Naim Theory on Cableing

Creek 5350SE - Is it all that?

Recommendations to "Professional" Reviewers?
if the restaurant critic for the detroit free-press accepts an accomodation from a restaurant they are fired. by definition it requires two 'willing' parties to engage in this. they should spell this out prominently.....like a store policy. the no...

Should a good system sound bad with bad recording?

BIG CAT's on BIG Wilsons
if you have the money to spend on a cat-wilson combo, take half of that money and buy music, and with whats left, buy a great hi end stereo system. i apologize for being so blunt, but you would have gotten more opinions if you said you were going ... 
Recommendations to "Professional" Reviewers?

preamps with tone controls.
needless to say, whatever pre you decide on, you won't be worried about beaks and room tunes, and you will be able to enjoy tens-of-thousands of recordings, and not just worry about getting 'famous blue raincoat' to sound right. god have mercy on ...
