Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables
I think everybody has a different definition of what Shotgun, Bi-wiring, true Bi-wiring etc... 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
I forgot to let you know that I've been using a cable cooker to burn in the IC's. After a few days with the cable cooker, they calmed down a bit. I hook the IC's up to the cable cooker every day. If you have some friends with one, definitely use one. 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Brulee, the VD reference cables that I've got still have lots of breaking in to do also. I've only had them for a little while, so they're not really there yet. I noticed that Rick's power cords did take some time to break in, and the same seems t...

JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash?
Mzn50, I also bought an XRCD2 Sampler disc from http://www.a4audio.com/home.asp. The prices are half decent and I like that they are in Canada so I don't have to pay huge at the border. Although they do cost way more that other cd's.. Thanks for t...

Recording levels on CD-R/Distortion
Hmmmmm... That sounds like a real hassle to be fidgeting around with the recording volume while recording a cd. Most new ones come with automatic volume control to make all tracks the same volume. Manually playing with the recording volume control... 
What is the best tube integrated amp with remote
Bob, definitely buy the Rogue Magnum Tempest on this site if it's still available. I bought it and I replaced the 12AX7 and 12AU7 to Mullard and Phillip NOS tubes respectfully. I am driving pseudo efficient speakers (88db, 4ohm/8ohm). My bass modu... 
Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables
Sean I think you've got it. Shotgun configuration is simply two wires that end with one termination. So for my Red terminal on my right speaker I have ONE run of Shotgunned cables and the same for the black. So I have 4 cables per speaker. I've no... 
List of Unlabeled HDCD's
Hmmm.... Are you sure the list is complete? Bob was saying that some weren't included in that list. 
monitor or floorstander?
That's a tough one. Full range offers so much more than monitors.. But then again there are some monitors that are just as good as any floor stander. Rear-porting should be avoided, the only thing I can recommend is to try out a few different comb... 
JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash?
You know what would be great?? An XRCD encoded in HDCD... That would be neat
