| Whats the best platform/support for Hydra Tried many - so far, Ken Lyon's Nueance isolation shelf AND Orchard Bay Khorus brass cones works best for my original Hydra.The copper slug helps too but is difficult to source. | |

| A Packing and Shipping Manifesto Great post. I pack pretty well - double boxed, bubble wrapped, etc. But some times, even the best efforts on our part is not enough.Will never use UPS again - they have even managed to bend the blades on the AC plug of a well packed $$$ power cord... | |
| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now Casa Lapostolle Cuvee Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon or the more voluptuous Cuvee Alexandre Merlot are great wines ! I also enjoyed the Morning Star Chardonnay produced by Chain of Ponds from Adelaide Hills, South Australia - a burgundian (Puligny M... | |
| Shunyata King Cobra V1 verses V2 Gb,My apologies - typo, should read "yin".Original version is more analogue while sacrificing some transparency, so sounds a little on the dark side.Anaconda Vx seems to have achieved a better balance than either V1 or V2. | |
| Shunyata King Cobra V1 verses V2 Gb, Which version is your King Cobra /The original is more "ying" - analogue, darker, but very sexy :)V2 has better speed and transient, but lacks the velvet tonality of the original.The Python is a lesser pc but manages to combine a nice blend of... | |

| Shunyata King Cobra V1 verses V2 Mitch,I guess this crazy hobby is kind of contradictory ;0 While I can imagine how a "scientific minded person" can conclude the Python is 85% as good as the Anaconda, I disagree - you can re-read my comments between the lines :) Both versions of ... | |
| Shunyata King Cobra V1 verses V2 My experience with the Shuyata cords (I have owned all of their filled pc) mirrors Gb's view. The Python and BM are great cords at their respective price points. The KC v1 and v2 are superior in my view. If you can get a good price on those used, ... | |
| Any one else has a problem re: shipping damage Thanks, Motdathird.Done that in Singapore up til supervisor level. Then US exporter took up a claim but he did not get past supervisor. Looks I need to recommence ops in Singapore. | |
| Any one else has a problem re: shipping damage Thanks Ed.That was what I had in mind. I wouldn't have bothered if not for UPS' attitude. All I asked for was they investigate, not that they accept my complaint as a fact.Their small prints do not constitute law. I was thinking of using Credit Ca... | |
| Any one else has a problem re: shipping damage Thanks Pbb.

| DVD-Audio 5.1 into 7.1 Sogood's suggestion only works if the DVD-A can be outputed digitally. Current software protection agreement explicitly disallows that (except may be proprietory firewall links in Pioneer etc).Short answer - not quite possible now. Who knows what ... | |
| Opinions: Marantz DV-12S1 vs Pioneer Elite 45a The DV45A and the DV47Ai use the same AUDIO D/As, etc. So if your main interest is audio, the 45A is a sensible choice. However, having heard both (stock version) side by side in a hi-res set up in a dealer's shop, the 47Ai was better overall to m... |
