A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt?
I would not want to be forced to do a blind test. I've spent to much on cables. Of all I've owned I like the Monster Sigma retro the best. I've tried a few expensive brands (will not mention the names). I've also heard cables that cost 6-7 times w... 
I've Fallen in Love With My Mistress
Interesting thread. I agree with Audiofankj. I bet I can't come up with 10 movies that I would want to see again. I am also not a big fan of action movies. I also can't afford to do 2 channel right. For the past 8 years I think really good movies ... 
What's up with the 'Piano' gloss????
Maybe this is why they offer different finishes? The one that stumps me is the maple.

Krell 400Xi integrated amplifier
You forgot to mention the MC-501's you owned. You sure have owned alot of very high end amplifiers. What did you do with the the 501's and the 400cx Krell? Just curious.

Bigjob, you have to hear it for yourself. It wasn't for me. Go to the next show and give us a report. I know you can afford the 100K, I mean with your bigjob and all.

Gruv Glide. How many use it?
I use a Nitty Gritty and Gruv Glide. I love the stuff. If you are having the problems you are describing try following the directions better. I had those problems when using to much. BTW - I never thought I would ever disagree with anything Albert...

Best POP audiophile recording/album...

Larry Carlton
Sounds interesting. I must admit that I enjoyed some of that smooth jazz of his. What is great for fans (and him) is that he wasn't killed when he got shot in the head. The album "On Solid Ground" was dedicated to that terrible incident. 
I have posted my system to Virtual System
