One Month Music Discoveries
.....also thanks to Ikarus for Holly Cole suggestions. 
One Month Music Discoveries
David; nope not familiar with "Days of the New"-- what kind of music is it? Dekay, I agree re JJ Cale-- "The Anthology" is great. I think I have all his CDs and especially can recommend "Guitar Man". Cornfed; glad to see that Eva Cassidy has more ... 
The Best DeKay - Copper or Silver Wire?
This is one of the best Dekays I've seen since Audiogon implemented their decay system. Cheers. craig. 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
Dekay is right, when listening to music and auditoning equipment you have to trust your senses-- also in many other endeavors in life. 
Speaker wire is it science or psychology
Hi 702; Good post. I agree 100% that I would like to be able to accurately measure more-- it's just that we can't so I resort to much that is more "psychological" in nature, ie how does one measure enjoyment? We have to listen to make that judgeme... 
cornfedboy ?
Conrnfed; it seems that Dekay is jealous about your sole billing in a thread. Please ask your spouse to throw him one of your dog bones. Hey, we could have serious whining on our hands-- bad time to be out of cheese too, but then cheese probably c... 
The Best DeKay - Copper or Silver Wire?
.......to stay on topic, my IC dekays are silver wrapped copper. Speaker dekays are a whole bunch of nines copper. 
The Best DeKay - Copper or Silver Wire?

Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
Getting back to the topic-- can Stevemj demand that we prove our contention, ie that there is a difference in music character with "burn in", but we cannot demand that he prove his, ie that there is no difference with "burn-in"?Personally, I have ... 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
Uh-oh-- seems like I stepped on some toes without even meaning to. Adamanteus, if you'll look at my post again, you'll see that I said "Stevemj does not have the psychological or intellectual capacity TO GET WEIRD ENOUGH for this audiophile". Actu... 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
Excellent posts just above by both Sean and Bmp, IMO. But really, I don't think that Stevemj has either the psychological or intellectual character to get weird enough for this audiophile, or for most others with open minds. Was it Emerson who sai... 
Bi-Amp success story
Thanks for the response(s) guys. In the course of arranging to have my amps upgraded, I have had several long talks with Steve McCormack. There are four (main) options:1. Upgrade, and use, only one amp.2. Upgrade both amps and vertical biamp.3. Up... 
Bi-Amp success story
Sean; It's late, but I've got to know-- would you feel differently if the amps were 1200 wpc mono-blocs? I can easily arrange to have my DNA2s converted to 1200 wpc monos and use them as monos rather than passive bi-amping. The mono cost is not ex... 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
Sean; thanks for the Mobie info. I believe I have a Music Direct catalog, and will check for Mobies-- sounds vaguely venereal: ). Craig.
