| VD nite power cable?? Metal mesh is the earlier Nite model, sliver plastic mesh is the later model. Eventually a new Nite II model was released.Unfortunately the metal mesh will begin to fray in areas that are repeatedly bent at smaller radius. | |

| CD duplicate... Jea48While your wallet is out.........I just picked up a Bedini Quadri Beam and it is noticeably better than old dual beam, another tool for CD enhancement worth owning. | |
| CD duplicate... I have had very good success running two CD-R decks for direct duplication between decks. Requires purchase of $90 external CD-R deck and quality USB 2 cable. Use computers CD-R to read data and outboard CD-R to record (write) at speed slow enough... | |

| CD duplicate... I have not experimented with home audio dual deck CD recorders, and not sure how they compare to computer copied CD-R. Be interested to hear anyone who has tried both methods and which they prefer. | |

| CD duplicate... I will join the camp that says under certain conditions a CD-R copy can sound better than original CD, especially a poorly recorded one.There is an article in current Positive Feedback about completely tweaked out CD-R unit from company called "Re... | |
| Good Low Level Resolution Speakers under $2K used. Have you considered high quality headphones like Senn 650 with good headphone amp? I use this when main system volume must be low, for home office etc. You can get very high end sound for $1,500 budget. | |
| jumpers differ brand from the spkr cable No problem in my book using different brand of cable for short jumper. Keep in mind that inside you speaker the wires from binding posts to speakers/crossover are surely different brand of wire, so nothing wrong with using different jumpers.Most a... | |
