Review: TARA Labs RSC Master Gen II Interconnect
Very nice review. 
Better than AQ Midnight + Speaker Cables?
Has anyone tried the Analysis Plus? They're supposed to be non-fatiguing and excellent for the price. Again, this is for a solid state system with high sensitivity speakers.

I have an all solid state HT system (all Cary SS). My system can be on the bright side for my taste and was considering saving up for Cardas crosses.I'm thinking about giving the Anti-Cables a try, but I'm worried they might not be great with a so...

Telia, thanks for your very detailed response. I'm using an all solid state system (Cary Audio Home Theater gear). Maybe the JPS would be best for me then?

I guess I've talked myself up to about $500 on Agon for speaker wire. Does that change any of your recommendations?Thanks again. 
Better than AQ Midnight + Speaker Cables?
Deecee - One question, I notice various reviews of the Cardas Quad (including yours) mentioned that detail was a strong suit of this cable. Every time I hear that it makes me think there will be a bright presentation. Since my Cary speakers get to... 
Better than AQ Midnight + Speaker Cables?
Deecee - thanks for the review. I've also been looking at Cardas, but they're usually beyond my (wife approved) price range (whipping sound).Trelja - tell me more about the other cables you mention. One other thing I'm not crazy about with the Mid...

They have an edginess to the treble that I'd like to eliminate which you'd only probably understand if you heard them. I'd like a similar sound, but smoother. 
Speakercable w vg definiton of drumssounds.
I just purchased AQ Midnight Plus's on Agon for $150 shipped. These are really ideal for drum sounds. Bass, attack, are tremendous (I've unplugged the subwoofer) - and yet the treble isn't rolled off at all - even a bit edgy giving you the full sh... 
Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable
It takes more than a random passage to get to know the sound of a component/cable etc. That's why, as already stated, blind AB testing is limited in usefulness and probably misleading more often than not.

Well said.

To the guy who owns the AQ Midnights - what were your thoughts on them? I've ordered the Midnight + from Jeffs Sound Values, but they won't be here for another week.I've heard that they sound almost tube like while keeping the details.. I'm upgrad... 
Hi Fi burnout.
Just the opposite here. I had a lower end (outlaw and rotel) HT system that never sounded well with music, and as a result stopped playing music in the home.After getting an all Cary HT rig, now my system is producing some sweet music again, and I... 
Review: Porter Port AC Outlet Customized Hubbell 8300 Tweak
Hi Albert, just calling em like I see (and hear) em. It's a very worthwhile upgrade especially at the price, and I hope you'll continue to offer them. Otherwise I'll have to pull outlets out of my house on my next move. :D 
Review: Porter Port AC Outlet Customized Hubbell 8300 Tweak
I just installed two porter ports in my system. One to a new dedicated line for my AV gear (Cary pre, amp and DVD player) and one for my video.Yes the audio had tremendous improvements including a quieter background, better detail, imaging, livlie...
