Analysis Plus or Harmonic Teck
I own both HT Pro 9 (double run) and AP Silver Oval. After a lengthy audition of both I settled with the HT, I'm not sure however that this is necesarily that good either. The AP is state of the art in soundstage width and depth, I was absolutely ... 
Bi-wire cable versus 2 sets of cable
I agree that biwiring is definately better. I even noticed definite improvement in biwiring speakers with only one tap. I have experimented with double runs, and single biwire runs, but never with the same cable in both versions. I ended up going ... 
CD Copies...why do they sound worse?
To Jmac48 where can the Apogee CDs be purchased from. Thanks, Ryan 
CD Copies...why do they sound worse?
I feel so strongly about the improvement in CDRs over the original that I have sent both the original and the duplicate copy to a friend who of all I know is the most involved and educated person in hifi. I will post his findings on this subject w... 
Silversmith Audio
I have a buddy who is way high end and he recently got 2 sets (biwire) of the speaker cable and a run of the balanced interconnect. He actually called me at work on my cell phone to sing the praises of these cables. He says that it is a whole lot ... 
Best matching speaker for Alepha 3.
I have used the Aleph 3 with both Meadowlark Kestrels and Dunlavy SCIVs both work fine, you can't however play VERY LOUD with either, but the awesome sound of the Aleph 3 makes up for the low power. If you are on a budget I believe that the Kestre... 
CD Copies...why do they sound worse?
How can this possibly confuse you. The sound of the recorded CDR played back on the same CD player sounds better than the sound of the original CD that the CDR was recorded on played on the same CD player. I know digital is just 1s and 0s how can ... 
CD Copies...why do they sound worse?
Probably because your doing it through a computer. I have had the experience that the CDR always sounds better than the original. It's probably not the kind of diffrence that a pro audio engineer who is standing to the side of a pair of Yamaha NS1... 
What to do next???
I would make your source your number one concern. All others come secondary in my opinion. I don't know much about the pioneer, but you might want to compare the sound of the pioneer to say a Rega Planet CD player which can be bought used for abou... 
CDRs sound better than original!!!
To clarify, the recorder I use is an outboard (audio only type) recorder. I use a Meridian 506.24 as the transport and an Illuminations D60 digital cable. I think that there might also be an improvement if Discsolution is applied to the disc prior...

To Desmedford I can bench 350 lbs so you better watch what your calling me. 
Hi Fi Car Audio
You must be a punk kid, in my experience only punk kids are into hifi car audio. My suggestion... get out of the car and get into the house. 
MY Sidewinder AC cord progress:
Thank you Carl for the reviews, very informative. This has insipired me to give the King Cobra a run on my Wadia 860 which now has a HT power cord.

PS Audio Smoke and Mirrors?
I don't know the science behind it but I do know what my ears tell me and I can hear a significant improvement in overall clarity and smoothness with the frequency set to 85-90. If I go above that the sound starts to thin out. I personally felt I ...
