Digital Cable for 47 Labs Shigaraki Transport/Dac?
Viggen:I do not think that the Mapleshade Double Helix digital cable is the same as their Double Helix analog cable.I'm not certain of the difference, but one thing I noticed is that it sounds "wrong" if it is not connected in the suggested direct... 
Has anyone heard the 47 labs Shigaraki DAC?
Kforton:This is the first I have heard of this tweak. What specific type of "paint" is used. I might want to try this on the 8" OTA cables that connect my phono preamps. If I don't care for it I can always snip another 8" off my speaker cables and... 
Digital Cable for 47 Labs Shigaraki Transport/Dac?
Holman: I do not use 47 Labs electronics (no longer use a DAC either), but when I used the 47 Labs cable (as a digital cable) between my player and a BC 1.1 DAC I found the Mapleshade digital IC to be close in sound to the 47 Labs cable.I did slig... 
What are your favorite audio links?
Can't imagine how Tok left this one out:mulletsgalore.comA truly hair raizing/cutting edge site. 
Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers?
I prefer DK playing "Down the Street". 
Musical Heritage Society LP's
Buy them if they are in good condition. I picked up 100, or so, early MHS LP's, on the cheap, and enjoy them very much.That said, I can purchase mint copies all day long, in my area, for 50 cents to $1 each, so don't pay too much.I purchased the b...

Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase
Hi Bruce:I decided to go with the Endangered Species MkIV (nucular powered, but of course:-).Your memory really is slipping old boy as I have my face lifted every Wednesday. Thursday would be super though.Chow for now. 
Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase
Absolutely not. I'm far too rich, famous and extremely sexy to bother with such matters. 
what are your favorite movie soundtracks.
I think that this is a compilation CD, but it is one of my favorites."The Masterworks of Satyajit Ray" on the Angel label.My wife gave it to me on my B-Day and found it online (it's a CD). I have probably played it twenty times in the past few weeks. 
Power Conditioning for a mid-fi system.
Sugarbrie:Have you used the HTS2000 in your system? I have had very good results using two of them for the past three years.So far I have been able to try the HTS1000/2500 & 3500 models (which I did not care for), but the HTS2000 is an excepti... 
need ideas to raise speaker stands
If the spikes are adjustable tilt the front of the stands up a fraction of an inch. A minute rise (@ the front of the stands) makes a big difference in the firing angle @ 8-12 feet away.Material, like Paul suggests, (not the roller blades:-) might... 
Whats the BEST audio site :

SURPRISE This is a pretty dang good LP
A white vinyl 45 rpm 10" single of India Arie singing "Strength, Courage and Wisdom". It has "the gap" (clothing company) logo on one side and her picture on the blank/flip side (manufactured by Neverstop records). 
Is there a cable that can warm up my sound?
Match:Something may be off with the DAC. I have owned the 1.0 and 1.1 versions and neither could be considered bright sounding (compared to anything else that I have heard, just the opposite).I am also familar with your speakers and they are not t...
