Anyone Heard the new Powersnakes?
Yes! I finally got 2 Vipers v2 for my Pass Monoblocks. I am thrilled with the sound right out of the box, and they are supposed to get better with break in. Email me if you want the number of a guy who can get you a great deal. ejlif@sunset.net 
How Good are the Analysis Plus speaker c
Looks like I'm in the minority here. I had high hopes for the Silver Oval speaker cable, I have compared directly to AQ Clear and HT Pro 9. I found the Siver Oval to be to laid back for my taste, however the soundstage was the best I'd heard. I ov...

Cheap Tweeks
Discsolution!!!! Spray it on, wipe it off. The diff is huge, and a bottle only costs 25.00 and will treat 100s of CDs. Available from Audionut.com

Nhorton- Weird Audiogon doesn't allow me to list Anthony's website. Email me direct and I will give it to you. ejlif@sunset.net 
Power Cords
Nhorton- Anthony is a dealer I found him when I ran a wanted ad. I got a better price on new stuff from him than I could get buying used. I own the PS Audio Power Plant P300 and I also have the Powersnakes King Cobra for my CD player. Personally ...

You could get into the Powersnakes Black Mamba or the new Powersnakes Viper even for what you are willing to spend. I had some Harmonic Tech AC 11s for my Pass amps and I found that the stock cords sounded better, if you have a bright system the H... 
Best Cd Player for $2000 used
My vote is for the Meridian 508.24 (if you are going to be using a preamp, otherwise it sounds like the Resolution Audio player would be great) There is no way that the 506.20 sounds better than the 508.24, I have heard both head to head and the 5... 
Anyone Heard the new Powersnakes?
I have ordered 2 vipers for my mono amps. I talked with Caelin at Powersnakes and his description indicates that for instance the Viper is quite a diffrent sound than the Black Mamba. The BM is more forgiving and moves the soundstage farther back,... 
Opinions on the Vibraplane
5k no way. The active model with the built in compressor costs 5k. The one I'm looking at is more like 1200.00. It differs from the Bright Star, which I have tried and don't particularly like under digital. They seem to work OK for me under amps t... 
Is SACD really this lousy?
David, it is definitely true that you are missing out on some great music that simply isn't availible on vinyl. I had a chance to hear a 30k analog system, and it sounded awesome, only problem was the music sucked. 
Best Male Singers of the 20th Century
Definitely IMO the prophet Edward Kaspel from The Legendary Pink Dots. Has anyone here ever heard him? 
Dream System. Spectral or Levinson.
If I were you I would check out the Pipe Dreams. If I was able to spend that much they would be the first on my list. Read the review in Absolute Sound. 
Best CDR ?
The Tascam CDRW 5000 retails for 1299.00 and can be had at discount for less than 1000.00
