| What songs do you never get tired of? Ryder - thanks for the tip. I will have to check out things by 'Fourplay'. PG's "So" is old. If you don't have it, find it and give a listen. Hope you will enjoy it. | |

| Power cable that will "calm" digital Dunno if it will fix the issues you have w/digital but I just got a "Black Hole CD mat" as referenced by Listener57. It seems to make a difference to me. I am also running JPS speaker cables and CD interconnects. Did a Belkin/Marinco diy power cor... | |
| Spare change on a speaker cabinet Theo is right. This is reminiscent of the Totem Beaks. In fact someone on AudioGon posted (facetiously, I think) a note about using stacked coins in place of the beaks. | |

| HiFI Fuses ? I bought one from FatWyre (the Cable co.). I'm a big skeptic about some of this HiFi "magic". BUT I did think it made a difference....clarity, definition...better sound overall. Can I prove it? Probly not...but I still think it sounds better and f... | |
