Can You Expalin Why Power Cables Do This?
Here's something interesting regarding power cords:PC measurements 
sub integration merlin tsm mme
49hz crossover point rather than 26hz seems better to me. Few monitors do much below 40-50 hz or so.I've used my M&K sub with both Triangle Titus and Dynaudio Contour 1.3mkii.Crossover for Triangles works best up around 50-60hz or so. For the ... 
Guitar Hero or Rock Band: Admit You Play?
I want to sing the Stone's "She's So Cold". IS that on Rockband? It should be! 
Best Guitar CD Recording

The Moody Blues - "Seventh Sojourn"
Just gave SS a fresh spin for the first time in a while since completing recent system upgrades.The bar was raised significantly this time around in terms of the overall sound quality of the MoFi CD.With the new 500w/ch IcePower amps, everything w... 
Perhaps we should stick with midfi...
Gong,I would not worry about things like midfi, hi end labels on gear. Its good to have reasons for buying things other than just to buy stuff that is "better". You always have to start with getting the right speakers for your taste that can work ...
