PowerSnake Owners Unite!
I would be interested in actually hearing what people who own these have to say about the sound. 
Has Anyone used an Anti-Static Spray
Yes I use anti stat spray, heard about it from another audiophile. 9.00 for a quart spray bottle from Mcmastercar.com. As good as the Nordost for a lot less. The guy I learned it from reccommended the Antistat and cleaning all connections with Che... 
Amp stands- Do they work?
I bet Nanderson and all doubters are listening in dirty living rooms. All the junk laying around is enough to distract their attention form the improvement that the amp stand is giving to them 
Amp stands- Do they work?
I was wondering if Redkiwi could elaborate on the air bladder shelf combo. I have heard that these can make an enourmous diffrence and being a skilled craftsman want to make my own, and would like to know what materials work best. 
Amp stands- Do they work?
also try, if you have your amps plugged into the powerwedge, plugging them directly to the wall outlet. I had a powerwedge 116 and was amazed to find that the 3 sounded better straight into the wall. I got a more dynamic less veiled sound. 
Amp stands- Do they work?
I recently did just what you did and upgraded from the 3 to the 2s. I had my 3 on a sandbox and added a second when I switched to the monoblocks. I personally found that the 2s sounded better that the 3. The extreme highs maybe sounded a little be... 
Last CD purchase; M.L. 39 or Wadia 850?
I also did comparisons between the 860 and the 39. I bought the 860 as well. They are both good, the Wadia is more immediate and tight(accurate) with great tight tuneful bass. The Levinson is much more laid back relaxed (smooth) If your system is ... 
Comments requested on Meridian 508.24
I have a 506.24. The guy who sold it to me, a dealer said that it sounded better than the 508.20 and almost as good as the 508.24. I know I was probably stupid to take this advice, but I didn't want to hear that I should spend 2000.00 more than I ... 
Could someone explain the Pass Aleph 3??
I own an Aleph 3 and I can tell you that it doesn't play loud. I personally don't care because it plays loud enough for me. With my system 91 db speakers it will play to about 90 db without distortion, in a large room, which is not that loud (defi... 
harmonic technoliges interconnects/cable
I have worked my way through TARA Audioquest Kimber and now I use all harmonic tech. I think that the Pro Silway Mk 2 absolutely blows away Audioquest and everything else I have tried and it's a great price to boot. The pros require 50+ hours of b... 
It's not the sound I want!
I agree that the source is the most important. Try something like a Meridian 508.24 and the improvement will amaze you. 
Best Vanishing speakers
The best I have ever heard were a set of meadowlark kestrels with about 50k front end. 
Will a ALEPH 3 match with an 87 db monit
I tried to use the Aleph 3 with a pair of NHT super zeros, and found that I couldn't play much over 80-85 Db without overdriving the amp. I think that the NHTs are 87 db sensitive as well. I hope this doesn't scare you away from Pass Labs amps as ... 
Harmonic Technologies VS AudioTruth Diam
I have recentley replaced the AQ Lapis 1/2 meter with the HT Pros mk 2. I found the H.T. better in every regard. I found it amazing that they could retrieve so much more detail and yet sound so much smoother and easier to listen to at the same tim... 
Black Diamond Cones ADVICE
I use the BD cones under my CD player and I found a significant improvement by using them with ART Q dampers as a foot to the cones. The Q dampers have a center dent that the point of the BD cones fits into perfectly.
