BESIDES MOFI WHATS THE BEST L.P.s?
Oddly enough, some sources of great sounding vinyl is on labels least expected. So many of the OJC jazz re-releases are just a pleasure to listen to. Seldom, if ever are domestic albums, especially late 80s, worthy of listening to. At least I have... 
What AC Power Cord sounds best?
I have had great sucess with FIM power cables. replaced my Electraglide Fatboy, Siltech, Marigo and NBS. 
Vinyl or wait for the new stuff??
Before you resign to second best, attempt cajoling a dealer into an audition. Once you hear the warmth, depth and tonal accuracy that is achieved with a great vinyl rig, going back to the digits will be tough. Very, very expensive to achieve top e... 
Most Honest Audio Magazine?
I used to be enamored with Absolute sound. During the late 80s, early 90s Pearson and company ran a great mag. Objective, straightforward, and at times hard hitting. Last month they ran a letter I wrote and to my surprise they revised enough of it...

I was knocked out by KD Lang's ternary; "Even Cowgirl's Get The Blues", "Ingenue", and "All You Can Eat". Although, much if her music is overproduced, having seen her live has helped me appreciate her range and emotional expression. Roseanne Cash'... 
SACD's: Recomendations, ones to avoid
Mofi Ellington is one of the best I have heard. Many of those I own or listened to at audio shop ahve sounded over engineered. Much like a vast number of new vinyl re-releases the mixing is excessive, bringing out too much of what the producer may... 
Has anybody heard the FIM power cords?
I tried s handful of ower cables, but none extracted the sonic improvements of the FIMs. I have "formed" two into my system for mono blocks. Ten day to two week break-in period for much of it's realization. Can't say enough about improvement throu...
