Cable Snake Oil Antidote
twochannel, you're right politics and audio don't mix or at least they shouldn't. 
Cable Snake Oil Antidote
I, for one, like snake oil. In fact I prefer it. Snakes don't seem to care for it much though. This may sound ridiculous but no more than this thread and countless others like it. We should officially drop this subject from Audiogon as a huge wast... 
Neil Young - Guitarist
IMO: He’s an excellent acoustic player. Electric is more idiosyncratic but I still like it. Been listening for many years. Neil be the man! (and Daryl be the squeeze) 
Mogami wire quality?
Sounds like the Mogami cheer leading squad has entered the building. 
Transport for Exogal Comet Plus DAC
The CEC line of redbook CD transports is worth looking into. 
DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
Would really be fun to see the Soekris DAC1541 included in this conversation. It has volume control and is available at a reasonable price even though it's their top model. 
Timbernation Platform Problems
Over the years four maple platforms here, never a problem. 
If your system were a car!
Land Rover Defender 110. 
How does a Transport effect sound?
I don’t know all the variables involved but I do know from experience that CD transports can and do sound different. Bits is bits? 
Cryo a power cord?

Best used or new DAC under $3500
Anyone heard the Soekris? 
NOS tubes
Not all NOS tubes sound better than current production. Some do. 
Whats playing on your system today?
Neil Young - Comes A TimeTaj Mahal - 1st albumBilly Corgan - Ogilala (my favorite recent album) 
Best Brahms Third Symphony
I like the agility of a chamber orchestra.  
Annoying sounds from cars at stop light
I especially enjoy when loose parts on the car vibrate with the beat.
