| Audio Research CD3/CD3 MkII: how much difference? I bought a CD3 new and had it for several months before having the opportunity to get it upgraded to the MkII. So I was very familiar with the overall sound in my system. The MkII is a definite improvement assuming your system can reveal it. I fou... | |
| Any member feedback from C.E.S. 2006? The Quatro now comes as an option with wood up both sides, and up the front to the bottom of the drivers (~ 75%). The full sock is eliminated in favor of just a small grill over the drivers. The insides are the same. This gives buyers a choice of ... | |

| Isoclean Fuse A couple of comments. First, the only way I know of that a fuze can effect the bias is if it has a high enough resistance to cut the voltage from the power supply. It seems unlikely that a fuze would reduce the bias by over 25%. Something else is ... | |
| Is There A Moveable Base To Easily Voice Speakers? On carpet, put the speaker on a piece of MDF cut to fit inside a baking pan. Works for even the heaviest speakers. | |

| Vandersteen 5A's...about to take the plunge Jon, when you get them, send me back a picture. I'd be interested in how different or alike the grain is. | |

| Neutral powercords Keep in mind that the performance of any interconnect, cable, or cord is system dependent. You can start with recommendations, but be prepared to test with your own equipment, room and ears. | |
