Are You An Audiophile Or A Music Lover?
Let's give an amen to that Sdcampbell. Gotta have the music....you know, this would make a great starting chapter to a Dean Koontz novel. 
I need a bright detailed 300 used speaker cable
I can second Seans' suggestion of the red dawn, having owned a pair....lean and detailed, tilted up a bit to my ears[ultra detailed].....I would imagine they would sing on tubes....good luck. 
dis-similar bicables? Why not?
Sean, I think you're onto something there. When I used nordost red dawn on the newform ribbons it was too much. I think the speed of the ribbons worked against the speed of the cable resulting in extremely zippy notes with little body...I run the ... 
Looking for warmth,openess, detail
Try some virtual dynamics cables. I'm just breaking in an audition power cord on the simamp. If the rest of Rick's cables are like this, I'm a believer. With one power cord the improvement is shattering....this is not somewhat better it is fundame... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
Hi, Bob. Sorry I didn't quite answer your question. Stock cords on everthing except the amp which is directly plugged into the wall...I have an absolute cable on the sim amp soon to be replaced by a virtual dynamics audience cord. So I don't reall... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
Hi, Bob. I use them on just the fixed power cords but I saw somewheres[maybe on AA] someone used one on the absolute power cord and liked it. The funny thing is you can litterally slide the wrap a couple of inches and darn if you don't hear the ef... 
"Redbook" meaning?
What is interesting to note here is Philips declaration that the new copy protected cds are no longer redbook cds but something else and must be marked as such..... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
If you're using a power conditioner with a fixed power cord, try the Higwire Power Wrap at $24.99 from www.amusicdirect.com. It make my monster 2000[sitting on bricks,] drop the noise threshold and increased ease of musical flow...very good tweak ... 
Pierre Gabriel cables
UHF is using his MLl interconnects[$1150]. In fact, they liked them so much they're carring them in their store atwww.uhfmag.com. Drop Gerard at UHF an e-mail. He'll give you feedback. I, myself haven't heard them. But I do notice both UHF and mys... 
Gold Face Olympic Power = Canada
A special thanks to all our American friends for their sense of graciousness,and kind remarks. 
Gold Face Olympic Power = Canada
The present leafs don't have enought grit and desire to win the cup.....wish it wasn't so.....but hope springs eternal.....anything can happen....if they play desperate they'll do well....The detroit red wings look very solid... 
Pros and Cons of Ribbons
I have the newforms. I found the nordost red dawn cables were too much of a good thing in my sytem[SS]. With tubes this might be different...but the sheer speed and transparenty of ribbons requires the right match that doesn't give you too much of... 
Gold Face Olympic Power = Canada
Does this now mean the Boston red sox and the toronto maple leafs will win the big one in their respective sports? Scary thoughts.... 
Gold Face Olympic Power = Canada
It was a great game, very fast hockey with lots of chances for both sides....and great for the sport....millions watched....the USA team played very hard. About our curlers? well, that's the wya it curls sometimes...you never know how people react... 
Anybody have a technical definition for "Jitter"??
"Jitter" is the word to describe me when I'm watching the Canada-USA hockey final....go canuks, go.
