A minor rant
Let us go back to us audiophiles. Are we the ones whoes system cost much more than the software it plays? Say 10k softare played on 50 K hardware. Now that would be stupid to non audiophiles or come to think of it even us audiophiles. "Tweak less,...

John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense"
Recently I had this eye opener experience. I have only two power outlets behind my wall of audio equipment. so I got $40.0 power strip from Radio shake so I can connect some components from outlet on side wall( not very high end!) I hooked up my c... 
Stereophile
Been there. Done that. It is frustrating! To add insult to an injury, Stereophile has become incredibly shrinking magazine. Usually done reading in 2-3 days and the wait begins. Lately it is almost always late and inconsistent delivery. Have start... 
What does State of the Art mean to you?
My definition of SOTA is the system that has the Ability to Reproduce Live Music closest possible. Price does not matter. Brand names does not matter and THE TECHNOLOGY USED TO GET THERE DOES NOT MATTER. IT IS THE SOUND STUPID!No offense to any on... 
Can $15,000 Sound As Good As $75,000?
Yes. When you have Lexus SC430 equipped with ML sound system to go for the remaining dough. Or a Zanzibar Red Porsche Boxter S to go. No Really, with lot of luck, well researched, well combined system can perform as good as 75 K system. 
Music Metre Fidelus digital cable
I concurr with Kalan's comments. I had the MM cable. The sound was great . Of course I wanted to improve it. Bought MIT T3 digital, too blurry. Bought much more expensive MIT digital reference. Sound came much closer to the MM but still not as goo... 
Power Cord Review

Monoblocks did not work
Zippyy has the correct definition of the Horizontal biamping. In that one amp used severely (lows)than the other (highs).Vertical biamping on the contrary has each amp driving highs and lows on each of their L/R channels, so that both amp are used... 
Monoblocks did not work
I called Classe to day and asked for their opinion on the subject. " two much power for easy load speaker" they said. If I had hooked up to difficult load , it would have sounded better. Robert Adam re-iterated his recommendation if vertical bi-am... 
Monoblocks did not work
Thx you all for your input. Garfish, Classe does have switch for mono/stereo operation as well as Balanced/RCA operation. Am running Balanced. Radio shake would have Y-splitter for balanced configuration? Will check it out. Redwiki, I don't know a... 
Monoblocks did not work
Sean and Snook2 I bridged each amp to form one big channel. Amps are bridgable. Gregm thaks for the tip, I will be sure to look it up. I should mention that, Classe did recommend Vertical biamp than the monoblocks. But need, Two sets of interconne...
