| Upgrade suggestions needed Goodwin's High End sells Karma, Martin Logan, Audio Physics, Dunlavy. They are outside of Boston. Good store, they treated me real well. | |
| The return of "Bubble Man" Why not stack 2) 5/8" bubble wraps to get 1 1/4" thick "double bubble"? Bubbliscious! | |
| Why bi-wiring is bad That's what I'm initially finding Viggen. With the emphasis on ADEQUATE jumper. | |

| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Thanks a lot Phychicanimal. | |
| Try this simple DIY interconnect cable. Could also do 2) grounds and 1) signal as Kimber does on the PBJ's. | |
| What type of solder do you use and why? Audio Advisor has "World's purest lead-free solder from Japan""The absence of lead lowers electrical resistance by as much as 30% and improves the clarity of sound"100 gram roll $49.95.Is this stuff any good? Better be for the price. | |
