Soundstage wider than speaker placement?
Avguygeorge: No I have never heard of Brooks Berdan, but will make note of it. I am really keen on the thrift shops in and around Monrovia and may be able to convince my wife to make the drive with me. My room is also horseshoe shaped with the spe... 
Wall socket change
Husaskin: You may also want to check out the "Best upgrade I ever made" thread of 01/11/01 in regard to quieting conditioners for your front end gear. I also live in an apartment and am considering this along with using two different circuts (not ... 
speakers for symphony at minimum budget?
Magnepans have always been one of my favorites for classical music, though I am not familiar with their recent models. I used to like the sound of them off axis, which is nice if you listen around or out of the room as in a "household full of musi... 
Soundstage wider than speaker placement?
My setup produces a sound stage that is wider than the speakers on almost all of the source material that I own. The only exception that I can think of it an old Nat King Cole CD. The gear is not expensive but the speaker placement is a little dif...

Khrys: Aren't you a girl, female - lady? No offense either way. I had assumed that you were but sometimes see you referred to as a guy.

Retro: In regard to how long does it take to assess a piece of gear, I consider myself to be a "quick study" and I assume that many others are as well. I am also not an audiophile by any means. I spent 30 years listening to and playing live music ... 
The best upgrade I ever made!
Sean: would you share the source and/or makes of other small "source" isolation transformers. I have a linen closet just below the breaker box that would be able to contain an additional transformer if it were properly encased and shielded, though... 
Footers/Shelf Material
Hi Brulee: I do not have clearence for the Mapleshade footers. However I did find out what was destroying the sound this morning in the daylight. The heavy power cord to my player/transport had wedged itself against the wall and was not hanging fr... 
Footers/Shelf Material
Redkiwi: What is the URL of the Parts Connection? I am trying out the Mapleshade Surefoot brass cones with my various electronics (DAC, CD player, amp) and have yet to get a good sound out of them. I am using them in combination with platforms of ...

Which SILVER cables sound best?
Once again, I use the Homegrown Super Silvers as analog IC's in my system and they have plentiful bass, detail and are smooth instead of being bright. They also balance very nicely and have done so with the past two sets of speakers that I have us...
