Is this when you have "arrived??"
I don't consider myself a big, bad, strong, mean man, but I don't cry. I can't say why. I would not say that I fight back tears or bottle anything up inside. I guess I just don't understand it. I have felt very, very sad, and very, very happy with... 
Power Conditioners
That's the problem with researching, many times the more you read the more confused you will become.Just as with all things in this hobby, the best conditioner for your system can only really be chosen by you. Others can tell you what worked for t... 
Do I really want the musicians in my room?
Hey Hiernote, you just don't get it. Your statement is like saying a BMW most likely will certainly better a Mercedes, a car that you've never seen or driven. How can this be? How can one thing probably/certainly beat anything that you haven't exp...

04-24-08: HiernoteHi aggielaw> you should have taken a shot at the Gabriel Raptures IMHO they are in a far superior class than that of the KCI ,as they should be at twice the price and most likely will certainly better the Jade.Huh??? Most like...

"false god" I don't believe any manufacturer has ever claimed their cables to be "God Like"Someday we'll all know what the Guy upstairs listens to.Odds are he makes his own cables and electronics and unfortunately there is no distributor on earth ... 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?

Silver Plated Copper Balanced Cables
04-23-08: DavemitchellSilver over copper will tend to sound brighter than either pure silver or pure copper. I agree with Davemitchell here. Though if you are interested Audio Horizons Transparency is a decent, inexpensive silver clad copper wire.... 
Cables Are Crazy, what do you think?
Just ask him why he would think that two cables with different RCL characteristics (Scientific chatter) WOULD sound the same.Actually, don't even bother. I've found that those with scientific backgrounds NEED science to tell them what they are exp...

I haven't heard the AP cables, but I do agree that when I demo'd the VD Revelation's their bass was stunning, the best I've heard. Unfortunately, I had problems with other areas of the VD, so I did not keep them. I've probably only heard a couple ...

They are a major pain to fit.ChadeffectI know! When I was demoing a pair of VD Revelation speaker cables a while back, the cables snapped the binding posts off of one of my JRDG monoblock amps.Cheers,John 
Cables that cost more than good loudspeakers
Crazy is in the ear of the beerholder. I'm a believer in cables and power cords, but what still makes me scratch my head is those that spend more money on cables/cords than on equipment. I know some who have $13K cables attached to $5K components,... 
Stealth Audio Dream Petite
Chadeffect, to be honest, no, I haven't found anything that presents depth and width. I've also noticed that the more depth I get in a soundstage the narrower it gets, and bringing the stage more forward increases the stage width and height. I did... 
can I safely drive 250watt speakers with a 600watt
Yes......... 
Scoutmaster/JMW9 or used Basis 2001/RB900?
I've owned the VPI and the Basis series. I would say it depends on what you are looking for. The VPI is fuller, warmer, richer, while the Basis has more resolution, articulation and transparency. You certainly can try to balance each combo's stren...
