| Shine-Ola and Novus CD treatment I see. There is a big difference between vegetable cleaners and solvents such as IPA. It was a Chemist that owns a PCB oil testing lab that had mentioned that Novus contained petroleum products. I guess I could ask him for further information if r... | |
| Has Anyone used PRO CDR for transport ? I've had an Alesis Masterlink for the last 2 years and on occassion, have used it with external DAC's in my system. There are a few simple mods which really help the Masterlink and cost little. | |
| Shine-Ola and Novus CD treatment No Silicone products are used either. It is film free. We've found that products that create a film, (such as petroleum based (oil) products, silicone based, and polymer based), actually increase the error rate of the media. Within the digital dom... | |

| What is the deal with the ART DIO What IC's are being used now? I know that people are using the Linear Technologies LM 1365 and LM 1362, what is the other IC? | |

| Does size matter? I have to agree with Kirk, the JM Lab Mini/Electra Sub is a great combination, regardless of the price. | |
| JM Lab new high end speakers: any rumors? Grills or not, they certainly sound like a finished product. Do you have details regarding the new tweeter, Kirk? Inverted dome? | |
