Which Piece Least Needs A Power Cord Upgrade?
I agree, listen and hear if there is a major upgrade. Better yet, leave the room and have a friend switch out the power cords and then have a listen, not knowing which one is in place.Yup many will balk at the thought of a blind test, but with pow... 
Anyone switich to all Signal Cable wired system?
O.K. O.K, I'll be more patient with the burn in, but honestly right out of the gate, they were NOT bright or edgy. Maybe they were a pre-run in pair? I'll give Frank a shout to see.As I suggested earlier, I am hoping to replace some Nordost Frey's... 
Anyone switich to all Signal Cable wired system?
Daltonlanny, I find the cables NOT bright at all, on the contrary I find they seem a little muted on top. Running about 25-30hrs on them.Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the sound I'm getting, I just hoped that they would have thumped everything e... 
Anyone switich to all Signal Cable wired system?
I SHOULD mention that my wife likes them more than the Nordost!Also, I have a pair of single ended silvers on my CD player with pretty good results. They may slightly edge out the XLR Cardas (entry level) that are also on the same player.Hmmm 
Power Cable Shootout...
I suggest sitting blindfolded while somebody changes your power cables while you listen. Don't forget to make a cable for yourself using some heavier 12/2 wire and decent terminations. Remember it's only copper wire in your wall!Tvads suggestion i...

Gallo 5LS prototype towers at the CES
My wife and I heard them on a couple of occasions at CES and thought they sounded excellent with both our own music and thiers. To some they may seem a little larger than life which I personally prefer, almost like a big Maggie.Excellent dymanics,... 
Whats your "best of CES 2008"
Joel, I heard both sets of speakers and actually liked the small ones a bit better. Maybe that was due to too wide of spacing.At the show I wasn't really looking for imaging as much as the tonal quality of the product. Typically a few degrees off ... 
Buying from Canada a hassle for you too?
Sorry that we take a week or so to get those parcels out but generally we need to charge up our cars before they will crank in minus 20 degree weather and that can take a couple of days (yes I'm rolling my eyes)It's amazing how long it can take to... 
Whats your "best of CES 2008"
Shows how everyone hears a little different. I thought the YG Acoustics sounded good. Wasn't too impressed with the Soundlabs though, really quite boring... 
Whats your "best of CES 2008"
