| Black Cat 3232 Speaker cable? I tried a set of earlier versions of Chris S’s ic cables under the Stereovox brand name. I found them pretty hot in treble, lots lots of detail. A friend of mine who knows his stuff well says that is kind of the sound he goes for. | |

| What do modern, current day CD Transports do that older CDP's with RCA digital out don't? ALright thanks again for all your input. The reviews were useful to watch. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I think it is kinda funny. As I am reading through all these painful posts that now this Mike Powell character has burned his bridges here with nasty postings under his own name, he has activated his Ukranian sleeper cells to try to clean some of ... | |
| What do modern, current day CD Transports do that older CDP's with RCA digital out don't? Thanks to all that responded so far. Some are more useful than others. I don’t plan on spending several thousand bucks on a new CD transport, but maybe a thousand or so. So yes, I was referring to more economical, but good modern transports, and ... | |

| What Is So Special About Harbeth? I remeber a few years back I visited an old friend of mine in Philadephia and he had a set of the largest Harbeths, a Linn Sondek deck with Vandehul cartridge and Ayre electronics from phono to preamp to power amp. It was one of the nicest systems... | |
| Speakers: same brand? Center speaker is very important in HT. It provides all the voices and center of action, and the sides and rears are just for sound effects mostly. | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr Its been a while now but I remmeber an hifi pal of mine had a set of 4 panel Magneplanars set up in his listening room, man that sound was just freaking delicious and one of the best I can remmeber. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I try not to make things too complicated and just use common sense. McIntosh has been very successful for a really long time and it continues to be. Resale value is excellent. It would be silly think their products don’t have appeal. People like n... | |
