| Best redbook CD playback system for $30k I would spend $10,000 on LP playback and take the other $20,000 and go on a world trip. | |
| Power Cord Burn-In Power cords do not need burn in. It is that simple. | |
| Home brew cleaning solution Thai is about what I thought. Thanks. It is not a matter of spending $30 for a bottle, but the fact that their can't be anything to the liquid that should make it cost just that. I am not about to spend money to have my dedicated outlets cryo trea... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? I had noticed what you said. The VPI fluid that came with the machine covered the LP and also developed some suds. While the RR just sort of seems to clean and not cover the LP. Now what I do is sort of scrub the LP while it is spinning. I softly ... | |
| Eliminating static electricity from albums?? I clean them on a VPI 16.5 and treat them with Gruv Glide and that does the trick for me. | |
| phono cable suggestions.. Okay Readster, I'll bite. Where can you get a discovery cable for $100 ? Or are you just trolling for gags ? | |
| What tubed preamp that is not too fussy ? Let me just add on more comment. We all need to be very careful of the answers we receive when we ask questions like this.I have asked questions like "what is the best rock speaker for $1500". When we read reviews or ask for answers from others, w... | |

| Replacing tweeter in old Advent speaker? When I had my Large Advent's in the 70's. The tweeters were always going on these beasts. I used to put a inline fuse to the speaker input. I can't remember the amp rating though. Most likely a 1 or 2 amp. | |
| Looking for a speaker under $1000. used. I have a stand by pair of Thiel 1.2's that I keep just for when I sell my mains and buy another pair. I just recently sold my mains and have been listening again to the 1.2's while in between my new purchase to arrive. Just tonight as I am sitting... | |
| Rockin Speaker under $1000 used Buy some Thiel 1.2's and use the rest of your money for some more vinyl. | |
| phono cable suggestions.. I swear by Discovery cable. I just bought a 5din to rca from Joe and his cables can not be beat for the money. | |
| Grado Sonata pops out of grooves during crescendos I have the Sonata Reference and it requires 1.5 g. Might want to double check the specs. | |
| Changing to less expensive gear. Switched from a Rogue Magnum 99 to a Blue Circle Despina, Didn't like either one of them. I tried a AES AE/1 to hold me over until I could figure out what I wanted. I have kept the AES. It is a killer little preamp at any price. IMHO, it blows awa... | |
| How many years before MP3 becomes king? As much as I prefer vinyl and hi-end, and I never listen to CD's at home. I would welcome some type of hard drive system that would have 5000 songs in my boat or truck. |
