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. 
Forget Expensive Gel Absorbers
Then I hope that the project didn't take more than an hour or so. LOL.

David: Did the hot glue hurt more than when you stepped barefoot on the Aleph? Also, are you related to Kublakahn in any way?

Thanks: I found the site. I don't usually do mags myself, but do like the variety of items that I see in their review section. I will forward the info to some older friends who love mags but who don't care much for the web.

Mhubbard: Do you also find yourself checking out the houseware sections of super markets and the toy sections of five and dimes (if you happen to be in them) for tweaks? I do, I will admit it. Art stores are also a great place to cruise. I have ev... 
Does EVERY component need break-in?
I feel that most everything changes with break in. Part of this could also be (in this case) from just having the unit powered up continuously for 3-4 days. I recently finished breaking in a Bel Canto DAC after it received the 1.1 upgrade and the ...

Ebarker: I cannot bring up the website. Is there more to the web address? 
Tube Friendly Speakers
You might want to try and audition the Soliloquy 5.3's and the Silverline Sonatina's. Both have kind impedence curves and should give your push/pull amps a break. I listened to them at different dealers, so I cannot really compare the two, but bot...

Chazzbo: Do a search under both "isolation" and "platforms". I suspect from the length of these threads that some of the members had groups of monks helping them out with the posting. 
Break in period for power conditioners ?
There is a break in period for each "individual" outlet as well as the whole unit. I have noticed the same thing when replacing the A/C wall outlets that I use for audio. I own two of the HTS-2000's and from memory think that it took approx. 72 ho...
