Cardas vs Shunyata power cords question
Sherod,If you think the Powerwave Extreme is good, you should try the Extreme Reference. I took delivery of the cord on Friday and was just astounded by the improvement it made in my system, even after settling in for only a few hours. Don says it... 
Your insight on a CDP purchase
Congratulations on your new Modwright. Once you hear it, I doubt you'll worry anymore about the price of that Prima or how to respond to questions about your purchase.Happy listening! 
Your insight on a CDP purchase
Agree completely with 1markr. I've had the Modwright 999es for about a month, and it is just stunning. SACD is certainly a nice bonus, and redbook play is tremendous. I saw Dolfan's ad, and agree that this is a no brainer. Jump on it and don't loo...

Anyone tried Oritek X-1 cables?
I got a pair today, and even after a few hours, I am very pleased with what I am hearing. They must be "pre-cooked" or not require much break-in, because they are already incredibly good out of the box. I need a few more days with them to give a f... 
Any New Music capture your fancy ?
I think a lot of 'Goners might enjoy the Greencards, a band that is reminiscent of Nickel Creek or even Alison Krauss and Union Station. I believe the record is named Weather and Water: content good, sonics good, playing superb...in short, a very ... 
What is your idea of a Perfect Album?
Oh yeah, can't bear leaving off Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road."
