Robedk: If they bug you so much, then don't become one of them (on the other side of the fence). This is a natural reaction of course, but get a grip before it happens. My next plan of attack is to add vinyl to a CD based system. The reason for th... 
Digital Support
PS: I just checked your other posts (not on digital) and they are very well written. Hopefully you will get over this digital thing. For the record I do not find either format better than the other (if done well), just different, with digital winn... 
Digital Support
A normal goal (other than that of a troll) would be to figure out how to improve either or both formats within ones system. Not to decide which is best. Well, there goes my Troll Pimp Slap for the day. 
which powercord? jps,esp,shunyata....?
Ken: No, I never did try the EEL cords. My wife told me that "we ain't havin no EEl's in the house honey", and that was the end of the EEL's. Whales have a higher WAF, I think, and I would recommend that BMI's next triumph be called The Dolphin, s... 
FT Audio/ Passive Preamps - Comments?
Thanks for all the input. I may take you up on your offer, Tom. I am electronically ignorant, but do have the assembly skills (I assume that they are still present in my brain and hands anyway). A good thing about DIY (other than the price and per... 
Digital Rules
You are absolutely right! Now go away as there is nothing else to be said. Well, there goes my Troll Hug for the day.

Thanks Dark: I was unable to search AA before, kept getting a message about three characters (not Manny, Moe & Jack) or something like that. 
Speaker Cable for Tube SET System?
Riv3r: I have no experience with the Monster cables, but will suggest that you take a look at the OTA thread (search under OTA at the bottom of the first page of the forums). This is what I am now using and I have no desire to try other cables. It... 
which powercord? jps,esp,shunyata....?
Hi Ken: I use them on a Cal Icon MkII and a Bel Canto DAC. The PC's are very flexible and they twist, so lining up the IEC is a cinch. They require 4"-6" of room to make the bend behind a component. Setup was easy and they do not seem to be too he... 
John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense"
I get by with 26 gage speaker cable, but then again I use low watt bulbs (300B's). 
Help for girlfriend HT speaker system???
Ken: Take a look at the Gallo Acoustics Micro theater system. Five small round orange sized (the fruit) speakers with a powered sub. The speakers come in a variety of colors (including white) if she has white walls and they have wall mounting brac... 
Will Internet Distroy High End ?
Sam, and your doing a bang up job of getting the word across. What you fail to fathom is that people like you who cannot hear the difference between 90% of the components out their (your quote not mine) are a very small minority, which does not in... 
which powercord? jps,esp,shunyata....?
Well, I might as well pile on. I also use two BMI Whales on the digital stuff and since I ran out of money I use an Absolute PC on the SET amp. The Absolute replaced the $200 PC that I was using before and in comparison I do feel that the BMI PC's... 
My latest find. What's yours?
The Quincy Jones-Sammy Nestico Orchestra, "Basie & Beyond". My wife thinks that it sounds like Las Vegas music, but I like it (good players and a nice swing). The copy that I have is an album advance on CD, so I don't have any notes on who the... 
Comments requested - Wadia 831 CD Player
The only thing that I know about it is that it was scheduled to be released a year ago and that's the last I heard about it.
