Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
Actually the HD 9 speaker cable is their top of the line. 
My most memorable ROCK moment
Pink Floyd, "The Wall" concert. Bruce Springsteen and the E street band some time in the 80's. Rock Nirvana. 
What's In Your Tape Cassette Deck Tonight?
I spent may an hour lovingly copying entire albums and making mixed tapes (yesterdays version of a playlist). I gave them as gifts but mostly I made them to be listened to in the car. They're in boxes in the garage. Time to donate them but I wonde... 
Which Firewall cable
Yes I meant to say Firewire. Thank you Al. The cable is from external drive to computer. 
I don't get it
Thanks for the input and comments. The carpet is on an oak floor.I've decided to place 1 inch thick non resonant stone tile (perhaps granite) under the speakers and raise the speakers at all 4 corners with cones of some sort. 
I don't get it
Milpai, I'm reading anything and everything I can re various footers. I've also been reading the threads here. So yes, I am interested in user experience. The speakers did not come with anything else. I contacted the manufacturer forany input, thi...

New level of ridiculousness
READ BELOW FOR PORTIONS OF A REVIEW BY JACK ROBERTS OF DAGOGO.I’ll start this review with two confessions. First, when I first saw the HB Cable Design PowerSlave distributors, I thought these have to be the most expensive, best looking power bars ... 
Wrong speakers
I agree with Seadogs1. Research Vapor Audio's offerings. There are forums here and elsewhere. They are often mentioned as favs/best sound at shows. 
Triode Wire Labs 10 power cord upgraded vs 10+
Agree with the above posters. My 8's were upgraded. Glad I did it. 
External drives
Thanks Sfar and Almarg. When I began ripping several months ago, I was using iTunes and I did have a back up drive. One day I mistakenly deleted everything that I had so far imported. A lot of music. I thought that I'd be OK because of the backup.... 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
HiDiamond cable. All of it. 
Still mystified by mega expensive power cords
I second the Triode Wire Labs recommendation. Try the 7's. Most wire is overpriced, some outrageously and shamefully so. I've been the sucker on more than one occasion. I'm in the 'believer' camp because of my own listening experience time and tim... 
Speakers that do pianos really well
Don't know if they were mentioned already but if you can, audition Audio Notespeakers. I dropped something off to be repaired and piano music was playing. I was floored by the realism of the music coming through the Audio Note's. Gorgeous. 
Entire system cable recommendation
HiDiamond! Read the forums about this brand here on Audiogon. I've had a lot of cables come and go. The HiDiamonds are here to stay. I'm using their higher end cables. Sablon audio cables are also excellent!.
