| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Andrew Hill's "Passing Ships". Recorded way back in 1969 but only released in 2003. A "nonet"! The title track here. It ain't sweet sounding soprano sax or oboe stating the melody but rather English Horn in the hands of Joe Farrell (given name:... | |
| Diagonal Connection With Two Pairs Of Binding Posts @ericschI second what Nonoise (and others?) have said about getting the best jumpers you can afford. After living with mftr. supplied jumpers and trying DIY (didn’t hear a significant change), I finally sprang for a used set of mid product range C... | |

| Initial disappointment with 1st set of “expensive’ IC’s... Thanks for the info, @jl1nyI'd come across that Jeff's Place article before but at the time was focused on the Dueland wire. Completely forgot about Belden and Mr. Yazaki. You might find the link here of interest. Given ground connection at both... | |
| Initial disappointment with 1st set of “expensive’ IC’s... @jl1ny Trust your ears! I'll be interested in what you hear (or don't hear) a month from now if you pull the Clear Light IC and go back the Belden wire. Speaking of which, you've got me curious now. I can search the net, of course; wondering wh... | |
| Initial disappointment with 1st set of “expensive’ IC’s... @jl1ny Interesting report. I take it your friend came to make cable changes (or not) both Saturday and Sunday? In any case, don’t beat up on yourself. What you hear and how you "feel" about what you hear has a huge subjective component to it but t... | |
