Which SILVER cables sound best?
I have not compared them, but from the pictures PSS looks like the same design as Silver Audio Silver Bullet 4 with cheaper RCA connectors. You should contact Cable Co. and arrange to hear some ICs in your system, comments here are too general to ... 
Which SILVER cables sound best?
If money is no object, try Acoustic Zen silver ICs. For real world I like Silver Audio Hyacinth $275 or HT ProSilway 11 $399 new. Both are superior to Kimber Silver Streak or KCAG, which sound hard and bleached in comparison. Kimber has much more ... 
That cool rounded-edge CD Player...
Niels, I have MF X series amps and preamps and they do look pretty cool. The MF A3CD has same dac as X-Ray and was tweaked slightly to sound better. 
Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever
There are many "new country" female artists that are very hot. Faith Hill in the "breathe" video, new hairstyle looks like scarecrow though, Shania Twain very solid, many more. Jenifer Lopez is "latino heat" 
Best Classical Music Conductor
Carlos Klieber has very few recordings, but the ones in the catalog are extremely good. Dutoit is probably the best in French and ballet music today, curiously he avoids the main symphonic repertoire. Karajan was extemely verseatile, massive body ... 
Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well
Tube people to maximize benefits of inner tube under CDP, be sure and use torpedo level and make sure CDP is level when sitting on inner tube. If you put dampening weight on top, just shift it around by hand to get perfect level. For tube alone it...

MIT Term 2 speaker cables...Am I nuts???
Gjrad descibes the MIT sound very well, they sound "warmer" because the treble region has less emphasis than other cables, somewhat recessed instead of forward sounding, but still detailed. This would be very different sounding than say Kimber 8TC... 
Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well
CornFB because tube is 12" diameter under most CDP you will not see it. Because you control amount of inflation with hand pump any weight CDP can be accomadated. Put just enough air in tube so CDP feet are just cleared, tube will be very squished.... 
Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well
Any dept store that has small childrens bicycles will have 12" tubes for $6, you can also get hand air pump for $5, might as well get several tubes to experiment with.....sound effect is similar to vibrapods only better. 
Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well
If you want rich/full/3D sound buy 12" bicycle innertube and partially inflate so tube compresses greatly but clears CDP feet when used under CDP. CDP should sway gently when touched. You can put sandbag on top of CDp to dampen chasis vibration. H... 
Hidden Audiophile Classics
Yeast, I am a Rossini overture junkie, and have no doubt the Dutoit/Decca would be a fine collection. Almost every recording in the Dutoit/Decca line-up is of demonstration quality. I have the Dutoit CD of Suppe overtures which is quite good, the ... 
Creedence Clearwater Revival CDs
Craig, I have the CCR "chronicle" 20 greatest hits which was a 1994 remaster, and I thought it sounded pretty good considering how old some of the original material was. CD does not say what remaster technology was used. 
Hidden Audiophile Classics
Grumpy and Ohlala, for Hooverphonic I prefer "blue wonder power milk" same sound only better. By all means Dead Can Dance, but they are not hidden. Massive Attack "mezzanine" tour de force. Clan of Xymox "medusa" is indespensable. Cocteau Twins "v... 
MIT Tube Cables and Solid State Amps?
TubeGroover I own several brands of ICs including older MIT 330 series ICs, my listening is they have smooth top end, and the treble region is de-emphasized compared to regular ICs, giving the treble a slightly recessed sound, the detail is there ...
