Preamp Deal of the Century I've read most of this tread in the last three days. So glad I stumbled upon it. Have been thinking of introducing a tube pre into my system to mellow it out (reduce brightness) . . .	3669
SET bliss Great system Charles, similar to mine, and we have the same taste in music. I have the same amps but use the Coincident Statement Phono Pre since vinyl is an important part of my . . .	507
Steam cleaning records 2 After 6 months of thinking about it I finally took steps to start steaming. Watching stltrains' video recently is what did it. My cleaning regime is very similar on a 16.5 RCM . . .	410
Record-playing Rituals? Does anyone find that record cleaning solution beads up on the record instead of forming a sheet across the record surface? Seems to happen more on new records, and varies between. . .	197
How Much Time do You Surf on Audiogon? Maybe a half hour at work and an hour at home, but it varies. I'm thinking about getting a second computer networked in to the main one downstairs. It would be a laptop so I . . .	97
Clio's 2-Channel System Great system and setup. I'm looking forward to hearing Duke's speakers someday. I'm interested in the Room Lenses if they can add liveliness to the room. I have six Real Traps . . .	91
Decware - any substance here? The OP back in 2010 mentions no genuine reviews. There is one on the Zen Torii in Tone Audio, Issue 41 November 2011	83
Graham tonearm tweaking Sirspeedy I would never have known about the critical nature of the damping fluid without your comments and I thank you. And Doug your comments, especially those dated 2-15-05 are. . .	76
Acoustic Signature Turntables I have had a very bad customer service experience with Gunther of Acoustic Signature. The power supply stopped working, I contacted him on Jan 21st, he said he would arrange for . . .	73
Replacement for Maggie's? Harri, I hope that works for you, but I highly recommend you look at Peter Gunn's website http://www.indiespinzone.com/magnestand.html I found all of it and there is a lot there. . .	52
What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean? I started using Vinyl-Zyme on my 30-year-old records that have not been played for ten years a couple months ago. Also used records I buy. This is followed by the regime used on . . .	52
ZYX Airy2-X-SB on Graham 2.2 Larry, Doug mentions in his review of the ZYX cartridges that the Graham 2.2 might not be able to control the Airy3 as well as it does the Airy2. Is this what you mean by the &. . .	47
Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance You can try cables through The Cable Company for a fee. I did that once but don't remember the cost. It wasn't much. I've had cables from Harmonic Technology then Cardas Neutral. . .	41
Vandersteen 2WQ My speakers are Coincident Super Eclipse III's and I use a 6 watt SET tube amp. Adding a pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subs was such a major system upgrade, I could not be happier. . . .	32
PT Listening Room Peter, Don't forget the amp I sold you (and still miss - Ayre V5xe) in your tale! Of course without the speakers I sold Jax2 the amp is meaningless to the synergy I had in my old . . .	23
Ejlif (current refrence system) Hi Ejlif, great looking setup and nice integration of PC audio. For a couple months I've been thinking of changing my digital front end. Rip all my CDs to my PC and use a . . .	23
Experiences with ModWright Sony 999ES I've had my Modwright 999ES for a few days and am amazed at how it sounds. When broken in it will be phenomenal. Previous CDP was a VSE modified 9000ES which was very good but . . .	21
To Loricraft users I sold my VPI 16.5 and took delivery of a Loricraft PCR3 3 days ago. I made the change mainly because of concerns related to transferring contaminants from record to record. The . . .	21
New Stones album on vinyl Does anyone know if this vinyl album was made from digital or analog tape? Digital I suppose	18
Are you/or do you want involvement in a audio club I'd like to hook up with other audiophiles and music lovers for selfish reasons. I think it must be the only way to judge the sound of your own system. I've never heard any other. . .	15
meadowlark nighthawk/ vandersteen 3a sig I also have Vandersteen 3A signature speakers and would like to emphasize what agaffer said about room treatments. I added Realtraps to my room and heard a more pronounced . . .	15
Super Tweak for Nottingham Space TT Can anyone suggest a good MC low output cartridge to use with the Spacedeck/Space Arm combination? Thanks	15
phono preamp with volume control Coincident Statement Phono. Also has one aux input for a CD player or similar source	13
Tube Ampp Almarro low level hum As Jax2 said I had this amp for a while but did not have any hum at all. So I don't have much to add. I contacted Almarro directly when i was looking for tubes and received . . .	12
Vandersteen, Coincident or Green Mountain Thanks for all the great input. I'm not going to make any changes, at least not for a while without further thought and possibly some auditions. My listed alternatives may very . . .	12
Mapleshade Samson racks? I'm also interested since my sampson is on order. It will have a 4" solid maple top for the turntable. I spoke with Chris Brady at Teres Audio about this a few months ago . . .	12
Audience Au24 speaker cables with Vandersteen I hope you're right because I purchased some Au24 bi-wires today. Regarding the comparison of the Au24 interconnects to the HT PSW III, the differences were not huge, but better . . .	9
Analog Set-up Tools Thanks to all who responded. The turntable basics protractor looks good to me, and I agree no VTA gauge is necessary	9
Anyone using Coincident Total or Super Eclipse I may buy either Super Eclipse IIIs or Totals without hearing them first. Having read owners's comments I feel confident I'd like them. Dan, Mike and Metralla, did you ever try . . .	8
Anyone using a touch screen for PC audio? If you had a Mac Book in addition to the Mini you could set up Sharing on the Mini and use the Mac Book from your chair to control and see everything on the mini. This is assuming. . .	7
Analog One MkII vs MKIII? I spoke with Larry at The High End Palace on this question last week. The Analog One MkII is not available and has been replaced by the MkIII. It can be had with the standard . . .	7
Additional armwand for Graham Phantom? Thanks for the responses. It sounds like cartridge alignment should stay consistent taking an armwand off and on, but azimuth might not. This might not be too much of a concern . . .	6
Can an iTouch be used to control iTunes on a Mini? I have a mini as a music server on my equipment rack with no display, keyboard or mouse attached. I control it with my MacBook. I temporarily attached a monitor, keyboard and . . .	6
Subwoofer other than Strata 3 Check out Vandersteen 2Wq subs. Probably the best for integrating with your main speakers. They are unique in that they connect to your amps speaker terminals and this in part is. . .	6
Moerch DP-6 VTA Adjustment Thank you. I suspected it was such, not easily repeatable or adjust on the fly, but for me that is probably not important. And the different mass arm wands to match different . . .	5
VTA on SME V Thanks for the info Nsgarch. I have a Graham 2.2 but I'm considering a second arm to mount on my table. The Graham is so easy to setup and adjust, although I don't change VTA (. . .	3
