Sakasara... I replaced a Straightwire Super HDMI cable. 
Favorite HDMI cable under $100/M?
If you look at The Cable Company website, you'll see that the Wireworld Starlight 5.2 HDMI cables are presently being sold at deep discounts. I picked one up and found it to be much better than what I had. 
HiFi tuning fuses, some benefits help
A few weeks ago I installed the silver HIFI Tuning fuses in my Theta Casablanca II, Theta Compli, and Theta Intrepid. It just seemed like the logical thing to do.In so many words, my system immediately sounded more refined, and over the past few w... 
Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Anyone know what Vol. ?
Mine is the Proprius PRCD 7778 CD that I purchased at Quintessence Audio Ltd (Naperville, Illinois) over 20 years ago. Mine is one CD containing 9 songs that were recorded at the Stampen Jazzclub (Stockholm)in 1976. 
Who can repair older Theta
Glory... That's good news for Theta owners. There are numerous mentions on the internet about Tom Tutay, but nothing about how to contact him. Does he have a Website? 
HRS Isolation damping plates
Every time HRS damping plates were listed on Audiogon, I missed the opportunity to buy them. In the interim, I purchased damping disks from Herbie's and they do work as advertised. I would however like to try the HRS damping plates to see if there...

More female vocals
Take a listen to Leslie Mendelson's CD "Swan Feathers", and any one of the three CD's by Katie Melua. Every song on the Leslie Mendelson CD is a keeper, but I find the words and melody on the two songs "Rest Of London" and "If I don't Stop Loving ... 
Any Tom Waits Fans?
I’m a huge fan... especially Tom’s early stuff… but I have to say his Glitter & Doom Live is a bit too much for me. His Orphan’s CD shows off his genius in of all things writing songs for childrens' movies… while at the same time it includes a... 
Review: Theta Compli Blu vs Oppo BDP-83 SE
Cmalak... I've been a Theta guy for a long time but I've got to side with you that at first glance $2,000 is a lot to pay for the above listed enhancements. It would be really interesting to see side by side photos of the interior of an OPPO BDP-S... 
Review: Theta Compli Blu vs Oppo BDP-83 SE
As evidenced in the following paragraph copied from Theta’s website, what differentiates Theta from Lexicon is the fact that Theta has always been up-front about the fact that they use third party units as a platform for their products. The below ...
