Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly?
I still love the music I loved as a teen in the late 60s -early 70s.I was obsessed with Frank Zappa who unfortunately did pass away.Help I'm a Rock! 
Stand for B&W 805 D3?
The stands from Monoprice are well made,heavy,and sturdy.I put two of them under each of my large monitors. 
Room Treatment
I have GIK treatments.You can send them a picture of your room, fill out the form online and someone will get back with you to advise and get you started on the best options for your space.You don't have to take measurements,but it's helpful to ac... 
Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product?
I actually think it's an interesting idea.If the 'reviewers ' could describe their rooms,equipment,and personal preferences up front.But someone has to purchase the item and how would any damages be handled?Someone's going to pay for that glass!!M...

@musichead the best cable I've found between the AM and CXC is a Silnote Morpheus lll.The separation between the instruments and vocals,tone,timbre,and lack of glare is really excellent.I've tried quite a few in the past six months and it is head ... 
You are invited on a "trip down memory lane".
mr_m1 my parents kept the records in the sleeves.But then stacked them on the spindle because they had an automatic turntable:-) 
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
Great thread!I'm looking forward to reading about the various comparisons. 
Battle of the unknowns... (cable companies)
Audio Envy,Black Cat,Silnote,and Zen Wave all make excellent products.I'm always trying new ones from the smaller boutique companies and these are the most recent over the last six months.A lot of people like Audio Art but personally I really don'... 
Dedicated Power Line Project
What auxinput said ^^^.It's also too thick to fit behind the screws that clamp it down or in the hole to spring clip it.If you try to bend it tightly it will weaken and break.10 gage barely fits in an outlet. 
Getting GIKed!
I bought some GIKs last year.It was fun and interesting to move them around and hear the changes wrought.In my room it is all about the corners is what I found out.Have fun and update here in a couple of weeks! 
Another s/pdif digital cable thread
No cable or connector is going to pass the signal perfectly.Get some adapters and see what sounds best to you.I've actually had very good sound using an XLR cable with adapters before,which seems ridiculous.It hurts nothing to try :-) 
Holy Brightness Batman!
@b_limo  Corey Hart definitely should never sound ssssspity!You asked me why 'clear transparency' often is missing the emotion.My personal take on it is it's fascinating at first to hear vocalists and instruments almost like they were recorded in ...

Thanks for sharing your first impressions teajay!I've also found the Tubadour to be very responsive to tube and cable changes.Also @vassils appreciate you sharing your experience.It really helps those of us who don't have the opportunity to auditi... 
Can Biwire speaker cables be used on speakers without biwire terminals?
Yes.Both + together on the + post.Both - together on the - post. 
Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables?
Some companies actually do measure the cables and the info and graphs are on the websites.What I have found is it doesn't matter how the cables measure if the components(most of them) are unable to send and recover a perfect signal.Trial and error...
