Anyone Experienced Douglas Cables?
I have a 22 foot pair of Morrow Audio SP-6 speaker cables that I have never used if you would be interested. 
Computer for music only?
I run a Sound Science, Music Vault Diamond server that utilizes Windows 7 and a Lineux sound card. I use JRiver for playback and DBpoweramp for ripping. The sound is incredable and beats the pants off my previously optimized MacMini. I was surpris... 
Sadly missed manufacturers
Jmcgrogan2, I very much agree with you about Cary not being the same after Dennis Had moved on. Think we could talk him into returning?? 
Coincident vs Lamm
You are right Charles. The opportunity will present itself once again. I really would have enjoyed the comparison but part of me is glad I didn't spend the money. 
Coincident vs Lamm
After much thought, I finally called my friend to accept his offer. He did not hear back from me right away so he sold the amps to his nephew. Guess the Lamm's were not in the cards. Thanks for all the well received thoughts from all you guys. 
Coincident vs Lamm
Thanks guys for your response. My friend lives in another state and is unwilling to ship them to me for a listen without a commitment. I understand his concern but to put out that kind of bucks without a listen...... I'm at an impass.I could trave... 
Is there a Music Player for this?
I'm using a Sound Science Music Vault Diamond player coupled to my Weiss Dac 202. I currently use the AES/EBU connection to the Dac but this unit will do Firewire or USB also. In my system, it beat the pants off the MacMini I previously used.

I use JRiver to play and Dbpoweramp to rip to my Windows 7 server with great results. 
What's the best Dac for the money
Weiss 202, absolutely great sound

Sounds like Mike is in trouble. I had problems in the past with him but he always made it right in the end. His communication skills sometimes aren't the best but after a time, he made it right. 
Best Way to Play Flac Files
For a couple years I used a MacMini for my digital music source. Converting Flac through the use of other programs and trying to work my way through an endless stream of work around programs to make my optimized mini listenable. It was just okay, ... 
Principles of audiophile cable construction?
Years ago I was kinda in the same situation. I had a pretty good set up but didn't really have a lot of knowledge about which cables might better my listening experience. I read comments from many of the more experienced posters on this site and t... 
Horning Perikles w Frankenstein amp
Swampwalker,The Frankensteins definately excell at conveying the emotional side of the music which was even further enhanced when I switched to the Takatsuki 300B tubes. In my system and to my ears, these amps deliver detail and realism that I hav... 
Horning Perikles w Frankenstein amp
My Frankenstein amps have absolutely no problem driving my Coincident Pure Reference speakers with 2- 12 inch woofers per speaker. Every now and then, I will switch out the Franks and plug in my VAC 30/30 but the Franks still rule in my system and...
