| Audioquest upper end copper IC's sound ???? Anaconda - very forward and somewhat grainy. Strong bass, low resolution.Python - more neutral than Anaconda, but overall just sort of dull.You can do a lot better than AQ for the money. Try Audience, Acoustic Zen, Cardas, or Kimber. If you're con... | |
| What is your most beautiful component? Rowland Synergy IIi. The sound is stunning also. | |
| Best piano version of Moonlight Sonata? Thanks everyone, for your excellent recommendations! I spent a large portion of today at Amazon researching each one and had a blast doing it. One thing I can't figure out - why is the Goode so polarizing? It seems some people love it and others c... | |
| best non guitar rock solo How about the drum solo in Edgar Winter's Frankenstein? | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Thanks Tvad, I'll check it out. Have you ever heard Morse's "High Tension Wires"? This showed me what a virtuoso Morse is. The cut Tumeni Notes is amazing. | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Overall, my favorite is Pat Metheny. I've been listening to his music since "As Falls Wichita So Falls Wichita Falls came out in 1981. His recent CD "One Quiet Night" is beautiful. I listen to it over and over. Other favorite guitarists, in no par... | |
| Calling all acoustic guitar fans... Here's another one, Tony McManus - "Ceol More". Tony is a Celtic guitarist with unbelievable technique. This is sort of a blend of traditional Celtic music and jazz. Everyone I play this CD for loves it. | |

| y cables, are they dangerous Bigjoe, do you have an electronic crossover, or does the tweeter panel have a crossover built-in? You can damage tweeters by running a full-range signal into them without a crossover. At the very least it won't sound good, even if they're not dama... | |
| Speaker Wires on Carpet You guys got me curious, so I tried it this afternoon with upside down ceramic coffee cups (Thanks Audiobugged). I'm actually a little surprised at how easy it is to hear the effect. Transients, like acoustic guitar plucks, are more dynamic. The o... | |
| Poor man's reference DAC Have you heard the Meridian G08 CD player? You might like it better than a DAC. I haven't heard the 588 but others have said the G08 is quite a step up from the 588. I am using the G08 with a Rowland Synergy IIi and Model 10 and the combination is... | |
| Amplifier and preamplifier for Wilson Watt puppy 7 Move your speakers forward from the wall at least 1.5m. Space them apart about 2.5m. Sit about 3m away. This should help. | |
| Malfunctioning Microprocessors? Shh. Not so loud. You don't want to make the ones in your car mad, do you? | |
| Cardas Golden Cross vs. Golden Hexlink 5C Kurt, your idea is good, but I'm not sure Golden Ref is the best choice. It is more neutral than Golden Cross for sure, but compared to just about anything else on the market it is a warm sounding cable. Cardas' own Neutral Ref is a more neutral c... | |
