Wiring two post speakers with biwire cable
Most amps with 4 binding posts for easy bi-wiring are coming out of the same circuit inside the amp (they're just split into 4), so I agree what Bob is saying is OK. (And don't reverse the direction). 
Greatest Songwriter of all time
Irving Berlin. Wrote more good songs than the rest combined. (If they live to 101 also, they may catch up).Dolly Parton should be on the list also. A lot of her songs have been performed by others and not her, so there are a lot more great songs o...

Wiring two post speakers with biwire cable
What cables do you have? I would say Yes, go ahead and connect all four. Unless it is a BiWire only brand of cable, the Biwire post versions that are a single cable are the same cable as the standard cable, just terminated for Bi-wire. Many cables... 
Help me find this sound
You could send your Link II to Stan Warren, and for $250 your DAC will sound like one costing much much more. Stan Warren's contact information is available at: http://www.aloha-audio.com/Linkstxt.htmlThere is also Dan Wright at http://www.modwrig...

The Best of Naxos' classical catalog
Pick your favorites I guess, but the current Decca reissues that are good are the ones under the "Decca Legends" label. Just before these were "The Classic Sound" Decca releases which are just as good IMHO.

Jumpers on B&W CDM 1
I agree to Bi-Wire whether with BiWire cables or two runs of single cable. If you must use jumpers you could also use a short length of the same wires you're using if possible. Places like Walker Audio have silver jumpers which are better than the... 
feedback on modified icon
All Stan Warren cares about is the Burr Brown DAC in the Pioneer. So you can get the entry level model for $150. His mods are $250. So your're only talking $400. It will destroy any CD player under $1000. It should be fine for your system. A cheap... 
The Best of Naxos' classical catalog
As I sort of stated above, I like many Naxos because they are never over produced. I do find some that don't sound good, but same is true will all labels.I also have a few MHS LPs. They are pretty good. A lot of the MHS CDs are reissue of disconti... 
The Best of Naxos' classical catalog
I agree 100%. Another big big plus which is probably a benefit of being a budget label, is that I have never if hardly ever heard an over-produced Naxos CD, of the kind I complain about with many Deutche Grammophone, etc. They just about put the r... 
Has anyone hooked satellite radio to their system?
Danner, Kind of like PBS television. No commercials they claim, but they advertise their own upcomming programing every half hour and then spend at least 2 minutes before each program telling you all about the company who gave the grant money to m... 
Best CD's of 2001: Classical
Thanks Scott for the info !!!!Not so much that they love the Brits; it is the fact the American orchestras are not getting the recording contracts.Quiz: I know one big reason why. Do you?

I was referring to XFM.
