CD Player Recommendations - System sounding shrill
go to mapleshaderecords.com. I believe they have trial period. 
Every make a purchase you truly regret?
I can't say I regret any purchases I've made. I've bought many components and sold them off some at a loss but most at break even. Either way, they are all valuable audio learning experiences. However, the component I sunk the most money into is a... 
New batch of Albert Porter's cryo treated Hubbells
I just intalled mine lastnight. There is an immediate improvement in detail and grunge removal. Not sure how much of it is contributed to the plug and how much is contributed to me cutting off the corroded ends of the in-wall wiring, but the impro...

Didn't They Learn Their Lesson With DIVX
I third asdf. Whoever brain stormed the idea of disposable CDs, koodles to him. Whoever implemented that idea, though, is WACK! 
SOS - LINN KATAN AND REL STORM - SOS
How does it not sound right thus far? I always thought the Kans are really easy to mate sub wise. I never used REL before though. The only subs that I had problem with the Kans were subs with less than 15 inch woofers. They sounded boomy and clash... 
CD Player Recommendations - System sounding shrill
I used the Nakamichi PA-5A in a store before, and its sound improved greatly when using an Audioquest powercable. I owned the CA-7A preamp previously, and the Mapleshade powercord greatly improved it. In fact, the CA-7A runs very hot which is unde... 
Proper Cable Placement.
I don't think I've ever heard the interconnects affecting each other. Two things I do hear a difference, first of which, is when separating the red and black sections of speaker cables and separating digital and analog cables. To separate the red ... 
How do you get the "real" feel of music?
Opinions are opinions. But, please keep ad hominems to a minimum. 
i2 Digital X-60, digital cable
Didn't 6mmoon do a toslink shoot out and thought they can't hear the diff between a $30 dollar glass toslink and name brand ones? I did get the glass toslink in that review from ebay. And, it sounds pretty good. Too bad the Nixon dac doesn't have ... 
Can I get "Great" used speakers for $1800??
What exactly are the BnW Matrix 3s and why did you get rid of them? 
i2 Digital X-60, digital cable
Hey Psychic, please keep us informed on how this cable sounds. Also, either you or Lak wouldn't happen to have a D-60 to compare the i2 cable with? I just sold mine, or I could have let you guys use to compare. I also find RCA cables made from CAT... 
How do you get the "real" feel of music?
I think sasha's main point is how the quality of components is secondary to how critical tacit knowledge/experience is to making hifi sound good. And, this is something I severely lack but am trying to make up for by experimenting like a mad man w... 
Audioquest is bright??
Not sure about the new AQ cables, but the older ones used all solid core conductors that took a longer time to break in. 
Why so few pictures posted in Virtual systems?
I don't get why people bother linking pics off of the manufacturer's website. I rather see the component in the user's environment.
