Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes digital cable
Silver Bytes is 75ohm and MC2 is 110ohm. What's the difference? Could I use either one? 
Amplifier hum: Does it need repair?
Thorman may have your answer.If you have cable tv, try to take the cable wire out of the first point of entry into the system, which is probably a cable box. But remember, disconecting the cable box would not show anything. Only taking that cable ...

Clio, nice response...thank you. 
Which DAC? SFD-1 MKII/Bel Canto DAC1/MF A3.24
You may want to consider Bel Canto DAC2. Never heard the Audio Mirror or SF or Musical Fidelity. SF used to make good stuff. I don't know if that particular SF dac will better the current dacs in the price range though. Clio, what other dacs in pr... 
What's your favorite Patricia Barber album?
By the way, that latest live cd, I don't have it yet. I got to get it. It's got to be good. Ipy, thanks. I checked out the new cd of Stacey Kent. She's pretty good. See the thing is if you look at all these singers, they basically sing all the sam... 
What's your favorite Patricia Barber album?
Hard to decide which one is favorite but lately I've been listenning to mostly Verse, Moder Cool and Companion. Question is, after you have all of her CDs, what else do you listen to or recommend that is close in style and quality of musicians?Any...

Damping Top of CDP
leave the Brooklyn Bridge alone, I cross it when I go to work every day. I like the beef vibration control solution better. I may actually try it some day. Jax2 what do you recommend as acoustic room treatment I wonder.... 
Arcam FMJ CD33 vs Cary 306/200
I recently auditioned the FMJ CD33 and Cary 303/300 at Sound by Singer both on the same system. CD33 would not do for rock music, sorry to disagree with previous posts. Cary player has better bass and smoother highs with delicious midrange. Arcam ... 
In Shower With M_Logans
are these ML speakers antistatic or electrostatic? Because if they are antistatic, this could be a reason why they are in coma. 
Power Conditioners to reduce Sibilance
You could actually find another used single run pair of the cables you already have and just double your run. Find a place that will let you audition a pair so you don't waste your $ on something that will not produce desired results. 
Power Conditioners to reduce Sibilance
Adam, I know there isn't much faith in cables changing the sound of your system, but I decided to mention this to you anyway....Is your speaker cable a bi-wired pair?If not you must be using the B&W jumpers? My speakers sounded terrible with a...
