    Clear Audio Double Matrix questions

    Hi WB Mine is in the adjacent record storage room and is quite loud. I do not recommend cleaning while somebody is seriously listening LOL It definitely does the trick and as you say it's just a couple of more button clicks. Watching the solution being spread is kind of therapeutic in a...

    Clear Audio Double Matrix questions

    I still use mine which must be undergoing puberty by now. All the records I've bought were already very well cleaned by the sellers or were sealed. This cleaner therefor never really had to do any heavy cleaning. My only bit of advice is to fill the tank partially to save on cleaning...

    A Bucket List Wish --- A Vacation Much Overdue

    One of my favorite countries to visit for sure. On my bucket list is to stay at a private onzen in the middle of winter :D For the watch enthusiast, some if not the best selection of used time pieces in terms of condition. It appears the Japanese really take care of their watches. They simply...

    Verity Audio went out of business

    I am saddened by this. They made very musical and forgiving speakers that continue to be enjoyed by a number of my friends.

    New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

    Miss you too Buddy and I will surely pass your warm greetings on. So near and yet so far! I have a funny story that happened in the "cabin" in the garden. I'll tell it to you when we talk next LOL. It's rated G, I promise :)

    New Otani is where foreign dignitaries are often billeted as you are close to the Diet. You must stroll the garden. Still, the eclairs..... !!!!!!! :)

    Visit to Todd (sbnx) Avantgarde Trio G3 in Parker, Texas

    Most definitely not what I have. I have a US pressing.

    Visit to Todd (sbnx) Avantgarde Trio G3 in Parker, Texas

    My pressing is terrible :( They tried to cram all the songs onto one disc and compressed the heck out of it. I don't know if there are other pressings. One of the few where the files beat an LP of mine.

    Marten Mingus Septet speakers

    Congratulations! I just delivered Septet Sig Eds to their happy owner a few weeks ago. You describe them the way I heard them. I miss babysitting these speakers. I was genuinely sad when I had to pack them up for delivery.

    New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

    I rememeber Gilbert Arenas saying that Zion should play the 2 given his height and speed and power going down hill. I thought it a bit strange because Zion can shoot but is not elite. 25 pounds off makes sense in this scenario though. We expect he'll be faster and if ANT or Brunson is anything...

    Ron's Favorite Private Rooms + Systems of All Time

    I'm sweating buckets as I hope V 2.0 will be at least just as enjoyable to you and Tinka Ron. I think the only components remaining from your last visit are the racks, the AF1 and the Graham Elite. Wow how time flies. :) See you soon!

    Beliefs About Time and Money

    I like what Tiesto said when asked why he basically dropped the genre that had him selling out venues like Wembley Stadium. Artistically he felt that he had fallen into a rut and just wanted to do new things musically. Asked how he could so easily forgo those millions, he simply said...

    Why does my TV sound more real?

    Youtube and Youtube music use 300ish mbps MP3 which is really more than enough for casual listening. It is tuned to be fuller down low and a bit rolled off up top compared to other non 16/44.1 or higher streaming services. The OP did say he compared a live concert recorded and shown on TV vs...

    CH M1.1 or A1.5 x 2

    If you do go with another A1.5, it should be noted that the bass (as well as lower midrange texture) takes a big jump when set at Monaural Mode. In this mode, the wattage goes up while the amp ups power by using both rail power supplies on the output rail used. If you opt for Bridged Mode you...

    Joker certainly wouldn't be able to stop Shaq :D

    New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

    The Orlando and first 2 years at the Lakers Shaq maybe. He still had crazy mobility. I don't think the bulked up Shaq could get out on the perimeter quick enough to bother the Joker Rainbow.

    The cars you have loved, or are in love with. Tell us your car history and what each one taught you

    Early this year I let go of my E63S. It had very low mileage and went to a friend who is a true enthusiast and would take care of Max as he was fondly named by my son. The fact that it had low mileage was the reason I let Max go. I only drive far for golf or for the beach. As such the SUVs ended...

    Speaker Recommendation up to 70K

    The Marten Parker Quintet Diamond Edition is no slouch either. Funny as revisiting this thread after 3 years and forgetting about it that we now represent Marten as well.

    CH Precision P10 phonostage

    What my friends up North said. I'm not missing anything and I feel I've got nothing more to look for quite honestly. This is something I can live with for a very, very long time. The killer is that because of the modular architecture, upgrades will likely be made available in the future.

    System for Under US$10,000 MSRP

    The Reflektor 3A remains an excellent speaker and I wouldn't change it. Old school SS however I would refresh. I would change from Rega to Technics 1200G with a base Ortofon Concorde cart with a replacement OM-40 stylus or OM Century stylus. The DD should improve percussive impact. The Luxman...
