| Breaking into the industry If there is a high performance audio company near where you live contact them and see what they have to offer. The industry is tough and many of the manufacturers you see on the 'Gon are very small operations so you may not have a ton of success g... | |

| Best intergrated amp for under $2000 Add the Eastern Electric M520 to your list, it really is special!Regards, Lee | |
| Cryo-treating CDs? Hifimaniac--Happy to help!Like HDM said, if done properly, deep cryogenic treatment of cables and other parts can yield tremedous benefits for a fairly small cash outlay. I've got to go to Wally World and pick up one of those Cyberhomes. Sounds li... | |
| Cryo-treating CDs? Hifimaniac--Interesting. I have never had any type of jacketing or sleeving crack. When problems like this occur, it is generally accepted that it is due to "thermal shock". Thermal shock can occur if an object is cooled too quickly. Audio cabling... | |
| Cryo-treating CDs? Hifimaniac--who treated your cables and what happened? CI is one of the best, so if it was them that did your treating, I'm sure it was done properly. I have treated (or had treated) thousands upon thousands of feet of wire and never ran into a pr... | |

They all sound and play differently from each other, even same model/brand.If you want something really inexpensive th... | |
| Most involving and thrilling moviemusic? "Glory". James Horner did a great job. If you can find it on vinyl, buy it! Sounds good, too.And now, for something completely different, "To Live and Die in LA". I know, I know, it's Wang Chung, but try it you'll like it. Or, the soundtrack to "M... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... I_audo_feel_ya, are you in DFW?If so, I called Goody Goody. Siegels would probably be a good choice as well.Regards. | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Okay, Gliderguider, I had never heard of "Sheep Dip", but I just called and am having the local liquor purveyor try and order me some. They said it should be pretty inexpensive...bonus. I've got to have some around, if nothing else, just for the n... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... For me, Macallan 21 year old. Light color and fantastic taste, with a very smooth peaty finish.For a little less money, the 18 year old is a VERY close second, just not quite as smooth.For something completely different, the Talisker as mentioned ... | |
