Curio on my system the Cardas Golden Reference deadened the music. Perhaps that is your problem.

The only CDs that I don't care for are ones that are poorly produced. All genres of music work fine. If you get the sound right, warmth comes naturally for singers, cellos, and sax's. The violins will sound lean or warm depending on the note.

Elizabeth, let's go your way. I like any Julie London CD for breathy singing. It is a good challenging CD. Another singer that challenges is Katie Malua. One person I know told me he hates her singing. "Sounds like she is singing from the bottom o...

Ok, almost any CD containing Julie London will give the listener a wide range of breathy voice blessed by the gods. How about more in this vane.

I believe as you do, Opus88, that most of what is sold in audio messes with the real music not enhance it. I am almost a lone preacher on the necessity of the simplest path for the music signal. Anything thrown in the way attempting to improve the...

Jim, you are assuming too much. Jax2 in his summation of what I am hearing is spot on. Elizabeth brings up a salient point, but I don't think she assumes a system can do a realistic pistol firing while carrying a voice to full fruition. Bass has l...

I painted a Central Mexico high peak that has a Christian church on top of a Native American temple. A view of a hidden temple in the Yucatan Peninsula. A Macaw parrot I imaged at the Sacramento Zoo.A hacienda veranda looking out at out buildings ... 
Thin speaker cable
I wasn't satisfied with anything on the market, so I made my own .003" 12 gauge SC. The thinner the cable, the wider it has to be. Mine are 1.5" wide. IC wire requirements are very different from SC requirements. Paint won't do for SCs.

Hey, Deltatrippers, please check out the La Fuentes restaurant at 99 and Elk Grove for me. I can't drive, and am wondering what might have happened to my murals. There were three big ones and a smaller one too.

Ral, are you local? I need Deltatrippers to come here for a listen before he goes out buying amps for trial purposes. If you have the money, audio stores will allow you to, "Buy," amps with full agreement you are likely to return it.

Deltatrippers, we moved in my Mother just last year. It is an adjustment. Things are going well here.I did a set of murals at an Elk Grove Restaurant by the name of La Fuente. If I understand correctly, the front renovation of the strip mall may h...
