MIT Term 2 speaker cables...Am I nuts???
Do you have dirty AC Power? Do you use a conditioner? They help with muddy bass if caused by the power. A better power cord on the amp will help to if possible? 
Help!My systems sound too bright

Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS!
What is evident in all of Ken Burns' documentaries that we may not pick up on in "The Civil War" because it is a important part; is that Burns tends to spend a lot of time giving the viewer a civil rights lecture and putting a civil rights bent on...

Best Music Review Resource
