BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000?
ARE YOU GUYS ALL SALESMAN??!! 
BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000?
Whatjd, I think your analogy is not logical. Your first anaogy would make sense if you were talking about amplifiers or speakers etc. If you are comparing a 50 foot run of cheap wiring terminated with a few feet of exotic power cord then I would m... 
Soliloquy 5.3 Linn Ninka or B W? Help?
To my ears B&W sounds very mid-fi. Linn and solioquy are much more refined sounding. I understand that B&W is actually not nearly as highly regarded in the UK(where it is made) as it is in the USA where uh, BOSE is made. I don't mean to eq... 
BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000?
Seriously - can anyone explain how an exotic cable could possibly be beneficial when the outlet it is plugged into is wired with standard 12 or 14 guage conductor through a series of twisted connections? Vegasears comment seems logical to me. It m... 
BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000?
Bmpnyc - If a house is wired with standard 12 or 14 guage conductor, what difference could dangling some insanely expensive power cord at the end of it possibly make. Honestly! It doesn't make sense. A power chord is a conductor not a generator. U...

presumably the best cord would be the same stuff your house is wired with at 30 cents a foot, would it not? 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
I agree that MOST music out there is pure pap with no worthwile musical content - but, anyone eager for creative inspired music can find it in abundance, and in many genres-you just have to look for it. If you can get CBC FM radio from Canada you ... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
There is one notable exception to the rule that audio gear is not status-related enough to attract the interest of non-audiophiles. B&O. Some people absolutely covet the stuff and I am sure none of them have ever heard a truly good Hi-Fi syste... 
Is anyone familiar with Ixos cables?
I demo'ed Ixos Gamma 6002 Bi-wire Cable with my all-Linn system and it really brought things to life. I ended up getting Linn K400 but I am still curious as to whether the Ixos may have sounded better - never had them both at the same time. It was... 
college kid needs help with budget amps
Get a good used integrated - Linn Majik, Audiolab 8000, Naim Nait, etc. All for around 500 -600$ and will outperform big mid grade separates in terms of purity of sound.

Oops, didn't mean to resend that... 
Love of MUSIC or love of GEAR
I have been a starving audiophile. When I was 21 I bought my first real hi-fi system. A then ten year old quad 33/303/fm3 system with misson 77's that I paid $425CAN for. Still love the way it looks... and sounds, but I have moved on since then.

Sarah Brightman Concert
We don't want to be reminded of real music, thank you very much. 
One more BI-WIRE question
Rega also does not make provisions for bi-wiring. They state that there is no advantage in it - at least for their designs. One would hope that if a manufacturer is able to design an excellent pair of speakers that it was not by accident, and that...
