ever read. It is nearly unreadable. 
Celestion Model 100 enquiry
The bass mid driver that Celestion developed for the sl series and their derivatives had a really magic way with voices. For my personal taste, they are just too dynamically constricted for full time use in a main system, but they are too good to ... 
Celestion Model 100 enquiry
I want to state again that these small speakers really like a strong amp to control them. There is a big difference between an amp that can play them, and one that can control them and really allow them to do their thing.I also owned the sl700 spe... 
Celestion Model 100 enquiry

Hi Fi Dealer in New York City?
A second vote for John Rutan at Audio Connection in Verona. Very nice guy and good stuff to listen to. I bought several things there when I lived on the east coast and had several very enjoyable and informative listening sessions with him. He is a...

Hi Tony,I'm glad that you chimed in, because I had wanted to add to my previous remarks by making readers aware that this digital cable only cost $175, a price that makes it a very good buy. It is also true that I did not break them in for 200 hou...

Get a divorce. 
Review: Darwin Ascension Interconnect
Based upon the good word of others including Nonoise, I took a leap of faith and bought the silver digital cable about 5 months ago. I had high expectations based on the design theory which made a lot of sense to me, and after a short few days I d... 
Hot Tuna "S/T"
I have had the CD version of this for many years and still listen to it on a regular basis. The sound is good, but it is somewhat marred by tape hiss. Great music though.
