Kimber, Signal or Blue Jeans?
How can you even pass up on such a good deal on the Signal Cable Ultra cables? Go for it!! 
upgrade cables
Sgr,I began with Signal Cable Silver Resolutions between my CDP and an integrated amp that I do not have any more. With that, I had the Nordost 4 Flat bi-wires for my speaker cables. The Silver Res had replaced the Nordost Blue Heavens (on loaner ... 
upgrade cables
Langood,I highly recommend the Signal Cable Silver Resolutions. Been using them for years now. I have the same power amp as you - Parasound A21. The difference between these and the Analog Two, is that the Silvers have better resolution and imagin... 
Ayre, wow
I have heard neither of the amps you mentioned. But I prefer the speakers to disappear, rather than the sounds coming from them. For me, that is the magic of "stereo".But, to each his own. 
Biwire speakers
Check your speaker manual. If they mention that bi-wiring provides better sound, then go for it. I have experienced both and feel that bi-wiring did help - FOR MY SPEAKERS. 
Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac
That is something I would be wary of, Hornguys.I went ahead with GIK and have 2 tri-traps, 2 monster bass and 2 244 panels. Doing some listening and fine tuning the speaker positions before making sure I need or do not ned more panels. 
Any hope for SACD?
Give me a player like the Cary 306 SACD Professional Version and I wouldn't care about the formats. With the format wars, there is no hope for us. 
Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac
Kiwi,I think I have visited your system, multiple times when I was researching on room treatments. You have a great system and room. Thanks for the link. Will go through it. BTW, that site is on my Audio bookmarks. Nice site.I am a big believer in... 
Quad 21L vs. 22L2 Sonic differences?
22L2 is an upgrade from 22L. Similarly there is a 21L2 that is an upgrade from 21L.On the Quad sites, they now list 23L. The 21L2 and 22L2 are no longer shown. Some UK sites also sell 25L.http://www.quad-hifi.co.uk/Series.aspx?lang=En&Tab=L%20... 
Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac
I was listening late tonight and noticed that if I move my chair closer to the back wall, towards where I have the GIK Monster Panels installed, I get better bass definition. I was actually advised that I needed to move my chair at least 3 feet aw... 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
I find these speakers intriguing. Been keeping my eyes open for a review. I came across a recent article that mentions that they speakers may be made overseas:http://www.stereoaudio.com.au/evolution-acoustics-mmmicroone-loudspeaker/#more-254 
Listening Chair?
Notec,I have been using the Ikea Poang since 2004. Though I love it, the wife and kids want space in my room and I have been thinking of replacing it with either a love seat or small sofa. What advantages did you get with the sofa compared to the ... 
Cleveland, OH
Are you guy still active in the Cleveland area? 
Recommendations....like this CD
Wow....I am so glad that you guys too liked this CD. I will share this thread with my friend/colleague. He is not an audiophile and listens to this CD as background music.I am so envious of guys who get to visit New Orleans jazz clubs. My friend w... 
Great Cables ... That Get Little Attention
I second Sgr's suggestion of the excellent cables from Signal Cables. I have Signal cables all throughout the system. I have Silver Resolution ICs and Speaker cables. Also have Frank's HDMIs, though I am not a TV guy, it is for my family.The only ...
