audiphile power cords
Once in a while the stock power cord sounds pretty good and various aftermarket cords can muck up the sound. It's happened in my past systems. Some aftermarket power cords can make very little difference. One problem is that you can't try every po...

What a Songstress Julie London
I cannot tell you how much I listen to her music, almost daily. I guess you could say I'm obsessed with her "sound." I'm addicted. Roxy54 you will enjoy her music even more! I wish my stereo was better because of her, and I really wish I had an ex...

Another unconventional power cord test?
John, I've read your posts over the years and you seem to have been through more pc's than most anyone here. I've been through what I call the "PC Jungle" too over the years, but not as extensively and expensively as you, and I've just about had i...
