| How is/was your Satori speaker cable? I had a pair that I sold because I did not like the low end weight, but frankly they will perform differently depending on the system, so our feedback does not mean much for you Hifigary. Some like them, some will not. | |
| The Demise of the Hi-End Audio Store Panfish, how's Audio Craft in Cleveland? I've passed it before when visiting the city on business. Have you heard the Golden Ear speakers? They are supposed to be a dealer. | |
| McIntosh on CBS News I liked how the guy that did the interview said, when asked if he came back with anything, "if you tell Nicole (his wife) I can have one." | |
| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? To each his own, but the 303/300 was the single most disappointing high end piece I ever owned. | |
| The Dave Brubeck Quartet I have one live and one studio recording by them. After several listens, just a bit too saccharine for my tastes. | |

| Power Cords - Just Say Yes Lacee, you are correct all the way. Disconnecting, moving and reconnecting cables alters the sound coming from the speakers. From top to bottom there is a change in the presentation. It can take a day or so for the sound to restore. Changing out p... | |
| Upgrade from Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE Joule Electra makes quality preamps. | |
| Static electricity Killin me. Ditto to everyone targeting shoes as the culprit. If you are wearing shoes when this static occurs then you need to take them off. One particular pair of shoes I wore was causing painful pops to my hand every time I touched my gear. I don't wear t... | |
| NAD M2 Look up and contact Audiogon member Jaxwired, who owned the M2. | |
| Which USB Cable do you like using So far have used the Wireworld Starlight and Furutech Formula 2. The Formula 2 is connected now. I found it a little less in the highs but a fuller sound overall. May try the Starlight again. From what many say, 1.5 meter is the ideal minimum leng... | |
| What Instrument would you listen to? Piano is almost a consensus which is difficult to find in any audiophile discussion, but drums is of great interest too me as well simply because they are so hard to get right and can tell you so much about your system's performance. | |
| What Does A USB to SPDIF Converter Allow? Thanks for the info. |
