First song to "Blow You Away"...
Melancholy Man by 'The Moody Blues'Dont ask me why,but the first time I heard this just a few years ago, I was literally frozen with tingles up my spine to my brain.I felt like running into the street and screaming like a madman..I 'am' serious.I ... 
Best sounding cd in your collection
"Echoes" The Best Of Pink Floyd 2 CD Japanese import.The older material with Sid sounds stunning.Many of my CD's and SACD's are not far behind.Digital sure has come a long ways.I could not have said that 5-6 years ago. 
Blown Threshold S/300 Stasis II
Hi all,Safeharbor,I never said the S/300 wasnt a very good amp.I bought Thiel 3.5's @ 4ohm 86-88dB?and started out with a Electrocompainet Amp Wire 75 to drive these power hungry speakers.The AW-75 did a decent job of driving them with 96 peak amp... 
ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them?
I did extensive research concerning the best way (sonically) to use the anti-cables.This is what i decided to do.I bought clear,3/4" flexible hose and cut 1/4" inch wide and 1" wide rings.I fed the anti-cables through the rings and snapped the 1" ... 
Blown Threshold S/300 Stasis II
I forgot all about this old thread.I replaced 2 rail fuses and the Threshold was in action again.safeharbor,the S/300 isnt a 'masterpiece' amp.I bought a asw-3000 B&W sub and with my curcio modded Dynaco amp there's no comparison.The Threshold...

W and M Audio Speaker cable and Interconnects
Hey Tubby-Its been quite some time since you won your cables.Have you had a chance to listen to them yet instead of just look at them?I'd like to hear how they sound please. 
W and M Interconnects
There is another thread spreading the word on W and M.The author of the other thread hasnt had the time to listen to his either.Both this and the other thread look quite similar in layout.Do I smell something here? 
Preamp suggestions for Rogue M150
99 magnum.If you are into vinyl,keep what you have for a phono stage.I'd buy the line-stage only.It takes 4 6SN7's but only 2 of the tube positions are critical.You can get away with buying only 2 killer 6SN7's. 
Your Private Audio Museum
Hi CW-I would add some to my existing rig just for static display.Or maybe place a nice table in the vicinity of your rig with a couple amps (tube) on it.I bought some real nice steel shelves I mounted on my listening room wall about 14" down from...
