What's your profession? Age?
Hi, I'm 37 and retired commodities broker. In fact I'm writing you via satellite from my yacht anchored in the mediterranean. I paid only $3000 for my system, but it sounds like $300,000. That's right! That is not a typo! I'll bet your wondering h... 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
You guys should have left well enough alone. You almost had me going until you decided to roll ol' yourmama out. So, yourmama, how many of those cords you got stacked up in your garage? Fishy? I'm chokin' to death from all the fumes. Hey Krjr, wha... 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
I can't figure it out either. What possessed you to even try it? Especially with those goods. Must've been an act of sheer desperation. Thank you for the report though. I remember the last time I made a change that was ultra-significant, I wanted ... 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
Damn! that is a decent rig you got there. Its gotta be some cord if you plug it up to that mess o' goodies. Now we're getting somewhere. Tell us all you know about the cord. 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
BBBBuuuuusssttteeeeeddddd. But maybe not, let's hear more about the absolutely amazing magical mystery cable. Though at this point I must admit I am now more 'intrigued' to see if you can pull this off without stinkin' up the joint. 
Awsome Remote??
Thooooose people are clearly much different than me. 
Awsome Remote??
See www.remotecentral.com. This site is THE resource for remotes and covers just about any one. Also see audioreview.com to read the fanatical testimonials pronto owners have left. They've figured out how to make the things do anything remote like... 
1 track digital demo. What do you pick?
I was converted by some bastard who played the Cowboy Junkies, 'Lay it Down', CD. He is no longer my friend, and is still unforgiven for opening the hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes. Mine is the Jam, Disk Two of the Polydor Box set, tr... 
I don,t Understand ????
Tswhitsel, that was a beautiful essay. I think and hope you are right. If so, it solves alot of problems for me. I have printed this out and pinned it up near my computer. Any time I am tempted from now on, to venture forth on another 'cablequest'... 
Best Amp/Pre-amp Combo for 1500
Best combo for $1500 could be secondhand McCormack DNA-1 or DNA-.5 amps and the TLC-1 or get lucky ALD-1 pre. Nondeluxe DNA-1's are going for $800 somehow, and saw a deluxe .5 for right around there recently. That leaves $700 to find a McCormack p... 
Sony STR-DA777ES to Pre/Pro?
Argent, see the recent thread 'Best Stand Alone Processor'. Though the person posting that thread did not get his question answered, I think it may be a good start for you. I would write again, but am pooped at present. I will say there are a bunc...

Sdcampbell, i agree with your suggestions in that price range. Excellent work. I know this is not my thread, But am curious about the Bryston you mention. I know it is relatively new in the field and as such not too much info. on it. Could you enl... 
Greatest sonic impact: cables or ICs
Speaker cables. I run the biOval 9's, but understand HTech is darn nice too. Rather than duplicate my thoughts on this subject here, check out the thread covering much the same ground entitled "Please help-speaker cables, interconnects" started al... 
Please help-cables, interconnects?
I third the oval 9's, but am sure the speaker cables albertporter mention are all great too. There are about 300 he did not mention but could have. I have no idea if these are even a possibility for the equipment you mention. In any case, I say st...
