Upgrading from Adcom GFA 5802
Hi Yes9,I used to own two Adcom 555 MkII amps, bridged to monoblock mode to power my Snell B Minor speakers. I tried the Bryston amps, mentioned above, but thought they sounded cold. I eventually decided upon Plinius equipment, and have been very ... 
Should you use cleaner on your stylus?
I use the Paul and Doug World Famous MCME stylus brush, followed by soft artist's brush and/or the Onzow ZeroDust. I insert and glue a small, flat plastic handle into the MCME, making it easier to use. I include one with every order of the AI stuf...

That's great news about getting a cartridge and a personal note from John Grado, Pat. He's really a very decent man: generous, kind and helpful. He donated one of his more expensive pairs of headphones when the Audiogoners got together, last summe...

Bin ... that was indeed beautiful. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. When my mom was dying, she urged my dad to re-marry. In fact, she named some women she thought would be good for my dad ... and 1 year after my mom died, my dad marrie...

I make a bunch of these at a time because I include one with every order of Audio Intelligent record cleaning formulas. If anyone would like one, I'd be happy to send them one at no cost -- we'll let Audio Intelligent pick up the cost of postage. ...

Who has made their own LP cleaning solution?
Hey Bob (Jyprez), talk about serendipitous timing ... at the urging of Arnie Goodman (proprietor of Blue Storm Music -- check out his website www.bluestormmusic.com for outrageously good prices), just this past week I sent Mr. Fremer large samples... 
DIY stylus-cleaning magic long
Here's a further tweak for Doug's excellent tweak. The brush can easily rotate while in your hand, especially if you're using a round toothpick. I thought a more solid handle would be good. I picked up a couple coffee stirrers at McDonalds. It has...

Oh well. Hair today, gone tomorrow. While you deny it, I do think your decision to forego the chemo is a brave decision, as well as a wise one. As we discussed, 150 good days is better than 300 bad ones, and that first course of chemo certainly ca...
