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... 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
Krjr: So tell us more about it, we are all ears. Do they have a website? 
What's your profession? Age?
Well, I'm 46 years old (would be 47 but I was sick a year) and I feel good about myself and I am currently unemployed. There, that wasn't so hard. 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
Krjr: Never heard of Absolute (cords that is). Do you have any info on them yourself to share? Are they as effective as let's say the Walker HDL's? What type of system did you just purge with them? 
Is there an SACD that can play cds well?
Albert, that is quite a statement about the 9000ES. I must have missed your feedback on it before. I have only listened to the 777 model which was not run in at the time, and did not sound very good to me. I cannot use a top loader anyway, even wi... 
Help out a Young Audiophile
Perhaps you could take the jobs that "Tim the Tireguy" is not up for. 
I don,t Understand ????
It was a nice offer, unlike many other companies that will defend their right to be wrong to the bitter end. Audio Note, UK recently dropped the price of Black Gate capacitors which then initiated a stir as to whether the line was being discontinu... 
Tubes for modulus 3A ?
Monk: Very intersting. I will look into the 7dj8's as well. I almost made the mistake of giving our friend some of my Amperex 6922's, but fortunately searched AA before doing so. I will see if I can use the 7dj8 in my amp as well. I enjoy trying o...
