Review: Ridge Street Audio Poiema Interconnect
I think Pure Note and RSA are owned by the same proprietor. He makes the exact same cables but sell them under different brands and looks. He then get people online to fight over which company's products sound better. This proprietor then sits bac... 
Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?
Marco, I wouldn't feed my kids what I wouldn't eat myself. So hell no am I feeding my virtual kids some dishonest dealer puree. How about I stick my virtual foot in your virtual mouth for that venonous suggestion. = P 
CEC owners What Power Cord are You using?
Bogdan AC and Eichmann Express AC works well on my Parasound/CEC transport. 
Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?
That's not loco at all. If I am an administrator, I'd ban Sean too. Who needs a guy who can do my job for free. I still got (theoretically) kids to feed. 
What's on your reading list?
I started about 7 books since December and finished none of them. Most of these books are English translated books by Hegel, Merilieu Ponte (sp), and I just can't stand how choppy the translations are. Only book that remains is the Lexus and the O... 
Velodyne ULD-15 II sub performance
This is one of the handful of subs that I believe is truly made for music and not for chest thumping home theater effects. The bass is very smooth sounding which never muddies the high frequencies. Infact, it accentuates the highs during my listen... 
NHT 3.3 or von Scheikert VR4
I heard both and prefer the Schweikert speakers. But, the VR4 was being powered by White/Llanno amps, and the 3.3 was powered by Pioneer Reference. I liked both speakers enough nevertheless. 
Need some Suggestions on Best Digital Cable
I've tried quite a few but 47Labs' OTA cable works best for me. 
Should power cords have filters on them?
Best world scenario is if your system doesn't need filters, that's all. Use it if you need it. 
Should power cords have filters on them?
I think the ETP80s do have an AC line filter and surge protector. It is the ETP60, which I have, that doesn't have the filter if I remember correctly. I'd suggest you not add filters in either a line conditioner or in the powercord unless you need...

Are your systems more Plato or Aristotle?
I would love to learn more about the theories of dialectics/aethetics. My self education of these probably stopped at around the 19th century. Thanks for the heads up. Rereading old reprints/reinterpreted books on epistomology and the like just do... 
Small and satisfying. Please help me.
Panasonic SC-DM3. Everything you want on the cheap. Been using it in my bedroom for a year. Even plays none region 1 discs. I got mine from Ebay for something around $300. 
Audiophile rites
When I got extra time and energy on my hands, I clean all the contacts with 1) alcohol and 2) electrical contact solution. This removes the "veil". 
Information on Car Audio
I think the Volvo has the Dynaudio/Alpine premium package. Atleast, it did for the C70. If this is offered in the V70, it seems like the way to go.
