More Dumb "Classical" Stereotypes
vivaldi, la primavera (spring), from the four seasons is one of the most uplifting pieces of music i know. for relaxation, i prefer adagios; e.g., albioni giazotto, adagio in g minor ( cisco has a marvelous version with gary carr on cello and harm... 
Treating speaker cones
dcaudio: i think the liquid you're thinking of is glycerin. it's at least worth trying. could be your speakers have been in a coastal environment all those years. -kelly 
Silver or copper cables?
stevemj: gee, thanx for your recocognition of the importance of manners. sorry, but it is you who have nothing valid to say. and, gosh, if i called you a whore inappropriately, i do, i do, most sincerely apologize. guess i shoulda said you're a pi... 
Silver or copper cables?
hey, i think i figured it out. stevemj is justa another whore for star sounds (sistrum/acoustic points). perhaps they're about ("aboot" in canadian) to announce a "wireless" connection system that'll outdo zipcord to a scientifically significant d... 
Speaker Fetish
guys & gals: ya' know it's a lot cheaper if your collection compulsion involves software rather than hardware. me, i have about 5k lp's and 1.3+k cd's. roughly 400 lp's (mostly mfsl's and other "audiophile" albums) and 100 cd's (nearly all pro... 
FIM silver speaker cables
dkuipers: i find nothing objectionable about the "construction quailty" of fim cables. they are somewhat similar to the tara "the one" in constuction, tho the fim stuff is MUCH stiffer. i recommend having two people install the speaker cables to a... 
FIM silver speaker cables
i have had on audition for the past 2 weeks a pair of fim silver cables, connecting avalon eidolons to a jrdg 8ti. i am also trying matching power cords on the amp and my accuphase dc 330 pre/dac. the cables are a revelation. they do everything th... 
Silver or copper cables?

Which amp is better for monitors....

Granite Under Speakers Over A Wood Floor
Robert C. Maicks: as ceo of star sound technologies, llc, you must get to pick the company's theme song, eh? i'd suggest you listen to track 4 of mark knopfler's latest cd, "sailing to philadelphia." just so you don't hafta look it up your busy li... 
Best SACD player?
cw: IMO, the best "hard core audiophile" sacd player is the transport/dac combo made by accuphase (models DP-100 and DC-101). unfortunately, accuphase has yet to reduce the msrp on this pair from $28k (in the usa). nor would i expect them to do so... 
Granite Under Speakers Over A Wood Floor
robert: this one's for you.a sargent, returning from a scouting party, gallops breathlessly into general custer's encampment at little big horn. he announces,"general, i've got some good news ands some bad news." the general replies,"well, i guess... 
Granite Under Speakers Over A Wood Floor
brulee: thanks, i read the post to which you referred. sorry, but i find it objectionable for an "anonymous" manufacturer to post what appear to be testimonials from end users, such as the one on this thread. these posts are, in fact, free "commer...
