Review: Ridge Street Audio Midnight Silver Edition Interconnect
Lak,Can you compare the Bear Silver Lightning to the Ridge Street IC? Thanks. 
Looking for an amazing preamp under $700 used
A Nakamichi CA-7A is pretty good. NEED an aftermarket powercord though. 
Best Power Cord for the Audio Magic Stealth
Actually, I have excellent results with the Bogdan AC cord. It is a 14 gauge 5N silver cable that probably matches very well with the Stealth's internal wiring. It certainly sounds better than my other cords connecting the Stealth to the wall whic... 
Ive got me the Digital Nasties
In my experience, the AC cord is the first tactical move against digital nasties then come AC filtering. Trying to manage your audio cables so it doesn't cross with one another especially with powercords is a freebie tweak that works too. Other th... 
Burn in power cord by boiling water??
My battery powered car gets its power via Powerburst power cord. Its like using higher octane gas: 5 more hp and 3 more mpg or kw... whichever. 
SACD - what gives?
C'mon you middle age men, buy more SACDs. If there is demand, then there will be more SACD titles in the future. Afterwards, when I can get all my favorite bands on SACD, I'll jump in. 
Speakers you regret selling
How about old girlfriends? Well not really... 
CD upgrade
I think you can buy a lot of nice CD players for under 1000. Just to throw some names out: Meridian, Sony, CAL, Theta, NAD and perhaps some DVD/SACD players such as Phillips or Pioneer. 
DVD Picture Problem -- Please Help
I think you are crazy. But, incase your are not crazy, I'd suggest you further your efforts in isolating the problem if you haven't already done so. Try to use different video cables, different video inputs of your tv, different video outputs on y... 
Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize
I had 2 copies of Bjork's Telegram. One from BMG and one from Elektra. They sound very different. Ofcourse, they are not exactly 2 of the same CD... or are they? 
New batch of Albert Porter's cryo treated Hubbells
Likewise. Thanks for taking the time out of your schedule to do all of us this big favor, Albert. 
Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize
Hey Sean, You are very very close. I am more or less reinforcing an open mind regarding CD tweaks. = DI am very curious about the Audio Desk... 
Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize
Strictly guessing, wouldn't some light polarization on the CD eliminate the need for blocking and absorbing difracted laser reflections? Don't ask me how to apply this. Maybe ask an optimologist. 
Amp under $1000 for Electronica...
Depends on your speakers? If they are efficient, the Pass Aleph 3 is very good. And, incase someone want to ding me on this, I am selling one at the moment, but that is not the reason why I am recommending it. 
Aleph 5 + Dunlavy 4
Hey CDMA, Sorry, I am not at all familiar with Dunlavy cables. But, I've the Aleph 3 and used it with various speakers with various speaker cables. I think I had better luck regarding cable matching when I treated the Aleph as if it is a lower pow...
