Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions"
Thanks for the kind words Al. Agree or disagree, always a class gentleman.Not to beat an already weary horse but if you read through others experience, you will find the same character describing certain brands of cords. So beyond my personal expe... 
Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions"
Al...I was specifically referring to power cables in my comments. There is not a doubt in my mind that most brands of power cords have a sonic character...regardless of what piece of gear they are powering. I do understand that if you approach thi...

External Hard Drive Search Frustration. Help
Jax2's advice is important, whatever you decide, make sure you duplicate one way or another.I also use OWC enclosures, specifically the Mercury Pro Elite. From what I read on Computeraudiophile.com, the chipset used in this enclosure is ideal for ... 
"Hidden Gems"'
I have a few hidden gems to add here. These are going to be atypical of the music often referenced here but thought some may enjoy a little exploration of some fresh genres...Axs "Arctic Circles" - A beautiful ambient record with a touch of dub te...

Obrown...I paid around 20 for it. Give me a few and I will see if I can dig up where. Thats ridiculous.

Mike60...I have that along with another of the Audrey's albums. Very cool band. Apparently they are pretty popular in Australia but don't get much play in the US. I learned of them through Radio Paradise and ironically love the song Paradise City....
