Where's My Bass?
Should i or shouldn't i ??? Let me put on my dancing shoes rather than my "stomping boots" : )Please keep in mind that these are strictly my opinions and worth slightly less than what you paid for them.The MSB DAC's are somewhat leaner and brighte... 
Is it worth it to buy the Cable Cooker?
Now THERE'S a "can of worms" : ) Sean> 
Stereolink rules
I have a question for you folks that have "audio systems" built into your computers: What do you use for speakers ? Sean> 
Is it worth it to buy the Cable Cooker?
Thanks for the kind words guys. I do what i can, when i can. What i have found is that if one shares honest opinions with any group of people, you are bound to step on someone's toes sooner or later. As such, i can see why some reviewers try to "s... 
Is it worth it to buy the Cable Cooker?
Obviously, Paul has a problem with me / my comments but is not willing to share what those problems are. At least not publicly. All i can say is that my email is always open to those that want to reach me, good or bad. Sean> 
Speakers for Rock
Whknopp0713: I agree that Heresy's ( or any other Klipsch / most horn speakers ) in stock form can be quite aggressive sounding. That is why i said "with some simple mods". You might be amazed at what changing the internal wiring and thoroughly da... 
Do I need more power?
Blkadr, thanks for throwing that bit of info into the fire. I was not aware of that aspect of their system and that might come into play. Since he has a "Magnum", which is supposed to be one of their "premium" models, i would assume that it should... 
Volume Control?
Well James, at over four times the price, i would hope so : ) Sean> 
Is it worth it to buy the Cable Cooker?
Paul, I did go and check out the "snake oil" section of the website that you mentioned. The owner of this shop seems quite level-headed and respectable.Quite honestly, i was a HARDCORE skeptic about some of the "tweaks" that i take for granted now... 
Is it worth it to buy the Cable Cooker?
Paulwp states: "Every product or tweak mentioned in this forum has its advocates. How should one decide to give any weight to one point of view or another?"I would suggest simply reading responses from those that post / respond on a regular basis.... 
Integrated's equipped for biwiring??
Sorry to get off topic here ( never stopped me before : ) but some receivers / inexpensive integrated's place their speaker A in series ( rather than in parallel ) with speaker B when both sets are engaged. As such, Boston didn't want to take any ... 
Volume Control?
The Placette is supposed to be very good from what i've read here. You might also want to think about a pair of Ultimate Attenuators from Ric at Electronic Visionary Systems. His website is http://www.tweakaudio.com and he can build you whatever v... 
Do I need more power?
The info that i have on the Sparks' state that they are a small two way with a 5" mid-woofer. If that is the case, you probably need more speaker, not more power. 60 "tube watts" should be enough to drive such a speaker well into break-up. I think... 
Record mats, VTA, clamps and my ears
Basement, thanks for kicking me in the head and knocking some sense into me. Sometimes i tend to look at things as trying to set them up for optimum performance and forget that not all components / installations are up to the task. As such, i need... 
Speakers for Rock
Vader, i'm simply basing my comments on what i've heard and experienced. I also took into account the scenario ( price range and associated components ) that the poster suggests. None of the Thiel's that i've heard have had any type of "slam" to t...
