Best Speaker Placement Rules you've used?
Recently, I have been experimenting with the nearfield speakers placement as suggested by Audio Physic and it has improved the overall presentation of the music that is being played. I will still need more time to optimise my placement but I initi... 
Is the JPS DIGITAL cable as good on CD as reviewed
I had the JPS feeding my DAC at one stage and I thought it cured/rounded some of the "digital" nasties. IMO if your system is bright sounding it might just do the trick. My comparison was the PS Audio Xstream Plus PC. I finally settled for the lat... 
Audio Grade Fuse, Anyone?
Perhaps applying Silclear or Walker SST to the contacts of the fuse may generate similar results. The theory here as I understand is to enhance current flow of the fuse. Have anyone tried this? 
Do folks use contact enhancing liquids with sucess

Sonic difference 1.0m vs 1.5m digital cable
Thanks Sean for the explanation and let us know your test results if you are proceeding with this. My sense is with most i/c (including digital) they will not sound the same at different lengths but generally longer means trade offs with something... 
Sonic difference 1.0m vs 1.5m digital cable
Thanks for the responses so far and hence after reading what has been discussed in AA and here I 'm not convinced this will make a difference subjectively, though the techincal explanation makes sense to me. I guess it is system dependent and as s...

Sssss...sibilance?
Have you tried cleaning the cable contacts & than applying them with Walker SST or similar (Mapleshade SilClear)? This has worked very well in my system which has a tendency to sound bright on some recordings before. 
Sound is too thin. What to upgrade, add or remove?
I agree with some of the responses above that you might want to try to fix the "basics" 1st before spending big $$$ on component upgrades. I will also start with simple tweaks (if you have not done this already) for eg: clean all cable contacts wi... 
What's under your Classe Omega, or other big amp?
Oops.......I meant with the Symposium Super Plus Platform.Cheers. 
What's under your Classe Omega, or other big amp?
with the included large couplers seems to work better for me than Aurios MIBs. The music with the Symposium sounds more dynamic & fuller. With the Aurios, the music sounds lighter and a bit more transparent. My amp is the Ayre V-3 with the fee...
