Cable suggestions? Opinions needed...
Same is obviously said by hundreds of pro recording engineers for the Canare Star-Quad microphone cable as interconnects, as well their speaker cables. Both the Canare and Mogami are great bargains.

Fascinating, Cello. I know it's all relative, but $350 for a $25 product still hits the other side of my brain too hard!That you're running single-ended instead of taking advantage of the balanced operation is also certainly a factor not easy to d... 
Power Cords Snake Oil ??
Ok, let's get simple here and assume that resonance control is the next big thing, and that part of it involves the total length (organ pipe) primary resonance. How do you individually tune out this resonance for EACH different length of PC? Are y... 
Ground loop, cheater plugs, power cords, many ques
Easy, Jeb. Hate to be around when the insurance appraiser discovers this if there's ever a fire! Better to "cheat" the ground in the PC or component than the house-wiring! 
Home Theater speaker system choice - help
I started at the $100-300 per satellite level with Def Tech, PSB, et al, but ended up with an all-Spendor front trio (S3/1p + SC3) because of the beguiling midband and softness up top for all that too-bright HT programming.Used prices about $1200 ... 
Question about B&W Nautilus 805's without stands
Hang on. The issue is whether or not the 805 sound good with rear boundary support. They are NOT voiced for that big upper-bass bump that will result. I tried several manufacturers' supposed "surround" speakers that seemed to be just reconfigured ... 
is a subwoofer for music a good idea??
Great post, Sd.1. Depends upon your monitors' abilities, and of course whether there's any musical programming below their LF performance cutoff. 2. Sufficient? Probably. Will it sound integrated and tight?Not easy to accomplish.3. No. Subs are mo... 
Best monitor for HT
Hmmm...I found the 805 to be quite bright for HT use, where there's simply an excess of top octave junk. Spendor S3/1p L&R and their SC3 center certainly work great for me, and NEVER fatigue. I just don't have to worry as much about lousy sour... 
Noise in an old NAD 3020
Check for bad caps in the power supply? 
Omnidirectional speakers. The future?
Like mom's apple pie, Jer.Great posts, Zaikes, Duke. 
Tuner choices? Help me please
Is that there "S" line expensive one? If so, I'd hope it would perform at least as well as the old Monitor ones. I can't remember, but think the Monitor tuner alone was called the 4300? Ern

Great! Would love to hear your thoughts...especially if you have a buddy who can help single-blind it. 
Ground loop, cheater plugs, power cords, many ques
PS also has "borrowed" my PRELUDE PC name. Sigh.... 
wnat to downgrade my cables
Great post, Trelja! I just got an email from another "Stuart" who insists upon spending $500-1000 for a PC. Funny coincidence. Happy New Year.

Interesting to see the 4 day breather we all took. 2003 took some getting over for me, too....Corona, you even hyperbolized my words back on 12/21 too!My "statement" Prelude and Fugue PCs take 2+ hrs to build, using all-Teflon insulations and a hi...
