Networking cable for speaker cable?
I just recently (last weekend) finished building a bi-wire set of cables based on the Chris Ven Haus design. I absolutely love them! I used 9 pair for the highs and 18 pair for the lows. It is a pain in the butt to do all of the braiding but after... 
Music from ferris Beullers Day Off
The site is working fine for me. In case it goes down again, here it is: Track 8- The Art Museum - "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" 12"single Blanco y Negro NEG 20T, 1985UK by The Dream Academy. I remember some of their stuff being sl... 
Where to buy "Heat Shrink Tubing" ?

B W North Creek Crossovers
I was toying with the idea of also trying these on my 802 ser.3's until I found out that they cost more than what I paid for the speakers. I think I'm going to go the DIY route and just upgrade the existing x-overs. I'm sure I can get most of the ... 
Replacing Jumpers = Bi-wiring??
I've only tried this on one pair of speakers which are B&W 802's. Biwiring definitely sounds better on these than changing the jumpers. Why, I don't know. 
dire straits -what to buy
The remasters are great sounding. I haven't decided which I like better, the SBM remasters, or the HDCD Sultans of swing. I bought a Russian import of On Every Street on the Vertigo label that is the best I've heard yet. It says HDCD on the disc a...

spade lugs
Good lord that's a bunch. Are you putting a spade on each conductor? 
Cryogenic Tempering
I started a thread that was similar to this awhile back. Search for "Cryo Your Cables". I am also intersted in having this treatment done to my Bushmaster V- Match AR-15 rifle and the rotating assembly of my Suzuki GSXR dragbike engine but so far ... 
Cryogenic Tempering
Somebody has too many chemicals in their body. 
Blu-Tack where to Buy?
Go to Wal-mart. I bought some there in the office/school supplies section. 
Speaker punishing bass
I was just listening to Rusted Root. The track Drum Trip is a pretty good workout for the woofers. I also recommend Planet Drum by Mickey Hart. Those above who mentioned Billy Cobham's Warning cd are absolutely correct, it's been one of my favorit... 
Hockey Pucks under amp?
I got some nice heavy tool steel blocks from the tool and die department at work, works great too. 
What are B W 802 Series 3 s worth?
Hey Sc53, how much do those stands go for? I found their website but I didn't see any prices listed. Are they that much better than any other stand? Brent
