Is "Gost Riders in the Sky" sung by Miss Peggy Lee good C&W? This song has been a fix of mine since I was a little kid. I recently was able to pick it up on CD. Now all that I need are ten more box tops from Borax soap to get my twenty wagon m...

Where do you purchase sorbahane and what form/shapes does it come in? I have seen it mentioned in other threads, but only recall seeing some little half sphere footers of sort that I think were made out of this substance. I would like to try it ou... 
Best Integrated amp under 1k
I have a Musical Fidelity X-A1 that has a wonderful midrange, smooth and grainless highs and a refined and detailed bass response that balances well with the music (especially if you are using mini monitors that have a peak in the mid bass as many... 
Mapleshade and Maple Audio Cables
I ordered the MS cords but have not yet received them (I was told 2-3 weeks). From the photos the wire itself looks standard size, however the insulation is again of the "Slim Jim" wrapper variety (like plastic sandwich bag material) which will he...

I wish that they had "micro" power cords as well. My DAC just fell over again from the weight of the PC. David 
Mapleshade and Maple Audio Cables
Hi Sean: I haven't read much literature on the IC's, but if they claim to reduce skin effect then they probably have by reducing the surface area (I have to put on my reading glasses to see this micro wire) and as small as they are the LF response...

Mapleshade and Maple Audio Cables
I am using the Mapleshade Double Helix digital cable with a Bel Canto DAC and enjoy it's clear, neutral & detailed yet muscial sound. I just tried another silver IC in its place today and even the silver sounded muted and cloudy in comparison.... 
What to upgrade first?
SCMCA: I have a pair of Castle Acoustic's Isis speakers listed for sale that are well within your budget, they are very good for your source material and I feel that the reviews are fairly accurate. Review sources of the speakers are listed in the... 
A Tombstone in the Living room????
Is anyone using any special type of footer under these stones? If not what is the stone itself resting on or more importantly does it seem to make a difference? I have not tried stone, I have a large 1" thick piece of marble but have heard that it... 
Will there be stereos in Heaven? Cables?
I would like to think that there would be an endless supply of NOS tubes, or perhaps we will get a second chance to plug in all of those Amperex, Telefunken, and Mullard's that we tossed in the 60's and 70's when only 20% of their life had burned ... 
Will there be stereos in Heaven? Cables?
Well, we are a mixed household as far as religion goes. I'm sure that my wife will let me listen to her stereo in heaven:-) 
Will there be stereos in Heaven? Cables?
Yes Mark;-)
