Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions
My copy just showed up yesterday and I ordered later on, so the others should be showing up shortly. Now having listened to the CD 6 times, I like it. It is just a departure from the open mike live sound of their other albums and does not favor th... 
Have Rogue Monoblocks, now what?
What tube types does the PV5 use and what is now installed in the unit? This may be a better first step depending on what's in there tube wise now. 
Best 10 speaker cable for 250 ??
I auditioned the CAT 5 DIY cables (168 strands or something like that) and still felt that the inexpensive Kimber 4VS ($3/ft) bettered them in all areas. I have been very curious about the Mapleshade Double Helix cables which fit your budget and h... 
Who is the sexiest female vocalist?
Nico (and not because she is dead). 
Website leaking oil?
It would make sense to base them (the fees) on what Ebay currently charges. I find the scale that Ebay uses to be more than reasonable for the service provided. 
Looking to Buy My First CD Transport
Gunbei: I hate to bring this up, but a used Sony 9000ES SACD player is in your price range. Can anyone rate its performance as a transport? I know that Albert Porter has one, but do not know if he has tried it with an external DAC. I can only cons... 
I opened both MIT and Transparent netwks
Ralph's Markets (in CA) has their own private label hard skinned dogs which are killer. I consumed three of them last night and now need to lay low on the sodium for a couple of days, but it was worth it. 
kontact kleaner
Kontak is also available from Audioadvisor.com for $39.95 pus $6.95 s/h with a ten day backorder. I have never gotten around to ordering a bottle, but would like to try it as well. I like Galen Carol's website though and may order from them instead. 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
The kit will be arriving later this week and I will let you know how stupid you are when I install it and give it a run (sorry you really need to know this). Brulee will also be using the wire and should be able to give you an idea of how it actua... 
For You: THE most imprortant element...

Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions
I like the new CD on a whole, but do not care for the voice mix and wish that they would have taken the time and energy for "open air" recording as has been done in the past. Hopefully this was just an experiment and will not set a standard for th... 
How do people dust their systems?
I ususally just slide one of the cats across the surface that needs dusted. If one isn't available I use one of my eyeglass cloths (which are also anti static). I use the cloths on my CD's as well.

Whay length runs do you require as this determines the cost? 
Good In-Wall Speakers?
If Linn still makes their in wall speakers, they are well worth a listen (think they retailed for around $600/pair). I was looking for the Linn "panel" flat wall speaker a while back, but they had been discoed, listened to the in wall speaker inst... 
Power Cord for which COMPONENTS????
I get more bang for the buck on my digital components (player and DAC), but it will depend upon your equipment and how good or bad your power supply is. One of my amps (with a tiny little power supply) is very impartial as to what cord powers it a...
