Speaker wire is it science or psychology
Stevemj, I am interested to know, what is your system? 
Speaker wire is it science or psychology
I am going to need scientific proof that you can hear.

Chstob, are you sure the Arcam will offer a SACD upgrade? I checked it out on their site because I like Arcam and thought it sounded interesting. All I could find was that they may offer a upgrade to DVD-A in the future and this would require a ne... 
Silver or copper cables?
ALL CABLES AND AMPS SOUND THE SAME DEKAY!!!! Well as long as you don't turn them on they do....Or mabe they sound the same when dropped from 5 feet? No wait if it is a flat cable the thud wouldn't have as much weight would it? I do find that if I ...

I didn't like the affect on my system, less air, not as dynamic. Plus like some of the above posters it is really easy to get stuck in the player. 
Speaker Fetish
Pcc, just keep telling yourself that you are about done, just a couple of more things..... Yea, just one more drink, I 'll stop, I swear it. Looks like we are going to have to do another intervention!!

Thanks Estmad, my amp definately dims the lights at power up so this will be a problem. I knew it sounded too good to be true. 
Stereo sounds better than 5.1?
For the cost of doing 5.1 right, you can do 2 channel way better. I prefer the stage to be in front of me, not surrounding me. Movies are another story, but for music my vote is for 2 channel. You tell Tireguy to keep it nice right after you qesti... 
The BEST system you've ever built !!!!
Pcc, upgraded to a used ARC LS-15 since that last post, also since this was balanced I have ordered Transparent "Ultra" balanced to link with the amp and upgrade to single ended Ultra between cd/amp. Hope to upgrade the speaker wire next. Thanks f...

Bmpnyc, good to hear from you, we seem to have the same interest in a lot of gear! I am going to go ahead and order one of these and take my chances since there is a 30 day money back policy. Unfortunately I think they are back ordered untill mid ... 
MIT bashed, not Transparent, why?
I agree with you Pops, whenever using MIT or Tranaparent they seem to work better if you do the whole system. Glad to hear of your success.
