Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts?
Sometimes, it helps to be a little nuts to thoroughly enjoy life and others. This goes well beyond the scope of these forums. 
Music to make you laugh by
Anything performed by "The 101 Strings". Funnier than a good standup comic and more camp than a John Waters production. They put Muzak to shame in this particular venue. 
Digital transmission cables
If you are not hung up on price, I would recommend that you give the Mapleshade Double Helix digital IC a try for its natural presentation. If I had a larger budget I would have auditioned one of the IC's from Vantage Audio, but did not wish to wa... 
Tight Bass
Room acoustics have a profound impact on live music as well. Having played music quite a bit in my younger years, the majority of our sound check time was spent fine tuning the low frequencies (bass and drums) and this was the same when recording ... 
where can i find hospital grade IEC plug
Dark: Have you run across a P&S male IEC plug? I need a couple of male plugs for a project. 
I like my Absolute Power Cords
And the other Absolute has such a wonderful ad campaign. I am breaking in one of the cords right now and will post at a later date (after we've done it:-). As usual Pete beat me to it. 
Bi-Wire or Double Run of Single Wire ???
Try them first and then sell them for something different, you will feel better about it then. LOL. 
Bi-Wire or Double Run of Single Wire ???
I do not think that it makes any difference. I have used bare wire twisted together as one at the amp (for a shotgun setup) as well as bare wire plus bananas (the bananas on the low end). I thought that I could hear a difference when the bananas w... 
I opened both MIT and Transparent netwks
Richard: Were they done Memphis style or were they dripping with sauce? 
Modification of speaker cables
I have always been a bare wire advocate, but am getting tired of re-dressing the ends of my cables when they become damaged from being taken on and off when auditioning other wire and during other general experimentation (which includes cleaning t... 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
I just want to try the cords (still waiting for delivery). I thought of another application for one yesterday (on the new Pioneer CD burner). I just have to order the HT IEC converter plug mentioned in another thread and wonder if an upgraded PC w... 
Best component ever for the ...
Bluenose: Try caramel ice-cream as an adhesive. It is sticky as hell, dries hard but pliant and can always be washed away with lots of hot water. My wife loves the stuff and I have bent spoons trying to remove them from bowls that have been settin... 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
Dkarmeli: It's defamation, not deformation, even Under Dog knows that. 
Best Movie Soundtrack
I finally located a copy of "Diva" and it is every bit as good as I remembered. Still searching for a copy of "Black Orpheus". 
Any DIYer s out there ?
Sean: I am in a weak kind of way. My current interest is retro-fitting male IEC plugs to my HTS2000 power conditioners and as of today (due to an informative email from another member) also upgrading the power outlets in the unit (the ones that I ...
