Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact?
This whole discussion of power cables brings me to another un-answered question I wrote back in the spring of 2006...If we have literally hundreds of miles of so-so electrical cable running through our lives...why not just use the same Romex cable... 
PS Audio's Digital Link III DAC
has anyone actually puchased and used this thing? 
Another speaker wire possibility at Home Depot???
Just purchased some wire at Home Depot to use while I save some money for some new MIT cables. 10awg...with four 10awg conductors, then all wrapped in an external black casing...Sound pretty damn good especially for something that only cost me $80... 
The most unique style speakers that sound good?
those electron-luv speakers are something else!!! 
Most Influential American Musician of All Time?
Newbee, I second Bernstein as one of the most influential American musicians. He really brought the idea of classical music to the masses. His music also had very wide appeal after his "early" days. Vegasears, I too agree that Copland was an excel... 
Recording Analog Backups to PC and CD
Oh, and on NPR a few weeks ago I heard of some unit that actually takes a digital photograph of the groves of the album and uses that information to make WAV files. Sounds kind of interesting and I wish I could remember the name of the product...I...

B&W 805D
System was all Classe Omega series...I happen to like these componets a lot....Interconects were audioquest sky...something else I like a lot....speakers were 800D...just happen to not like them so much...They were under-powered by about 600 watts... 
B&W 805D
Ah, yes, why didn't I think of it earlier, the Signature Diamond...they are supposed to be getting a pair at my local dealer as soon as they are finished with the dedicated "Nautilus" room...but I do stand by my earlier quote:I would be worried th... 
B&W 805D
I would be worried that they would be too fatiguing to listen to...I guess if you had "warm" equipment it wouldn't be too bad, but you would have to be careful. I have heard all of the diamond speakers and they seem pretty balanced, but once you c... 
JM Focal 1037 BE speaker placement
Mike,What they are saying is that in your room you should probably have the speakers about two feet from the walls (generally a good idea no mater what the size of the room)...You might be able to get away with them being 1.5 feet away, but I woul... 
HD Radio...anyone heard any in home tuners?
Hybrid Definition huh? Streaming audio is something that I am familiar with...I have thought about just streaming all of my local stations and not even worrying about getting any type of tuna (read tuna instead of tuner in some threads, interestin... 
Do well-intentioned people move your speakers?
