| DIY balanced interconnects I have compared Mogami Neglex 2534 with Oyaide PA-02 on a system with an Atma-Sphere MP-1 preamp and M-60 monoblock amplifiers.According to Ralph Karsten, no difference between the cables should have been apparent. However, I heard more extension ... | |

| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Anyone who makes their own DIY cleaning liquid ever substituted Simple Green (citrus based) for Dawn (or similar) dish washing detergent?I know Dawn is considered safe. Even Sal Zaino recommended Dawn to me for use on my black cars before applying... | |
| Best Speakers for LSA Integrated How about LSA speakers?It would seem to be a natural fit. The LSA 2 (Standard, Signature or Statement model) could likely be superior to the VSA VR-4JR...especially the Statement.Used versions occasionally appear on Audiogon. | |
| Best IC cabling under $1000 for tube system This thread will inevitably result in another well intentioned laundry list of everyone's favorite interconnect.In the end, not very helpful in identifying what you will prefer in your system, with your gear and with your ears.I suggest contacting... | |
| Looking to get a turntable. I need to hear some other tables, I guess.I have a KAB Technics SL1200 with several of the common upgrades. It's on a sand box designed by Galbier Design and built by Timbernation (about $290). The Dynavector XX2 II cartridge was aligned using a M... | |
| Looking to get a turntable. 03-26-09: JoelvIt's not listed on Audiogon, no. That's why I asked for a private message. I can post it here if I'm supposed to do that. We are supposed to pay for listings rather than offering items for sale in the discussion threads. | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. 03-26-09: RhanechakWould 100 wpc solid state do the trick for the Dynaudios?That would depend on the size of your room and the volume at which you listen.The Dynaudio 72 are not particularly sensitive at 86dB.A 100wpc amp will run out of juice at ... | |
| Looking to get a turntable. 03-26-09: JoelvI happen to be selling a Systemdek IIX. There's no Systemdek IIX listed for sale by you. | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. 03-26-09: RhanechakI was using a Prima Luna Prologue 1That's the answer to the unsatisfactory bass from the Dynaudio speakers.The Prologue 1 is not enough amp to drive the Dynaudio speakers. The R3 are a better match.I'm doubtful any tube amp woul... | |

| Steam cleaning records 2 03-25-09: Harrison_sWalgreen's is now selling the "Living Solutions" steam cleaner, model #516414, for $29.98. It looks exactly like the late lamented "Perfection" steamer except that it's green instead of red. There is no lead warning on the box,... | |
| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? I'm not sure how being a promoter of the MintLP is a bad thing. Since it's sold direct by the builder, no one who recommends it receives any benefits other than knowing they've suggested a device that works, as has been documented by at least a do... | |
| Paradisea owners With an input impedance of 100k ohms, you have no matching issues with either tube or solid state sources.If the input impedance was under 40k ohms, or so, you might have heard roll off with the Paradisea. | |
| Paradisea owners Depending on the input impedance of your preamp, a solid state DAC may have more extended, and better defined bass and treble versus the tubed Paradisea.Some may interpret this as sounding better. Would you?If you are seeking a more relaxed sound,... |
