Have experience with the MAS GRAY interconnect?
I don't think anyone said they are harsh. What I believe was said is that they won't help a harsh sounding component like some digital stuff sound better (ie, act as a filter). I'd say this is a compliment. The cables reproduce faithfully what sou... 
Best moderate - small sub for Soliloquy 5.3s
Hmmmm....I found the Integre to have a very good bottom end by itself. Have you tried other speaker cables??What price range is "not too expensive" and what do you consider small??The REL Strata III is a nice smallish sub for a little over a $1000... 
Have experience with the MAS GRAY interconnect?
I have a few pairs of Gray, Black, and Blue that I've bought from Stu over the years; even back when he lived in Pennsylvania.I'd sort of agree with using the Black for some model CD players. The black is a little more "analog like". Question is..... 
CDs sound better when recorded to tapes?
Not in the way you say. For classical music I actually prefer many analog recorded CD's (ie, ADD, or AAD) over the pure digital (DDD) recordings. 
Telarc cd's and Mozart's Requiem
FYI, Peter Schreier was/is a professional tenor (and a good one), long before becoming a conductor. It shows in that he cares more about the quality of the singing, which I feel matters in a piece like this. Many conductors focus on the orchestra,... 
Telarc cd's and Mozart's Requiem
I'll second the Peter Schreier on Philips more for performance quality, which I care about more than sound quality (I sing in a professional chorus). It does sound very good as well.Note that the Hogwood is not the traditional Mozart Requiem which...

which woofer do you prefer
Yes, a lot of REL's are traded second hand. It is because they sell a lot of them, and a lot of people start with a Strata or Storm, then decide to upgrade to the Stadium, Stentor, etc. Note the used ones listed for sale, usually sell in a day or ... 
beethoven string quartets
I have a complete set by the Tokyo String Quartet. Comes in 3 sets of 3 CD's (Early, Middle, Late). The "early" set (Op 14 and 18) also has the Op 29 Quintet with Pinkas Zukerman.The early is my favorite, then the middle, then the late.They play w... 
How bad is REL Strata III for...
For best results use the low-pass RCA jacks for HT, instead of the high-pass speaker wires for music. You can actually connect it both ways at the same time. If the REL gets a signal from the RCA jacks it automatically uses that signal instead of ... 
Inverting polarity dilemma
So when you use the Myryad you bypass or don't use the BC21.1 ???If so, I see your problem. The BC inverts, the Myryad does not. Therefore one source will always be out of phase which ever way you put the speaker terminals.It does not matter where... 
What item sold you cannot live without??
