| ICs with great natural sounding highs? HI,I would recommend the new Acoustic System Livelines. In my system, it handily beat the AZ Ref II you referenced above as well as JPS Super3. Just a more organically sounding cable with a lively feel to its presentation. Yet, all the speed, pace... | |
| Quicksilver Gold Tips how to Apply Harris1204,I definitely recommend against applying quick-silver on HDMI cables. I've done it in the past on two cables and the interaction of pins caused drop out in picture. Use something that's non-conducting like Craig Pro-Gold, Power Booster o... | |
| Silclear, xTreme Quicksilver or Walker SST ? Hi,I have progold (good), Walker SST(good), Quicksilver(better) and Quicksilver Gold(best). I would vouch for the smaller version of the later. Works especially well on AC-related connection. Made a jaw-drawing difference on my TV and projector.YM... | |

| Totem Mani 2 Signatures vs. Usher BE-718 I own the BE-718 and have been happy ever since. Its top end is transparent but if fed with mediocre upstream equipment and asynergistic cabling could proved disastrous. If you're willng to put the time and effort in paring the speakers with compl... | |

| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF Hi Guidocorona,I have previously owned the BC Ref 1K before they were dethrone by the Nuforce alternative. Do you think the MKII version substancilly improved upon the original to warrant a reconsideration? My concern are as follows with the origi... | |
| Which bookshelf speakers to buy? Having owned the Onix Ref 1 bookshelf, I'd say it was at least the equal to my brother's B&W Nautilus 805--probably better it in terms of musicality. I don't think the B&W 602 has the refinement, top-end extension, control and tight/solid ... | |
| Review: Usher Be-718 Monitor I just want to reiterate again that the Be-718's require more break-in and solid state power to sound their best. Also, very important, the stands need be higher as well. Mine sits on 28 or 29" Core Furniture model "B" to sound their best and I am... | |
| Quicksilver Contact Enhancer Rodman,"Then there are those that never hear a difference regardless of what is changed(I envy them for the money they can save)".Well said and so true above.Kenobi :) | |

| HDMI Cable comparisons FWIW, I tried both the economy (28AWG @ $3.96) as well as the thicker gauge(24AWG), higher cost HDMI 1.3a compliant monoprice cable and have to give my nod to the later. Better color saturation, richer, better contrast. Plus it's only $6.97 for a ... | |
| Speaker shock absorbers Hi Kijanki,I believe Trondf meant the SM-1 model($70 w/ 50lbs capacity ea), not the SM-2 which you mentioned @ $160ea (150lbs capacity). So, $80 (w/ $10/ pack of pellets)x 8(4/spkr) = $640.00. Still, this is not insubstantial but if you have the d... |
