Hilary Duff...you know....Lizzie McGuire.She's a modern day Debbie Gibson. In other words, the little girls scream over her. A musical talent? Not really. Sorry for the cryptic joke. 
Speaker Cable to pair with Soliloquy 5.3's
With the Sol's, I would suggest using the Ultra shotgun bi-wire, unless your room forces you to sit less than 6 or 7 feet from the speaker. Or simply treat the room appropriately. Because when bi-wired, the Sol's project exceptionally well, and a ...

There are so many distinctive Brazilian female vocalists, many more that we have here in the states, it seems to me.I don't know about that, Tubegroover. My 10 yr old niece would have to take issue with that statement, as she'd take Hilary Duff ov... 
Speaker Cable to pair with Soliloquy 5.3's
I think Rysa4 meant to say that Soliloquy uses Analysis Plus wiring.They are excellent with Signal Cable shotgun bi-wire. I've also found them to work well with Analysis Plus Silver Oval, though if you have a SS system, I'd probably stick with cop...

Will do. Thanks, Psychicanimal.Just heard a bit of Leila Pinheiro today--fantastic!I'm always surprised that more audiophiles don't listen to Brazilian music. They always have the most incredible musicians, and stellar production.

Larryrosen, Just curious, what nickname has given Chris Berman given you? 
Hi Fi burnout.
Sean,You said it, and your post alludes to the experience that I've been having just this week. Staying up late, reading through posts about the latest and greatest in CD players and mods. I get excited reading about the A/B tests between various ... 
RFI or Capacitor issue?
This time, when the whining noise was happening, I gently rocked the left 6922, and it stopped--for a few minutes. Just to be clear, I don't mean microphonic tube whine. This sounds like an electronic static sound from the speaker, and it rises in... 
RFI or Capacitor issue?
1) Do you mean when I cross the IC's Red to Black & vice versa? I have not done that yet.2) I get a slight popping noise (like the one I described) if I gently rock the left channel 6922 tube. The rising electrical noise is intermittent.
