Copper vs Hybrid differences
"Hybrid cables are too lean, harsh, and bright, IMHO"...MHO is different from yours, Audio Girl.My AZ Matrix Ref mkII interconnects do not sound lean, harsh or bright at all, despite the fact that they are hybrid. I don't know about hybrid speaker... 
Arcam FMJ CD33 vs Cary 306/200
I compared Bel Canto and Benchmark at home in my system.Liked the Bel Canto much better - much more involving, smoother, deeper soundstage, much more relaxed sounding throughout the entire spectrum, deeper bass. Benchmark kind of upset me a little...

Damping Top of CDP
Marco, I figured that you would throw some good ideas around :) 
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 ...

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... 
Power Conditioners to reduce Sibilance
Let the B&W bashing begin.I don't agree with the problem being casued by B&W speakers.These speakers are revealing, that's all. That could be a disadvantage, but you really do want your speakers to be revealing, don't you. The whole idea i... 
Power Conditioners to reduce Sibilance
Not sure if the power conditioner would tame down brightness in your system. When I installed Shunyata Hydra power line conditioner in my system I noticed overall reduction in noise floor, but I can't say that it reduced sibilance. You may want to... 
Redirecting bass frequencies
Tom's idea is great and if it is properly realized, it sure looks like it could be an advantage over converntional room treatment such as absorbtion where latter could definately be too much of a good thing... 
Redirecting bass frequencies
Tom I think you are talking exactly about what I am looking for sonically. I will think about it. I can just smooth out those corners and see how that will change things. I'll start with that. 
Redirecting bass frequencies
thanks Tom. I had to read this few times to better picture everything you did. Yes, sounds good, unfortunately I can't do all this as this is a living room as well. And it's an appartment. If I start this here, my land lord will go off like a miss... 
Redirecting bass frequencies
Tom, what you are saying is very interesting, however if you could expand on this a little, I would appreciate it. I think you understood what I am trying to accomplish and it would be great to hear your thoughts on how this is done. thanks in adv...
