I have a Mark Levinson No.38 preamp that has been stored for quite sometime. A thick film of dust settled on top of the chassis over 5 years. I wiped it down with a damp microfiber cloth, but it still seems to have a somewhat dull finish on top. Possibly denatured alcohol?
What could I use to bring back the high sheen?
Thank you.
Warner bros have re-issued Dire Strait's first album as well as Communique'. They are to soon release the other albums as well. These are by far the best recordings I have heard!
I've compared this 180 gm LP to my original Warner's 1978 LP and a Vertigo records re-issue. The Warner's 180 gm LP is more musical in every aspect. It is my #1 desert island disc!
Michael Fremer will need to buy 3 copies:
One to play as his new demo standard;
the second to use when # 1 wears out;
the 3rd to keep for posterity!
We've got the new HRT Music Streamer Pro USB DAC in for review at <I>Stereophile</I>. We always try to find helpful tracks for putting a product through its paces during our listening sessions. What music selections would you like to see used for this review?
All of the speakers I have owned in the past have always had rather large bass drivers incorporated into their designs. These speakers have always been very satisfying to me with how well they can fill the room with sound and move tons of air with very little effort. My previous speakers were Klipsch Chorus II's with 2 x 15" drivers per cabinet and my current speakers are Legacy Signature III's with 3 active 10" drivers per cabinet. I'm using a PASS Labs X250 for amplification

Open Letter to the Guy who stole our backdrop in San Diego:
OK guy, let's assume you were drunk and just being a stupid idiot for
a night.
Shit Happens. I've done stupid shit while drunk too (although never as
badly as you did the other night).
Six years have lapsed and just now I have started to get back into the wonderful, eclectic world of Hi-Fi. My how things change!
I was a subscriber to Sterophile from 1993-2001 and thoroughly enjoyed the magazine. Jonathan Scull use to give me many a laugh with his reviews.. I will never forget the infamous Shun Mook Mpingo disc and spatial control review he did back when he was sporting the Avalon Ascents and Forsell Statement Reference amp, Jadis JA-200's, C.A.T pre etc..
So, I am looking forward to being here and making new friends.
