| DAC Balanced Cable Upgrade Question I would wait until the Gabriel Gold balanced ICs go up on Audiogon auction. There is a notice that this will be happening soon. You can probabably get them for a reasonable price and in my experience they are excellent. I think you would be happy ... | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? John and Ed,When I put new balanced Revelations in my system it took a good 3-4 months for them to bloom. Speaker cables of course should be quicker but be patient you will be rewarded. Oh I almost forgot, no such thing as break-in, it's all a myt... | |
| haunting/dark classical A little off the beaten path and more recent than those already mentioned; Silvestrov(sp?) from the Ukraine. Dark and brooding but not as "thick" as above mentioned romantics. I believe there are at least 3-4 CDs available. | |

| do blind tests have any practical significance How about an alternative to the blind test; the nearly blind or poorly sighted test where all participants are required to have poor eye sight and must turn their glasses or contacts in before listening. This would be a politically correct comprom... | |
| Morph The Cat-Bass Notes One thing I've learned Audphile, when I purchase a remaster I never get rid of the original until I've listened to the remaster a few times. I got burned too many times when the remaster sounded worse than the original. And, I believe this happens... | |
| Will Japanese power distributor work in US? I don't know the answer to your question, sorry. Be aware though, the shipping can be pretty stiff and you may have to pay US import duty. On the other hand, I buy a lot of stuff from Japan with no problem.But while you're searching around check t... | |

Although quite a few posts ran a little off topic, I can appreciate the views expressed. I agree that our trade relationship is unbalanced in favor of China. Witness o... | |
