| Silver I/Cs good match for Planet CDP?? I use a braided, teflon, silver stranded to a WBT type, home made inner-connect with great results, Total cost was around $25.00. Oh, BTW Kimber's cable cost $300 per meter. | |
| Magnepan Mg3.6 tweeters and fuses I play my Maggies at 100 dbs, on ocassions, with a Classe' amp and I never have a problem with blowing fuses. As a matter of fact, to improve the sound I have now by passed the fuse. However, at this time I would not recommend this for you. There ... | |
| Album of the year? Paul Simon, "Your the One." Has got to be one of the best sounding Rock album of all time. The percussion will hit you silly. Steely Dan, "Two Against Nature." This is one that only gets better and better after repeated listening. At first I wasn'... | |
