Silver cables - Great price!!
I have heard rumors that Homegrown will offer pre-braided kits and a speaker cable kit. Any one have any info on this? I have Silver Solutions(no solder) running from Linn CDP to low-fi Denon Integrated to Magnepan MMG's. Have not been home enough... 
Mapleshade Recordings..GREAT or what?
Mapleshade Recording? Great! Mapleshade Artistic Content? Not so great! I admire Mapleshade for their recording techniques and daring recordings, but of the 4 Mapleshade CD's I have auditioned I only like one of them. Kendra Shank's "Afterglow" is... 
Building my own roomlens
The best instructions are on audioasylum.com I understand that you can build them using foam "noodles". Go to that site and look at the Tweaks Board. One of the more popular subjects there. Also on the Planer Speakers board, I think a guy named Ed... 
The NEW Magnepan MMGs??
I have the chrome rail MMG's and have been pleased so far. The only thing I have to do is wipe off the fingerprints. I cannot comment on whether mine are more rigid than the wood framed models but I can assure you that there has been no compromise...

Silver cables - Great price!!
Hey Trelja, what is the status on your Kimber KCTG knock off cable? I have assembled the Silver Solution kit and am currently evaluating them against my Linn cables. Initially a little more bright and revealing through my Maggies. I can't wait to ... 
DIY Equipment and Speaker Stands
Flexy-Table from www.tnt-audio.com check out the home theater discussion board for my explanation of this rack...best DIY rack around IMO. 
Hsu Research Subs w/ Electrostats
The Magnepan Users Group at audioasylum.com has discussed the Hsu sub at length and is worth a look. Briefly, it is usually highly rated and supposed to be a good company to deal with. Also, qaudio.com has a demo for $50 off retail. Good luck! 
Most achingly-beautiful music
It is awesome to see Aphex Twin mentioned twice here.Psilonaut and Aphex Twin are standouts on the "Pi" soundtrack. How about Metallica's "Call of the Cthulu(sic)" and Eddie Van Halen's "Spanish Fly" as two of the great rock guitar songs. 
ROGUE AUDIO 88 AMP
Hey Carl, what is your estimate on the power output from the Rogue to your MMG's? Does it have the juice to really satisfy them? I have been considering tube power to smooth mine out but have power concerns. I was considering some of the higher po... 
Cables, Interconnects and More Cables???
I agree with Carl. AudioAdvisor is practically giving away MIT cables. Check on their demo selection as well. Nordost is another choice but you will have to spend more. Good luck. 
Audio/Video Rack
The Flexy Table is an easy to build rack that can be found at www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/flexye.html It is similar in build to the Michael Green racks. The directions on the TNT-Audio site are in metric so here are the sustitutions I made. Get 3' s... 
Audio/Video Rack
Forget buying a rack when you can build a superb one on the cheap. I built a modified TNT Flexi-Table that holds over 300lbs of equipment and only cost about $120. Lots of mass, vibration control, and you pick the finish...who can ask for more. Ve... 
Mapleshade Recordings
