Speaker Wire for a non-anal listener
Yet another home run for Uncle Paul's Auntie Cable. 
Perfect Soundtrack for Stylish Sunday Lunch?
Tomasz Stanko "Suspended Night"The sticker on the CD says that if everyone who owns 'Kind of Blue' listened to this, it would be a best-seller tomorrow. It is one amazing CD, in my opinion. Very accessible, non-cliched jazz trumpeter and his quart... 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Isn't it? One of my top-10, for certain.If you like that, try out Nick Drake "Pink Moon".I really enjoy Tim Buckley as well!

Artg & Joymechanicalboy,Skip about 4 songs down on the same album..."Lover,you should have come over." What a weeper! 
Your choice for SET amp?
Good luck, indeed, Tickfight. If I remember correctly, you were talking about the DB-99's and then asked about an appropriate SET amp under $2K, yes? Pairing the components for sonics, as well as balancing their respective capabilities, will be cr... 
Which label printer for jewel case edge?
Thank you, Elizabeth. I'll go to Best Buy today.Nsgarch, I'm talking about the plastic edge of the jewel case, the one you look at to read the title of the CD when it's on the rack.Thanks for the help,Howard 
power amplifier through a conditioner
I have another suggestion that you might try, as you plug the amp directly into the wall:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?accstwek&1119782187This stuff really helped give body, roundness, and increased detail to the music. I don't have a... 
Need Ambient Speakers to Hang in Corners. Really
Stereophile Recommended Class A Component October 2004 - Sam Tellig said "the Pathos Acoustics Classic One is one of the finest-sounding amp I have ever heard, of any era, from anywhere - including amps costing $20,000 and more.... I know of nothi... 
Need Ambient Speakers to Hang in Corners. Really
Peter,If you can get a chance to listen to an Audio Aero Prima Hybrid amp, I highly recommend it. You can occasionally find the MKI (6922 tube) version here for around $650, and the MKII (remote & hard-soldered 6021W tube) goes for maybe $1350... 
Your choice for SET amp?
No question, Delancey, you have excellent ancillary gear to compliment the Duo's. I heard the AG's with the Audiopax amps, and I happen to prefer the 6C33C tube of your Lamm's more than I do the KT88, particularly for the types of music that are a... 
Your choice for SET amp?
The Duo's can be had for $9-10K used, generally. The Uno's for maybe $7500-8000, rough numbers obviously. Shall we wish you good luck in your hunt, or did you end up with the DB-99? And what amp did you end up pairing with those VS's?Regards,Howard 
Your choice for SET amp?
Close enough, Tickfight?http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&1119072120 
Your choice for SET amp?
I've heard both--as well as the Uno's & Duo's--and I'd go for the Duo's as well, on one condition: that the room is lenient enough to allow you to move them around until they sound right. I've heard the AG's sound both excellent and off-puttin... 
The most detailed speaker cable??
Grant,Is there a lunch pail to go with that?Maybe a thermos? 
The most detailed speaker cable??
Highdudgeon,If you can believe it, a friend of mine has the Destriero Scafusia in rose gold. Now there's a Picasso for your wrist!And I say, whatever makes you happy is a good thing. I only wish that Top Ramen was a viable substitute for my sushi ...
