Power cable for Mark Levinson No.383
There's too many to recommend one and you don't mention cost or any other information. But I'd look at some of the respected cables out there. Think dynamic... I'd try the VH Audio Airsine, Synergistic Research power cords (the new lineup), Acroli... 
thoughts on NAD M3
I had the M3 and it like all others performs better when it synergizes with your other gear. It was as stated reticent in the treble, a bit closed in and a bit slow in my setup. This took away from the excitement of the music it produced. I have t...

Dexter Gordon Influences Metalica
No telling what he thought of it. But as cool as he seemed to be he probably found something to "dig" about Metallica. 
The Best CDs to Give as Presents
The movie soundtrack "Shaft." This would make an outstanding gift. Excellent recording and timeless music that still sounds fresh after almost 40 years. For those who are unfamiliar (though everyone knows the "Shaft" theme song), the high quality ...

Rest in peace Louie. 
production or reproduction
I agree with you Mrtennis. I know my system is far from neutral and uncolored and that has never been my goal. My goal has been to have a satisfying system that sounds good to me playing the jazz and other genres I like.

Effects of Power Outages Where You Live
Just wanted to let you know that after plugging in my system it did not sound the same after a whole day of being on. Bass in particular and resolution were not as they had been. For those of you espousing a few hours of on-time, the common wisdom...

Thanks, as a jazz lover I'll check it out.

True Eee3 that's happened here in the past but not so much with my current system. Hope the gear is robust enough to be unaffected. 
Epos m16i or Definitive Tech Mythos STS
Well one speaker, the STS is active and the other, the Epos is a passive design. The STS will give you more low end than the Epos because of the built in amp and subwoofer. I have the STS' big brothers the ST speakers and I really like them. The S...
