| Best sounding New Age CD Check out Michael Stearns "The Lost World" on the Hearts of Space label. This CD has some very powerful low end on it, as well as an awesome waterfall on track #1. It was on REG's TAS list a year or so back. | |

| Freak Me Out MC 900 Ft. Jesus, One Step Ahead of the Spider, cut #3: If I Only Had A Brain. But be careful; the bass hits on this cut will definitely test your system's limits. Plus, there is all sorts of wierd stuff on here. | |

| Power Cords for Spectral equipment Yes, Ucmgr, go to www.fatwyre.com, The Cable Company. | |

| Rock and Roll Speakers Kelton, While many of my fellow audiophiles may scoff at what I'm about to say, here goes. I just had a pair of speakers made for me by Bill W. at Audio Ventures in Milwaukee, WI. The cabinets are heavily braced, 7 cu. ft. int. vol., with zebrawoo... | |
| Argent Room Lens Sorry, this is not a response to your question, a Ihave the same question as you. However, if you fellow Audiogon room treatment wizards would be so kind, I would like to know if the Room Lenses work well with regard to dissipating standing bass w... | |
