Aloha,

I used to say, "Necessity is the mother of strange bedfellows."

Now, it's the mother of home brewed record cleaning.

Any of y'all invent your own fluids?

I been trying to the last few days and have come up with Buddha's Fluids V1.0.

Thusfar, I have arrived at:

10 Oz distilled water.

6 Oz. 91% Isopropyl alcohol.

3 drops Cascade Crystal Clear (sheeting agent.)

1 big drop (thick drop?) Sun Light "Oxi Action" dishwasher liquid.

"Micro Fiber" towels and round cleaning pads from Auto Zone.

First, after looking at the in-room response of the Harbeths at JA's Brooklyn home I was surprised that he was not raving about their sound. I can understand the issues at AD's home, even with the Audio Notes. but AD loves his Audio Notes, as JA did. Even taking that into account, the photos show the stand heights for both seem approx. the same, but the Audio Notes woofer is considerably higher, more removed from the floor boundary.

When he recorded his TT to CD-R, cus you know CD blanks sound different, these are teh good sounding ones, they say so, must be, and they cost lots more. http://www.audioxsell.com/CDR/

Any plans to review the new Cambridge Audio DAC Magic or the Musical Fidelity VDAC? The DAC Magic is getting some really great reviews in the UK... so I'm really dying to see a Stereophile review... and how it would compare to more expensive DACs such as the Benchmark DAC1...

Made in Germany nonsense. How can Focal claim to be teh best these are more money at $199,000 then ya add a bunch of amplifers, WALLOP, I like the sound of that, but they call the drivers MELLONS......MELLONS, can I see your mid range MELLONS? http://www.mbl-usa.com/View.aspx/2154/mbl-101-X-treme-
