Power Cable for Wadia 860X
Have both the BMI WHALE Elite mk2 and SHARK on my WADIA 861cd player. The Whale sounds nice, but the Shark is head and shoulders. The results were amazing in the imaging and resolution department. Detail and accuracy increased without being bright... 
Cable recommendation for Classe-Sonus Faber set up
I have both Classe and Krell gear with my Sonus Faber Amati Homage speakers. I use "Transparent Reference" biwired spkr. cable. All "Audioquest Diamond" balance interconnects. And all "BMI Whale Elite" power cords. With perfect neutralness, and sy... 
Recommedations please for a power cord for amp.
I second the BMI Whale Elite. Offers great results in a world class power cable.Happy & Better New Year in 2002 to all the fabulous people I met through the Audiogon ! 
Help on premium cd player
Buy a Marantz SA-1 player, if you can find one. Great sound , built like a tank, and sets the standard. If a hi-end American company copied this piece you are looking at a +$15K tag. The sound is great on both CDs & SACD. The parts and dac are... 
Marantz SA14 or used CD player?
I second that. The Marantz SA-1 is a wonderful CD player in every aspect. Great sound in both formats CD/SACD. Beautifully build quality, like a tank and definitely worth every penny. I sold my two piece Levinson digital setup after I bought the M... 
Best power cables for Krell?
I use BMI Whale power cables on my Krell 300S amp & Krell KBL preamp. Compared about a dozen others in the past year and ended with the Whales. Bigger Bass & extension , smoother highs and more natural mids-vocals. The presentation & s... 
Best power cord to use with a Krell preamp.
I use the BMI Whale Elite mk.1 power cables on my Krell 300S amp and KBL preamp. It's a perfect match giving depth and big bass out of my Thiels 5i's. 
Pink Floyd's "Echoes"
Echoes is superb in the detail-accuracy and soundstage. But MoFi DSOM , Wall & Meddle is still smoother top end and more natural sounding-especially vocals. 
Are there any MFSL bootleg copies around?
Yes, there are many MFSL CD & Gold CD bootlegs. I don't call them bootlegs, they are Frauds. I saw on E-Bay people selling Beatles on Gold Ultradisc CDs and Rolling Stones which were Never on UltraDisc. I've seen the fake Floyd MFSLs at a reco... 
The best Subwoofer
The Wilson subs do everything right. Not too bomy but very natural sounding. 
SS Monoblock 100+W as cheap
Pick up a pair of used Eagle 400 (400 watts) mono blocks. They have a lot of guts and if you can find for less than $1000 you have a steal. I use to have them about 10yrs ago and sorry I sold them. 
Recommended power cord for Cary
I second Mr.Lak's opinion. Currently have all Whales in my solid state system and just picked up through auction another 3-footer for my Richard Gray line conditioner. I am very happy with the improvements the Whales did in my audio system. But, K... 
which powercord? jps,esp,shunyata....?
I had Cardas Golden power cords a few years ago. I bought them used and couldn't wait to resell them. The Cardas Golden colored the music and lacked soundstage. I recently bought some Whales and all I can say is WOW. The vocals were more natural a... 
Best Sax Jazz
Sonny Rollins is my favorite. Super smooth and like butter. I worked in the studio with him for several years. But there are a lot of other great ones. 
Promo Pressings
Promo pressings are usually the best recordings. I had worked in the recording industry for 25 yrs.
