Cable directionality
I have direction all speaker cables, and I have tried. I didn't hear anything, but i wouldn't be surprised if on some systems, it turns the sound South. 
Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs?
The only store in my immediate area that carries them is Borders and they are charging like $18.99. I will wait till i can get to Dallas before I buy one to see how it sounds. I found it odd that they don't say 'SACD' on the back of the box. Am I ... 
Sonic Relativism?
(I would prescribe ten of Haldol & one of Ativan for now, and two daily of Risperdol. No benzos, they are addictive to those with an addictive nature. See you back in six weeks.)Hey, I hate everyone that disagrees with me to. As far as impact,... 
Speakers for stargates?
I don't know eric, those candy-apple Merlin VSMs...Hey, who doesn't like a drink 
Need Help Jennifer Warnes & Cowboy Junkies Music
Hope Sandoval of/and Mazzy Star, maybe. 
The best way to design an audio system.
Well, because I am not an old timer I hesitated, but after learning nothing new here, maybe I am on the other side for this topic. To choose a system, I would try to audition as many types of systems I could, like esl, planar, dynamic, high-effici... 
Not too early to consider CES
Certainly a good excuse to go to Vegas. Can one see what hifi and stuff there is to see in two days? Four is pushing it for Ohlala and friends. 
Rules on Review...
Silly me. Forget my posts, I thought we were talking about something else. Sorry for the trouble, Jadem6. 
Rules on Review...
Yes, you were clear on your other equipment, but to review a component you have to know how it does with a multiple other components(systems) in addition to comparing it to same-type components, including those that are better than it in certain a...

Stones on SACD - Tempting?
I am on the cusp of buying a new CDP. The Stones and the groups that will follow them to SACD are an incentive to get an SACD player... Ya' know, SACD would be great if there were just more of them, and more players. And that is why I am still on ... 
Review: David Berning Co MicroZOTL Tube amp
Well, something isn't adding up here. It's laughable to think that the Micro is a colorless amp, but maybe you do not consider its coloration a weakness. This is a 'review', though, and I believe it is necessary to include any deviation from nothi... 
What will become of my beloved CDs?
My guess is that they will become retro-styled coasters. I'm going to miss some of those music stores, though. 
Questions - returning to analog
Tim, relative to other types of components (e.g. amps, CDPs) the return in good sound for higher quality, more expensive TT rigs is high. I am not you, but I would and have bitten the bullet. Are you in a position to listen to some players at a de... 
Which has a greater effect on music,int.amp or CD?
HD- the 'truth' of the recording can turn in to lies by the time the speakers get a hold of the signal. Ever play the game, telephone? It is more complicated than this (as in this thread), but good components lie less than bad ones. Good component...
