AC Power cords, which components 1st...?
I would buy one and experiment. My experience has proven that it's not possible to predict the benifit to a single component within the system. I know from personal history the BMI Whale is a good fit for the Aloia, and I know the power snakes are... 
what will the new plinius sa102 do for my system??
No need to adjust anytrhing. If the LED lights are too bright you can adjust them, but no need to open the top if you don't have to. 
what will the new plinius sa102 do for my system??
I think I may be one of the few who have any experience with the SA-102. Please read my review first. My opinion is that the B&W 802's would be greatly enhanced by this amp. The soundstage should open up quite a bit. The upper regions will be ... 
NBS Signature or Fim Gold Interconnects
I don't know about the Signature line. I use the NBS Statement and FIM Gold interconnects along with Nordost Valhalla. In my opinion the FIM are a touch darker and slower than the NBS and Nordost. The NBS and Nordost are almost interchangable in m... 
Cowboy Junkies 'Open' on SACD
I'm in. I finally found a copy of the Trinity Session "gold" cd. It's a great improvement over the alum. and very close to vinyl. SACD would be great, hell if it would get Craig to buy a SACD player it would be worth it alone. 
Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object
I have made a direct side by side of my heavily modified Sony SCD-1 to the Mephisto II. My SCD-1 with full Audiocom modifications is well beyond the Mephisto II in redbook, SACD is another level still. Do not forget how often people said cd would ... 
Review: Plinius SA-102 power amp
I would like to publicly thank-you redkiwi for helping me over the past couple years building this system. Your recommendations above any other have been most useful. I don't know if it's simply the two of us having very similar tastes, or if your... 
Review: Plinius SA-102 power amp
Albert,You know I'd love to meet you and have you listen to my system. It would be a real honor to get your impressions and suggestions. If your ever in the Twin Cities please do let me know, I'll buy dinner before a listen.J.D. 
Any comments on Walker High Def Links???
I've heard only the Mk II. I bought two sets after trying them out. I bi-amp vertically and have the Links on both the upper and lower. The result is quite significant, in the same way a good interconnect or speaker wire is able to remove a layer ... 
Stereophile looses Jonathan Scull
Kirk I think your right. This points us directly to JA! I believe Sereophile's problems begin with him, and J-10 was just his side kick. If the owners of Stereophile want to begin a new, start with JA and J-10.The clear and outright mis-use of Atk... 
cornfedboy, signing off
Thank-you for all your help over the years Kelly. I admire your values on this issue and feel we need your help in this way to continue making this site grow and strengthen. I will take time to write from time to time and hope to some day have the... 
Stereophile looses Jonathan Scull
Too bad, what the heck is Jonathan going to do? God forbid he have to actually purchase equipment like the rest of us! Maybe he'll have to go back to double malt scotch or what! move from the fricken loft!I find him the most pompous of the group, ... 
Black Diamond Racing
I'm glad you don't think I'm completely nuts Bob. Bob if your interested I'll loan you a set of Orchard Bay titanium cones to try. They cost so much it would be better to simply try and see how titanium works with your set-up. Let me know at my em... 
Nobody doing thier own experimenting or research?
I have received countless email from people on this site, They have excellent and very specific questions they ask and look to me for help. I've spent hundreds of hours playing and experimenting, I believe these people are simply looking for a dir... 
Black Diamond Racing
I've had a great deal of experience with the BDR shelf, pucks, those things and cones. I have found in the right application they improve the sound and smooth the high frequency. They can also muddy the sound and make it less involving. The shelf ...
