Just a follow up, I tried a solution of 1/2 cup RO/DI (Distilled) water, 2 oz of alcohol (93%), and 2 oz of vinegar with 1 drop of dishwashing liquid (Ajax), brushed with groove, rinsed with a little more water, blotted and dried with paper towels, I wiped the water off. I watched through my...

Bought an E-Sound E-5 and it is very nice, I have not listened to every thing else out there but my 2 cents

Thanks again, the E-Sound is truly musical in nature and true to whatever source cd I drop in. I have been re-listening to my cd's and it is good for me, a good change from the ramblings of the tv news. Thank you Dr. for all of your support in getting this great machine into our hands. Now if...

I just want to thank both Big Shot and Uncle Eric for the many posts and the huge amount of shared information. (You also Ingo) I am listening to Brain Salad Surgery on vinyl, after hand cleaning and blotting with lots of paper towels. I don't know if the paper can cut the vinyl, does anyone...

A picture would be a great help thank you for the technical advise hot melt is great stuff.

I am certain the are worth it, but I'll just have to wait, even on sale they are out of my league. Still it is cool to see the ultimate products being used and talked about here. FNG that I am. Maybe next year. Any suggestions on lower to middle cost connects?

So the auricap and swenson mods are do able for a beginner? I have a steady hand and a jewler's mangifier headset. It looks as if it is worth a try? Thanks for the great thread, it is very interesting to see how these machines work.

I am new to this and just received the AKG 701's and master amp wow they are great, hypnotic is the term that comes to mind. Can you suggest an extension so I can reach the couch? thanks

Sorry, I just filled in my signature. I am new to this I usually just lurk and read everything you guys post (the entire ESound e-5 thread). I upgraded my system to the Ohm Micro Walshs (I traded in the Ohm c3s I bought in '81-25% discount on the new speakers) and the Emotiva units for my...

I guess I should break down and order one of the E-5s!
