Wilson sophia fuse
or you could order the appropriate value from partsconnexion.com the DUELUND brand...i don't know how they'll fit, but knowing how caddocks normally sound in the signal path, i have no doubt that most anything would be an improvement. ----props to... 
Hi End rack really deliver?
don't think of it as a rack. a rack is like a drill. and when you buy a drill, you don't buy a drill. you buy holes...the rack is to do 2 things (aesthetics excluded): safely support equipment, and isolate gear from horizontal & vertical vibra... 
What speaker cables for Wilson Sophia 2s ?
would think prana would be exceptional. cosmos if you got the $$, or nataraja (which i thought bested jorma primes, transparent ref MM, and others) if not. they're silver, but not bright, which should mate very well w/ darkish lamm amps. also, the...

i'll say this: dave wilson knows how to run an audio mfg like an auto mfg; new models every year! (at least dave stages his releases) 
Best lines in a song
two that come to mind:"i dont own the clothes i'm wearing" --ABB from midnight rider."goodbye all you punks, stay young & stay high. hand me my checkbook and i'll crawl off to die"---the who from 'they are all in love'---really sums up pete's ... 
XLR Connector Comparison
i've seen enough high dollar cables to know that neutriks are a valid solution. cost is not the reason IME. its that they do the least wrong.the only people who can fairly comment on which connector sounds the best are those who've constructed sam... 
How can I improve my CD sound?
you will get much more enjoyable sound out of CDs when you A) address vibrationsB) address noise on AC / groundlots of ways to do it---but you have to experiment. inner tubes under a maple butchers block for vibration is a nice cheap tweak, and i'... 
Still miss ya JG even after all these years
absolutely. the thing that's funny is listening to GD you can see the logical breaks in JG's style. towards the end he was the grizzled but reluctant frontman, in stark contrast to the quasi-5-headed monster of the late 70s.my fave years were the ... 
Hobbies other than Audiophiliac?
have done weightlifting, running, mountain biking (fun), surfing (lots of fun), but have found playing the guitar (now for 2 months) has made me even more of an audiophile.turning the system real loud and playing along is more fun as any listening...

Build me a system for my 11' by 15' room
budget $300 for DIY room acoustic treatments, and build that first. see jon risch's web site for details. see my rig; i'm in the same size room as you, and you'll see that room treatments are extensive, and allow the room to act much bigger than o... 
Halcyonics under my tt. Wow
a marginally inflated inner tube under a shelf that supports the source equipment (or preamp) has consistently proven a major winner. --its not like norm's, but the principle is the same: removing microvibrations in the line level gear is well wor...
