Best blank CD-R
I have tried quite a few diffrent brands, and I have always thought the TDK 74 minute for computer brand sounded best. I think there is a diffrence between the 74 minute and the 80 minute brands even. I was answered in a similar post a few months ... 
Coincident Cables Experiences? Any Good?
I got a set of the interconnect after all of the hype I was hearing about it. I too think it is a good deal at 300.00, I am however at a loss for understanding how one could hear it as superior to Quattro Fil. In my system Quattro Fil is in every ... 
Dunlavy SC IIs
I think I can be of some use here. I own the Kestrels as well as SCIVs. I listened to SCIIs originaly which is what got me on the Dunlavy kick. I think you would be very disapointed in the bass that the 2s will give you compared to the Kestrels. I... 
Aleph Owners and Users...
I owned the 3 and then got the 2s. Surprisingly the 2s are not that much more powerful than the 3. The bass was fuller, and I could play a bit louder. As far as improvments that's about it. I think that the 3 may edge out the 2s in transparency, t... 
What to listen to. BAT, ARC, VTL
I second the suggestion for BAT VK150 SEs. They are great at everything. I would guess that they would mate especially well with the Vandersteen 5. 
Upgrade Time Again.... please help
I recently upgraded from Pass Aleph 2s to BAT VK150se amps. Your description of wants is word for word how I would describe the performance of these amps, the imaging is especially noteworthy.

Best Ambient Music
Robert Rich and Steve Roach both have a lot of excellent stuff, I especially liked Robert Rich and Alio Die "Fissures" and Oyuki Conjugate "Equator"

you might like Sismon Fischer Turner "Travelcard" 
"Kid A" the new "Dark Side @ Moon" ?
Hey Ben Cambell, wow I'm surprised to see a Susumu Yokota fan on here. I really like that one too. You've got to check out Vladislav Delay "entain" (if you haven't) if you are into ambient. I'd be interested in any stuff you might reccomend to me. 
Help in Interconnect cables
I have recently done quite a few interconnect comparisons and I came away most impressed by a new cable the Silver Marina by Vantage Audio. Vantage is a great deal, about 250.00 for 1m XLR. Best of all they will send it to you and let you try it f... 
Silver I/Cs good match for Planet CDP??
Hi, yes I think silver is your best bet. I have owned a Planet and I found it to be a little laid back, so the transparency of silver should be a great match. I also can recommend a silver cable. Vantage Silver Marina (245.00) factory direct. They... 
help with power cord
I have tried the Harmonic Tech AC 11 and I thought my stock cord sounded better, so did my friend who I lent it to. Synergistic Master Coupler could be had for about 140.00 used, they are pretty good, I own one and felt that it marginally improved... 
Advise on innerconnects
I would say that Coincident interconnects lean to the warm side of nuetral, they are very good for the money. Even better though not as warm, but altogether better are the Vantage Silver Marina. They will send them to you and let you try them for ...
