Jazz for late night relaxation
Anything by Art Tatum, or Teddy Wilson. Unfortunately, a little pre-hifi, but still good.Esp. Tatum group performances on Pablo. Love for Sale with Lionel Hampton is a masterpiece. 
Does anyone know about putting marker on CDs?
You could contact RTI and see if their machines could remove the ink.I bought their Pro model to remove scratches and polish my aging discs. 
New amp for Vandersteen 2CE
As a McCormack fan, I would normally say go with McC.But, as you have the Adcoms, why not upgrade them at MusicalDesign and see if you like them?I had the Adcom 555 running while my DNA-1 was being upgraded by SMc. When the DNA came back, I was ve... 
Controlling a PC with Monitor or Smartphone

Subwoofer cable recommendations
The original Vandersteen sub cable has long disappeared, so I had to buy something new.I took Amarg's suggestion and purchased a pair of Cable Solutions cables. I, too, find his comments to be spot on (and I have looked at numerous posts). Thanks,...

Does anyone know of a service that does this? I am in NYS. 
Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's
JohnnyR,  these are in my LR/DR. I can only place them in a couple of positions due to furniture. As they are now positioned, the 3a sigs sound pretty good. I know I could do better, but, as I said there are only a couple of good positions availab... 
Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's
Johnny, Thanks for the detailed reply.I ended up getting a pair of 2w's from someone in Michigan. He has good feedback, so let's hope for the best.They are about 12 years old or so, so not too old. Amazon delivered Ray Brown, yesterday. I was a ni... 
Subwoofer cable recommendations
Akg-ca- If I had unlimited funds, I would get what I know to be 'quality' cables, but I got caught up in buying more stuff than I originally thought I needed. I need to cut a few corners until work starts up again...Amarg- thanks for the link. I w... 
Subwoofer cable recommendations
Part of my concern is that I have a fairly long run to my subs (25 feet). I am using Transparent Plus cables to the speakers, so, as per the Vandersteen hook up, I probably need the same length for the subs.With this in mind, can you recommend a b... 
Subwoofer cable recommendations
I am considering using Vandersteen 2wq's with 3a sigs and the M5-HT crossover. So, according to Vandersteen, I will be connecting the sub and speakers to the amp output. 
How important is customer service in your decision to pick an audio product (company)?
There is nothing like great customer service.I have just started getting back into stereo systems after 20 years.My holy grail speaker was Vandersteen 2. I found a nice pair of 3a sigs on Audiogon and a McCormack Amp, as well.When I had questions,...
