| Touch up rust spots in black steel speaker stand? Everybody,Thanks for the suggestions.Stanwal: I went to Lowes to see what they recommended. I looked at Naval Jelly but the packaging said not to use it on painted surfaces. 6550c: I've used the "Sharpie" method, too, for scratches on black metal.... | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? Martykl,How could I have forgotten Terry Kath? | |
| What songs do you never get tired of? Pretty much anything from Donald Fagen's "Nightfly" album. Astonishing writing. | |
| Any smooth jazz fans out there? Frogman said,Why don't we hear the same criticism of milktoast "jazz" performers like a Diana Krall. Please, is that really good jazz singing? Have her fans listened to Shirley Horne lately? Give me a break. Oh, wait! I forget. Krall has much bett... | |
| Best tracks to "show off" your system Yeah, "2 Against Nature" is pretty hard to beat. I also love the original soundtrack recording of "Princess Mononoke" on the Milan label (Red Book CD). | |

| Morrow SP1 or SP2 cable vs Speltz Anti-Cable? Knownothing,Yeah, sorry, the thread's kind of a mess. To bring some order to it. Bobby Palkovich, owner and designer at Merlin, recommended the 9 gauge, copper speaker wire. Actually, he particularly recommends some flavor of Cardas wire, but that... | |
| Morrow SP1 or SP2 cable vs Speltz Anti-Cable? Foster_9,Thanks for the post. I am so far stumped trying to find 9 gauge, simple, stranded, copper speaker wire. I've seen 10 gauge, such as Vampire Wire. If anybody knows of 9 gauge speaker wire, I'd love to know! | |
| Morrow SP1 or SP2 cable vs Speltz Anti-Cable? Thorman,Cardas is out of my price range for the foreseeable future. In lieu of that, Bobby Palkovich of Merlin recommended "single wire, radially wound copper and around 9 gauge. no silver, ribbon or big gauge solid core."So I'm wondering now what... | |
