Speaker Cable Too Short What to do?
Boy Vantageaudio, look at the rack on that MIT! 
How long have you had the SAME GEAR?
Lugnut, I love this phrase from your post: " My system isn't as whizbang as most I read about here but it is very musical. I have spent 35 years collecting vinyl and have to laugh at the minimal strides hi fidelity has taken in this time."Anyone w... 
Who would like to see a "Tube" section
I like the idea, I look for tubes frequently at EBAY. The bidding is usually furious at their site when something great is up for bid. 
Speaker Cable Too Short What to do?
I agree Kelly. If fatparrot was saying bad things about the Bush administration he should apologize. Although David 99 has proven his value around here time and again, your backing him up is most likely appreciated. 
where does one buy leadshots for loading spkrs?
If you are really concerned with toxicity, there are dive shops that sell copper coated lead as ballast for scuba divers. I am not certain about size choices, but you would certainly have the ability to add and remove at will, without risk to your... 
PowerChord from audience-av top class power cable?
Unfortunately I cannot advise you on that choice, I have not auditioned the Audience cord.I do know from experimenting with Purist, that constant plugging and unplugging to get "instant" comparisons with other cords destroys the Purist's ability t... 
Cable Fetish: Exotic, Warm and Romantic
I absolutely agree with Newbee, the Cardas or Purist Audio would be the ticket. Both will provide extremely clean and neutral to warm tonal balance. 
bypass outlet and hook wires directly to romex??
Stehno, your idea would certainly provide the best available performance for a Romex type run. The point that some of you may be missing is the fact that some aftermarket high performance power cords REMOVE problems when they are inserted just bef... 
PowerChord from audience-av top class power cable?
If you are already auditioning the Purist Dominus, everything else is downhill from there based on my trials. Is the reason for not buying the Purist after your glowing comments due to price, or is it not for sale? 
Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker?
Quote from Kevin Blair. "when I awakened, I was informed that we had all received nick-names during the night. Mine was to be "Buggtussel"Thread subtitle is "sleeper" high end speaker. Appears to be accurate, at least in obtaining it's name.;~) 
bypass outlet and hook wires directly to romex??
Could be better to attach power cords directly to Romex. Honestly, I have never tried it. Other than the obvious inconvenience, I suspect such a rig would be against local electrical code as well as a safety issue.My city requires any splices or c... 
Step Up or Step Down?
BUSTED!But it was fun, and I (maybe) got everyone to look at the link Conrfed provided? 
Step Up or Step Down?
Man, that's an awesome photo, wonder how they shot that totally chromed finish without any distortion or black showing or revealing the camera or photographer? 
If your System can Speak
Glen, it is the Soundlab owners site.http://www.condor-connection.org/slog/When I supply the new image it will show my current components as well as cosmetic and acoustic changes to the room.By the way, SLOG is looking for more traffic. I ask Audi... 
Speaker Cable Too Short What to do?
You did not mention where you got the cables. Perhaps the store has a customer that needs what you have, or MIT has some show samples or demo's they would trade you for minimal bucks.Certainly worth asking about, I would not splice or join an MIT ...
