| Cardas Golden Power Cord..... The Cardas Golden is an excellent cord and it will do what you are looking for it to do. I've always had an upper limit new or used around $200 for power cords and own two Cardas Goldens currently. Other cords that I've tried have included XLO, LA... | |
| High End Fuses? There have been discussions about this here before. FWIW, I've replaced the glass fuses in both my integrated amp and my line conditioners with ceramic fuses and there was a subtle but audible improvement in sound quality in terms of smoothness. N... | |
| Review: World Power Receptacle Cryoed Hubbell 5362 Tweak My comparisons did not include the Acme as I much preferred the sonic character of the stock Hubbell to the stock Pass & Seymour which the Acme is based on. In theory, the silver plating should be much better than the nickel, but I'm unsure as... | |
| Review: Grungebuster CD Mat Herbie's Audio Lab Tweak I bought it right here on Audiogon. Just do a search for Herbie's or Grungebuster and it should show up. And, just to be clear, I have no affiliation with Herbie other than as a satisfied customer with this mat. I have never purchased any of his o... | |

| Review: World Power Receptacle Cryoed Hubbell 5362 Tweak Thanks for that clarification Albert. I knew from a post that you made some time ago that your 8300's were not nickel plated (I should take this opportunity to thank you, as well, as one of your posts a few years ago led me back to a bit more expe... | |
| Does it matter what gauge power cord that you use? While there may be no technical reason a larger guage cord will work better, my experience is that the larger guage cords that I have tried have been better performers overall with my integrated amplifier. I have not tried anything heavier than 10... | |
| New Buddy Guy - "Blues Singer" Crazy: I'm all for that; you have to respect a bluesman like Buddy who has been plying his trade for more than 40 years and who has also been a strong promoter of the blues through his ownership of clubs. And there is no denying his influence on t... | |
| New Buddy Guy - "Blues Singer" Personally, I think that Buddy's best work was done in the early to mid 60's with Junior Wells. Junior was definitely the leader of that band, much more innovative, and held everything together. Buddy's more recent work (say the past 15 years) sho... | |
| Sony 9000es v. Phillips 963SA - anyone compared? As stated above, the Sony and Philips do NOT do DVD Audio, but will play the DVD video layer which all DVD players will do. So if you upgrade to the Philips muralman, it will NOT play the DVD audio layer, so it will NOT do even better with DVD Aud... | |
| Floorstanders over Suspended Hardwood-Help Please Audiobugged: Laminated glass (as opposed to tempered) poses no threat to kids as it is actually two layers of glass with a very resilient type of glue between the layers. It is quite thin (about 1/8" to 1/4") and will not shatter or break unless i... | |
| Floorstanders over Suspended Hardwood-Help Please Not that anyone will agree with me, but I am using floorstanders over berber over a suspended hardwood floor and would recommend the following.Buy 2 sheets of laminated or "security glass" 3-4" larger than the footprint of your speakers and use vi... |
