Ejlif interesting choices, 99.9% of people here don't know who Coil is (or Pink Dots) But since I hung out at Wax Trax in Chicago, the industrial music center of the USA, I had some Coil records and LPD

Trelja, check 7/30 AP subject with 27 posts, I go into detail there, obviously I like them because I bought double runs for my Musical Fidelity X-AS100 monoblocks, but I am no expert, except in knowing what I like for my system, regards Sam 
Analysis Plus Speaker cables
Sean, don't understand your "vendetta" against AP? Using variation in design configuration or conductor size is not unusual or bad. Look at the back cover of any current Audio mag and look at AQ new cable line. Many different conductor sizes and d...

Feelings on Napster?
Eldragon, that excuse doesn't wash, hear all the samples you want for free, use the legal "real audio" samples provided at CD internet store sites......thats why they have them......there is no reason why you need to record them if you are going t... 
Cardis or Silver Audio
