Vinyl Asylum: REVIEW: Skyline Musical Products VINYLGLIDE Accessory by James B. Bookhard

The distributor of this product, Mr. Robert A. Genna (also the manufacturer of the LaserBase Component Stand) has informed me that the mailiing address of Skyline Musical products has changed to the following:

Skyline Musical Products
4 Talbot Lane
Greenwich, CT 06830

Future web site links for the VINYLGLIDE product will be added to the LaserBase web address of Http://hometown.aol.com/LaserBase and email inquiries may be sent to LaserBase@aol.com. I have just had brief usage of the VINYLGLIDE product since the installation (by Mr. Robert A. Genna) of a custom made LaserBase, incorporating the usage of both the optional Twinkle Toes and Twinkle Fingers, for my Oracle Delphi Mk V turntable with SME V tonearm. I plan on writing a complete review of both the LaserBase Component Stand and the VINYLGLIDE after giving both adequate listening time for an accurate review/appraisal. So far though, the LaserBase (installed with and using both Twinkle Toes and Twinkle Fingers) have significantly increased the performance of the Oracle Mk V and SME V combination and their performance on vinyl. Anyone remember hearing the "jagged" top end on digital mastered LP's of the late 80's? Well, with the use of these products, background details which were either glossed over or not heard at all, now come to life (i.e., triangles). I haven't mentioned the cartidge I am using in the interim for a reason, which I will cover in the full review of these products. Adding the VINYLGLIDE to the surface of a recording increased the performance even further. Since I am awaiting two new final components (one a phono cartridge) for my system, I will withhold further comment until I have had the opportunity to listen through these upgrade components. But, I wanted to inform anyone interested in seeking further information on VINYLGLIDE (or the LaserBase, Twinkle Toes or Twinkle Fingers) of the change of address. Also, Skyline Musical Products (and LaserBase) may be reached at 1-800-326-8777 toll free. For anyone interested, there was a review just completed on the Laser Base Component Stand at Soundstage! It is currently in the Soundstage Archives at their Audio Online Forum. So, please do not feel offended if I do not respond to posts/questions at this time because I've only had two full days of listening and I want to give a fair appraisal of these products, with no jumping to conclusions, until using them together over a period of time. But, I can say that so far, they are enlightening!
