| What cables play nicely with Acoustic BBQ? @acman3, thanks. I see that High Fidelity cables get some love, but, yes, they are more than I care to spend. I have no experience with DIY cable assembly, but I wouldn’t call on Bill in his retirement for assistance. @carlsbad, thank you for th... | |
| What cables play nicely with Acoustic BBQ? @lalitk, thanks for your assessment. Did you ever have a chance to use either of those cables in a setup that included any Acoustic BBQ signal cables? I am curious about that synergy within a system, even acknowledging that no one else will have m... | |
| Favorite cable brand. I don’t have a lot of experience with entire looms, as opposed to mix-and-match, but I have had Zu Cable and Acoustic BBQ looms. Audiogoner Bill Dion used to make the Acoustic BBQ; while I gather he no longer does, you still can find some of his p... | |

| Best integrated for rock music under $1,500? i have a Creek 5350SE and it's a lovely amp that gets harmonics right. However, the ONE form of music for which I will not recommend it is rock. It is because the Creek sounds so reticent and almost "slow" with fast-paced music that I am in the ma... | |
| San Francisco Bay Area Audio Society I had a recent email exchange with the Club president in which he told me that it was likely the Club had just had its last meeting before disbanding. I have heard nothing from the Club since then, so I assume it went ahead and disbanded. If anyon... | |
| Infinity 2.6 Intermezzo specs and sound... They sound a bit bright in my room with a Creek 5350SE, Grace F9E-L cartridge, and, especially, CEC CD player. I tame them somewhat with interconnects. Otherwise, they are detailed and the bass is substantial for a small system, although it benefi... |
