Need help: soundstage?
I also find the Immedia site a useful different appraoch to the standard cardas set-up technique, I use some ideas I learned there in my system.Please try this very simple tweak, put vibrapods between speaker and stand and you should hear deeper b... 
Analysis Plus Oval 9 or DH Labs T-14?
What a joke this voting system is! I give Gunbei good thoughtful advice that can truly be a help and get two negative votes! 
Analysis Plus Oval 9 or DH Labs T-14?
I am not familiar with MF E60 CDP but if it has a digital out the biggest single improvement you can make is upgradingDAC with Bel Canto DAC 1.1, this does more to remove digitalhardness/leaness than anything else you will do. Slow roll-off filter... 
power cords/surge protector-conditioner
Dekay is correct, plug HTS 2000 into wall and plug power cords into HTS 2000. You will easily hear improvement over stock cords that came with equipment. You can buy used hereand then sell for almost same price, or try Cable Co which has cable lib... 
Powersnakes power cords
JD you will get no negative votes for expressing contrary view in a civil manner, every one has valuable opinion.I can address two points you raise.1)Most powersnakes are being sold to upgrade to other snakes, you will see resale value is very goo... 
Powersnakes power cords
The strengths of the Black Mamba have been discussed here many times, and it makes sense for higher end systems, cost is very high at $700 new/450 used, but performance is outstanding. To further complicate the matter Shunyata Hydra is available f... 
Which flat spkr. cable to use
I would not put any decent cable where it will be stepped on, could damage cable. That said Geortz, Analysis Plus, Nordost make flat cables. For reasonable cost Analysis Plus and Geortz. If it were me and I had to place speaker cables where people... 
I don,t Understand ????
Evo, completely outrageous attitude by Synergistic, you would think they owed you a favor for getting gouged when you first got the cable!Harkey info about Siltech is reassuring and shows a quality company that services its products. Siltech makes... 
So much Bach, where do I start?
Yes Brandenburg Concertos are very good, too many good versions to mention, I have Pinnock/Archiv label.What you really want though going by your description areVivaldi concertos, which can make Bach sound stodgy by comparison. Get the entire sets... 
loss of bass after filling stands
Spiking and filling your speaker stands may give you tighter bass, but not the deepest bass your 2 way speakers are capable of. Place vibrapods between speaker and baseand you will experience deeper more extended bass.....only takes a couple minut... 
Moon vs Electrocompaniet
Why pay $4000+ for a new player that will be hard pressed to surpass the sound of 2 yr old BC Dac1? Bel Canto will surely be coming out with new DAC soon to use 24/192 chips now available. Unless money is no object with you I would stay with outbo... 
Suggestions for filling speakers stands?
For completely different approach, use vibrapods betweenspeaker and stand you will be amazed at the difference in sound. You will get deeper bass which is the major shortcoming of small 2 way speakers. Very cheap tweak to try, and stands then don'... 
Member Nominations: Best Entertainment
SugarBrie is that one of the Decca "legend" series?The new Mahler 3 by Simon Rattle on EMI label is best recording of any Mahler symphony I have heard, if only they all could be like this. Performance is very good also. 
Music trivia anyone?
Most people think John meant the "walrus" to refer to Paulin the song "I am the walrus" from MMT.BTW >>>It is also interesting to note that every complete stereo release of I am the Walrus reverts to a strange stereo mix - no treble on th...
