Audio Note AN-L bi-wire question on sheilding
Ill give them a try. They werent done up as you had mentioned. The sheiled was connected at the amp end but not at the other. A dealer made them up off a roll of wire. 
HDCD FLAC FOOBAR SPDIF Cary 303/200 HDCD
Humm been awhile. Yaeh I emailed Cary to no avail. Used dbpower amp to redo them in 24bit. Scanned the library with foobar for all the hdcd files. Some good suprises. Did that yesterday. Took awhile as I'm just coming out of a vinyl phase.

Thanks for all the feedback and info. With an HDCD it does trigger the light and recognisesthe content. On some Cds it sound better other upsampling is better. Better meaning more dynamic and detailed. There is no way to turn it off and on. Just u... 
Replacing Ortofon MC20 looking for some recommends
Purchased the MC Gold a few weeks back. Very happy with it. Put on my MFSL copy of Abraxas and I have to say its never sounded better. Thanks for the suggestions....

Replacing Ortofon MC20 looking for some recommends
Hiw do you determine if the cartridge needs the MC pre pre amp? I see some are high output. Am i correct in assume they would use the MM input and equalisation? 
Replacing Ortofon MC20 looking for some recommends
Ill look those up.I tried a MM in my system but the amp does a real humm on the MM inputs but is dead quiet on the MC circuit. I know i should get an outboard but budget etc.... Thanks all. 
Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD finally
Saw that tour and Ill have to get that disc. if you l;ike Floyd dont miss In the Flesh by Roger Waters. Great production, fantastic sound and the performance is second to none. 
Classe Audio CA400 or Pass Labs X250
I was asking the same question here awhile back. Ended up with a Belles 350a. They have an upgraded version you may also want to look up. A little less power than the Classe but very powerful. 
Mobile Fidelity VS Re-mastered
Ive had MF Lps of DSOM, Crime of the Century and a few others in the past and did find the quality of them was better. I've found the same equalisation problems that Nrchy has founds as well. Jow Walsh Barnstorm on MFSL CD is one where the bass se... 
Blinded by the Lights
thanks ill give those a try. Anyone have idea on what size resistors to start out at? 
Which amp for B&W 703s
For anyone out there looking at gear...I just added a Audible Illusions L-1 pre amp. Sound with the 703s has no high harshness to it when driven loud. Smooth and powerful. Detailed and NO listener fatigue. 
Whats the krell sound?
Nevre did hear the krell sound. Ened up with a Belles 350a and an Audible Illusions L-1 pre-amp. Great detail, bass is balanced and nice clarity. Great setup for loud listening and sounds great at lower volumes. Im happy. 
Considering a 'new' 200w amp. MF, krell or?
Update..ie who cares but ened up with a Belles 350a and now addded an Audible Illusions L-1. Nice tubeish sound and kicks for rock music. 
Deep Purple Remasters: Machine head/Live in Japan
I have a copy of Machine Head with a remastered disk and one remixed by Roger Glover. The quality on this Rhino release is very good. Also includes a few other tracks not on the original and Quadrophonc mixes for Maybe Im a Leo and Lazy.
