Interconnect using tonearm wire.
...IF you use lots of it. It'll take EIGHT pairs to get to 24g.!. 
What do you think of my 25 laws of audio
If those are intended to be funny, I agree.. 
upgrading speaker crossovers & tuning
Raul's comments make sense to me. I'm no GEA but I've heard differences in caps and resistors, the latter between the cheapest sand-type and the Mills NI WWs. I've replaced the usual 16g. inductors in series with the MR drivers of my Eminent Tech.... 
upgrading speaker crossovers & tuning
I disagree with Unsound. I agree with Fischboat in that the quality of the caps and resistors probably leave a LOT to be desired. I certainly don't disbelieve that Richard Snell personally tuned each system. I THINK you can retain that by matching... 
Terminating AQ Bedrock cables
I have, several times. If you looked at AQ's site, you'd see that these flat, double-quad cables have 4-different-size conductors in them, in 2 bundles. The 'bass' bundle contains 16 and 19g. pairs, while the 'treble' bundle contains 18- and 21g. ... 
Comparison of B&W N802 vs. 803D
Have you ever heard Eminent Technology 8s? Only $1500 NEW, they'll sound lots more spacious and better for orchestral works (IMO, of course). If you like pop stuff, either of the B&Ws will do. Are you particularly sensitive to the quality of t... 
Multi Channle Amps
I recommend the Outlaw 770. 200WPC into 8 Ohms times 7, ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN, and 300WPC into 4 Ohms, same. Sounds VERY nice, without any edge or unattractive sound. Only c. $1800 (or $1549 delivered for B stock). Here's a review that helped me mak... 
Favorite Center??
A used Aerial CC3B. Just sold mine for $700. Too late. :-). 
audiophiles or retrophiles
"Solid state bad, tubes good." This has been true since transistors have existed! (It's a JOKE, boyz and girlz, it's a JOKE!!!!) Actually, SS equipment can sound quite good, and there are twelve of those cool-running little things in my 6-channel ... 
Best tubes for Sonic Frontiers 80
Surf, the Ei KT90 type 3 is a VERY-good-sounding 6550/88-type tube and was voted the best-sounding new-production 6550/88-type tube in the most-recent 'Vacuum Tube Valley' test. I've used them in c-j Premier Elevens, NewGen 94s (2 pairs each amp),... 
24-bit 96-kHz remastering of classical
Dave, exactly which remasterings on CD are you discussing?. 
Anyone listen to the new Conrad Johnson CT5 preamp
Retail price?. 
Setting 6-ch. levels isn't as easy as you think
The PAA2 is VERY handy for setting frequency balances. I recently bought a pair of Eminent Technology LFT-8s. As my much-loved main amps are ASL 805 SETs with only 50 Watts of power, I quickly biamped them using an old Dalquist DQLP1 electronic cr... 
cable break in
"The speed of insulation polarization is comparable with speed of light so cable "breaks-in" as soon as you connect it to the signal."Really? Nah...come on...this is a joke, right?. 
cable break in
Nsgarch's additional info is consistent with my understandings..
