Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Moto: Because it does not sound the same. I have already experimented with the OTA plastic RCA's and (26) gage solid core silver and copper "quality wire" from other sources and cannot achieve the sound of this cable. I came up with one set of IC'... 
PC Challenge Test Results
Jhunter: You are so transparent (if you want to audition the NBS PC's next, just give them a call:-).

OOOPS: I just found my notes on the PSB's and they retail for over $1K (I had thought that they sold for half of that). 
Carl hears through Diamond
Carl: "The Monkees" are not really considered to be R&R (please try something else this year:-). 
Corner hanging speakers - okay? Weird?
Jim: I tried to locate the info, but could not find it. The guy had the whole setup worked out to a "T". It could look pretty nice depending on the color of the grill cloth and the room.

Castle Acoustics makes a stand mounter, the Richmond, which I feel is an improvement over the the B&W speakers. Much more refined and the wood veneer cabinets are very attractive. They also have a big sound. They retail for $500, but are often... 
Corner hanging speakers - okay? Weird?
Jim: I read about someone doing this with the small Maggie's with good results (Maybe at AA). 
MBL 321 Mini Monitor help
Soup: There are instructions available at Decware.com for building a small pair of planer speakers (they are mainly for use as computer speakers, but the designer has also tried them in other applications). They are said to sound amazing. Should b... 
What does State of the Art mean to you?
Hi Lorne: SOTA is whatever sounds best, to me. As mentioneed in the previous thread (not my original idea) is that the best sound is not only personal, but is also the sum of all parts (which in our case, headphones aside, includes the room as wel... 
Any DIYer s out there ?
Grungle: Buried somewhere at Audioasylum are posts on a DIY noise reduction device that plugs into any electical outlet (kind of the same principal as the Blue Circle thing I think). Boy, I hope that Kublakhann does not read this post and get any ... 
Corner hanging speakers - okay? Weird?
Kubla: Just get out the old throne and dust it off, should solve the problem. Seriously though, I have tried similar placement with Braun mini speakers, remember those (pre ADS) and it sounded weird in rooms with low ceilings and better in rooms w... 
Power cords - snake oil?
Ken: The Cable Company offers this service on the cables/cords that they carry. I would ask Brian at BMI directly about his products as I am pretty sure that they are still sold direct. Other than a local shop or the Cable Company you will just ha...

Comchenry: Keep it up. The pads are a drop in the bucket. 
Power cords - snake oil?
Ditto on Snookers advice. There is plenty of info to go on and very little to add other than new products as they pop up, reviews by new owners and questions to the already existing threads. As to why you would add them to a system, I think that t... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Redkiwi: I logged 300+ hours on my set, but it was easy because I used a SS amp for 200+ hours of it. No way would I have been able to do that with the tube amp alone in such as short time. I am glad to hear that they have worked out for both appl...
