Cryogenic experience wanted. Constructive please
I don't think paper, pulp, hemp and the like are good candidates for cyro treatment. I could be wrong but from what I've read, metal benefits from it greatly as NASA, the DOD and scores of universities have found out.I just read that the procedure... 
What is your take on Mapleshade products
Looking back at my last post, lest anyone think I was knocking Pierre's recording ability, what I meant to say is that there are some badly recorded artists out there, on other labels that would have fared better with Pierre at the controls.All th... 
What is your take on Mapleshade products
True. His methods are quite good are as his recordings but they're not for everyone. I don't think it would take much searching to find recordings he could have done better but such is the nature of the business.On an aside and in keeping with my ...

What is your take on Mapleshade products
Just wanted to chime in on trying my very old Mapleshade powerstrip. My amp is already straight into the wall so all I had to do was A/B my CDP into the Brick Wall surge protector and then into the Mapleshade powerstrip. After a dozen times it was... 
What is your take on Mapleshade products
I use their Double Helix speaker cables and flatwire ICs as well and can't say it any better than Ivan. I've tried other, more expensive cabling and came back to the Mapleshades. After reading what Ivan said about Pierres power strip, I just may d...

The Demise of the Hi-End Audio Store
Not in order of importance but there's any number of online reviewers who will get back to you. Then there's Elliot Midwood of Acoustic Image who lives close by and like Hifigary said, if you live in an area where there are some salons or homes wh... 
The Demise of the Hi-End Audio Store
Elizabeth is right. No one I know travels far and wide to hear something save for some audio show, and then everyone is always apologizing for the sound due to the venue.Back in the day, salons carried only select brands that they liked or could s...

What is tube rolling?
"How did it get revived?"One day, while waiting for my pasta order to go, I spotted a poster with every type of pasta imaginable represented. When I asked the cook why so many types, he responded: "Centuries of boredom."All the best,Nonoise 
Need a system for Chamber music--ideas?
I think Almarg is spot on with his "outside the box" solution.I hear everything my system puts out and more with just a more than decent set of earbuds and quality portable DAC, with my iPod. Granted, it's not the same listening experience as in r... 
Need a system for Chamber music--ideas?
Have you actually heard the bright line between 1st and 2nd strings on another setup and not yours, with the same recording? It may be just the source recording you have and not really your system.Try some different recordings of the same music fr...
