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

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 ... 
Best Male Singers of the 20th Century
PS: I would like to add Tom Waits to the above list (though I always feel a little greasy while listening to him). I must be remembering his appearence on the Dinah Shore show. 
Best Male Singers of the 20th Century
Frank Sinatra, Billy Eckstine, Harry Neilsen, Buck Owens (in his later years) and to me Pete Townshend singing Daultry's parts (as he has been doing recently). The best voice to me is one that moves me
