High End jargon; your take
Yep- That's what we thought! 
rca plugs - comparisons?
Stick with Wonder Solder UltraClear or WBT's Solder also. 
CD has laid back and uninvolving sound
Dazzdax- If you've never read this article in Stereophile, it may give you some insights as to what's missing. (http://www.stereophile.com/reference/23/index.html) If your system delivers the dynamics you enjoy via vinyl, you may need to address y... 
New Fuse Thread . . .
Who had that special going? Thanks, in advance, for the info!

I usually try to do what nine out of ten of the voices in my head tell me....... I'd better go listen to some music! =8^)

Britain doesn't have a monopoly on wacky laws either. Here are some that are on the books in the good old U S of A: In Rhode Island it is illegal to use the adjectives "small," "tiny," "teensie-weenie," "runt," "dwarf," "midget" or "shrimpy" when ...

Ultimate test of your system image
Sbank- The UPC was identical on both my son's, and my copy of Amused to Death. Possibly they came from different stamping plants, or mine was produced from a 15th generation(degraded) master. Who knows? 
Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment
Mr E- Yeah, There's no doubt that they do work, and very well(hard for me to swallow, given my reactions to some of Amar's past concoctions). Did he learn advertising at MIT too? 
Which is better longer xlr or speaker cable
CK- Belligerent? I merely stated a fact. Of course I acknowledge that everything produced(whether audio or video software) is processed via balanced circuitry. Every live(reinforced) music venue, recording, engineering, or production facility that... 
Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment
Douglas- He and I have picked at one another in good humor for some time now. I'm certain he's old(and intelligent) enough to defend himself, thank you. Credit? Look up "KUDOS" in your Funk and Wagnalls. 
Which is better longer xlr or speaker cable
Ckorody- Then you should know that THE ONLY benefit of balanced cable is the reduction of RFI/EMI noise via common mode rejection/cancellation. The quality of the interconnect WILL STILL have a major affect on the quality of the audio presentation...
