Cable maker Mike Schott in Auburn?
There you go Charlie. Five answers to your question, Guess it's time to end the thread. 
What s in front of your chair?
I like the barber chair idea. Mine (my barber) is just a block away and perhaps I could talk him into cutting my hair in the living room. That way I could listen to music in between snips. In regard to the nose, mine is pretty big and I also have ... 
Pass Aleph-3 questions
David: Other than my lengthy off forum reply, there are certain speaker cables that give a boost to the area of sound that you describe (upper midrange). I have found that some of the lower priced Kimber Kables that I have tried have done this in ... 
What s in front of your chair?
Elwood: Eyeglasses do change the sound considerably (not for the better, IMO). I always take mine off when doing other than casual listening. Think about it, you are creating two areas of reflection two or three inches from the ears (depending on ... 
Perfection?
Tireguy: I have rarely experienced what you describe with music playback and then only with the human voice. Live I have gotten it from odd beats (such as good fifths played on the drums), voice of course and on rare occasions from combinations of... 
Amazing Solo Piano Recordings
Thanks Albert. I don't usually listen to much Jazz, but would love to relive this music. I am listening to a pianist tonight by the name of Evgeny Kissin. I'm on my second time through the disc and he is a very talented. I picked it up used withou... 
Amazing Solo Piano Recordings
I listen to Dudley Moore's "Songs Without Words" for an occasional mellow piano fix. I used to have an album in the 70's called "Keith Jarrett Live at the Blue Note" that I liked (or so I thought), but now wonder if I imagined it (or have confused... 
APC Line R 1250, Is it Hazardous?
This is the reply that I recieved from APC technical support: The Line R is purely a line conditioner. The Line R1250 has a load capacity of 1250 Watts. It's got boost and trim to step up low voltage and trim high voltage. The Line R also does not... 
APC Line R 1250, Is it Hazardous?
Platinum: I went ahead and sent a query to APC based on your info (output specs are not posted at the site on the Line R 1250). I also asked that they confirm that the ouput on the model 700 up is a "pure/true" sine wave output. Thanks. PS: Also n... 
ESP Essence power cord VS. H.T. Pro-11
I have just used (and still use) the HT Pro II PC, not the ESP. They HT sounds different depending on which component it is used on, so what gear are you planning to be using? On a CAL player it controlled and extended the bass lower (it was a lit...

PS: Steven: As far as cable being directional the only conductor that I can conceive of as not being so following run in (another aspect that you probably do not believe in) would be totally symmetrical (perhaps crystalline) in structure. Otherwis... 
APC Line R 1250, Is it Hazardous?
Platinum: Is that the only criterion that I would be looking for (a pure 60HZ sinewave output)? Thanks.

Steven: I apoligize for attacking you personaly, though I do find your posts most irratating. However there is no talking to you because you obviously either have a hearing problem or have not properly auditioned (if at all) the gear/equipment tha... 
Amps and Women
My wife's hearing is much keener than mine at lower SPL's. I do have some hearing damage but it only effects me at extremely low listening levels (I have had it tested off and on since my teens). My wife is not into this hobby but will sometimes c...

Stevenmj: You gave the impression that you were going to give us a break in another of your posts, but I guess not, so it seems. You spout generalities but offer no information on the systems or circumstances of your findings. This is a gear/music...
