Cryogenically treated cables
It doesn't cost very much to do cables. I bet you could get a dozen interconnects done for under $30. I talked to a place here in town (cedar rapids, iowa) about doing some parts for my drag bike. While I was there I asked him if he'd ever done an...

DIY Cat 5 speaker cables....
I use CAT5 cables in my sytem and am very happy with the results with my 802 series 3's. I used the Chris VenHaus design and Belden 1585a cable that he recommends. I run my speakers bi-amped and used 9 twisted pairs for the mid/tweet and 27 for th...

Mannheim Steamroller HDCD's, anybody heard them?
Thanks for your input Bob, much appreciated. I was at Sam Goody 2 days ago and saw they had Fresh Aire 3 and 6 hdcd's as seperates, not in the box set. They also have the Christmas cd's in a box set of their own, also hdcd remastered. I'll have to... 
Best MTV Unplugged?
Either Nirvana or Alice In Chains 
CAN Bi-Amping been done Correctly?
I have a pair of B&W 802 series 3's that are bi-amped with a pair of Parasound amps. The difference was nothing short of amazing.

Can someone tell me what this song is??
Dumb question, how did you do that? I have an old fusion song that I'd love to find the title and who it's by. 
Nirvana on Simply Vinyl
I have the MFSL gild discs and I think they both sound incredible, muc much better than the originals. Whether or not it's worth the money is up to you to decide. 
Favorite HDCD????
Dire Straits- Money For Nothing(best of)TOOL- LateralusBryan Ferry- MamounaMickey Hart- Mystery Box 
who sings this?
I forgot about this disc. I think I'll go throw it in now. Fade Into You is my favorite. 
PC to ext. DAC?
I think your problem was the Soundblaster card, I've heard nothing but bad about them. If i remember correctly they do sample rate converting before it feeds out the signal from 44.1 to 48khz. I have absoltely no complaints about the SQ of my soun... 
PC to ext. DAC?
Does it have a digital output? If so, yes you can. Usually the ouptut is located ON the soundcard. If not you will have to buy another soundcard that has either a coaxial or optical output. My comp has a TOSLINK output that i feed to either my DAC...
