SHUNYATA BLK MAMBA or WHALE ELITE?
Hi Jay: Part of my system (the Audion Silver Night 300B) is at the shop, so I am breaking one of the cords in on the computer and the other on my DAC which is the only piece of gear that I could easily fit the cord to with my current setup (soon b... 
Best speakers for classical music 2k ?
"There", again. 
Best speakers for classical music 2k ?
I owned a pair of Castle Acoustics Isis speakers that worked very well with classical music (I preferred them to my old Rogers Ls3/5a's). They are UK based and you may want to check out their larger floorstanding speakers. Their is such a model re... 
best interconnect for less than 100???
I use and have used the HT Truthlinks, Homegrown Audio Super Silver and Mapleshade (I use their digital IC, not the analog ones)and would recommend any of them. If you are looking for a more dynamic and detailed sound the Homegrowns are nice, for ... 
JM REYNAUD MKII-VS-COINCIDENT TRIUMPH
Alfed: I auditioned the Twins and the Triumph's both in shops and at home and opted for the Twin's. It was a very difficult choice to make as I liked them both (and wanted them both). The Twin's have a little fuller sound (though I felt that the T... 
Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"?
The noise on the first song just sounds like a wide angle mike to me, which should be prevailent on any copy unless it has been filtered out of the mix. I am not familiar with any Gold CD's are we talking MFSL? 
Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"?
Metaphysics: My CD copy is labeled 8568-2-R (maybe a second run) and sounds as good as any of my other CJ's CD's with the exception of a 4 track live demo that sounds better than the rest of them to me (cruder but better). 
Which flat spkr. cable to use
Snooker: I at one point ran two pairs of cables (for bi-amping) across the threshold of a door that has heavy traffic. We have plaster/cement floors with acrylic carpeting covered by rugs. I built a channel box out of wood and brass screws and rou... 
Odd Power Cord--Recommendations?
I have read of somone who makes a quality upgrade cord in this design. Try checking at Audio Asylum in the cable forum. I can't imagine what you would search under, so maybe just make a new post after trying. 
Tubes for modulus 3A ?
Yes, ATSI has a web site that you can order online from - http://tubeman.com/index.htm - I just paid with a credit card. The super low noise versions were on special when I first purchased them, but are now $45/mp. I have ordered three times from ... 
Am I Nuts or What?
Justlisten: Whatever sounds best. I preferred a jumper made of Kimber Kable and single wiring to biwiring on my old setup. In this case the stock jumper bars were the worst sound of the three. My new speakers only allow single wiring which frees u... 
Area 51 Cables and Interconnects
I heard that Bud Hopkins and Whitley Schreiber already have then installed in their systems. The first reports though are of PRAT or "missing time" problems. 
Best audio racks
Nice info to have Kitch (I spent 15 years in the design industry and never bothered to research one of my favorite aquisitions). Mine is missing a few of the brass plates and shows pretty much normal wear for its age (however with some light damag... 
To tone control or not to tone control
Artemus: I have never used the unit, but had talked to MegaSam awhile back about one that he was selling. I seem to recall that it had four seperate crossover/turnover points (I may be wrong on this) and that what it did well was to tailor the hig... 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
Krjr: I had looked at the add (any true American potlicker couldn't miss it), but the name did not hit home. The price is what scared me away (and I use Mapleshade and Homegrown Adio IC's). If it's that dammed good then they are going to have to c...
