A most unlikely cable convert
Hi Trelja, great story. This proves your Dad can hear the difference in different cable and that he has an open mind. If Stevem does read this it will make no difference to him at all. His mind may be open but it's from a gaping wound. 
How did U get into this expensive hobby?
In the late 70s I was shopping at Pacific stereo (I think that was the name) looking for a TT. I met a man and his wife that introduced me to the hi end equipment and some hi end dealers. To make a long story short this man put togeather a modest ... 
Speaker wire is it science or psychology
Redkiwi, excellent post. You speak for me and I am sure there are many more who agree word for word with you. Like Detlof, I wish I had written it. 
Best Integrated Amp
Hi Bigcigarman, A good friend of mine is an audio dealer that has Goldmund and also Gryphon. The Gryphon integrated IMO was better than the Goldmund integrated and not by a small margin. I have had both in my system and neither one performed as we... 
FIM Gold Power Cords Problems?
Hi Stevedepp, I also scored negitaves for my post on this thread. I guess someone is fealing powerful or they don't like FIM. Shows how silly this voting can be. 
Amp suggestion for Legacy Focus
Hi Joysjane, Sean has given you excellent advice as he always does but I would like to add that the Marsh 400 is not warm and full more like clean and a bit lean. A very good amp but may be a bit cool for your system. Good luck to you. 
FIM silver speaker cables
Hi Cantor, I also use FIM gold cables and have not heard anything better with my SET amp. Have not heard the silver but was told it is close to the gold. I agree with Cornfedboy about the construction of this incredible sounding stiff as lead cable. 
FIM Gold Power Cords Problems?
Hi Stevedepp, I agree with Mikeam (how u been Mikeam) I know 2 others that use FIM and have not heard of this problem. As far as stiff this is true and takes a bit of time to hook up but once formed they are not a big hassle. Go for it . I think y... 
Any good suggestions for phono cable?
Stevemj, to appriciate the differences in cable you must first break-in your head. Stick your tongue in a wall socket 5 to 10 times a day for 2 weeks then come back and tell us all if you can now hear a difference. It worked for me. 
Amp suggestion for Legacy Focus
Stevemj, more like your ears are malfunctioning. Your being blissful again. 
cable help ?
Stevemj, maybe audiophiles who are faulty or have faulty systems can't perceive the differences between cables.You must be one of those blissful people. 
Granite Under Speakers Over A Wood Floor
Hi Cornfedboy, On another thread (measuring vibration in equipment)Rcm1960 says he is a manfacturer who produces products that pertain to vibration control. He seemed open and honest but he would rather remain anonymous. 
Best speaker a wife would tolerate
I saw a post by Cornfedboy where he talked of the new Avalon speaker called the Symbol. Very nice looking speaker.Avalonacoustics.com

Hi Telescope, so you took the plunge. Sounds like you made the right decision. Congratulations! 
Krell versus Levinson experience
Hi Jadis, I guess there are quite a few audiophiles who like over priced, over rated, junk. Have you ever owned Thiels? I find it amazing that Thiel has been able to pull the wool over so many owners eyes (ears) for all these years. Please tell me...
