In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later
Transnova I never realized that! Haven't understood some of the bands the R&R Hall decided to induct. No Yes? What an absurd omission! 
Power Chords better than TWL at the price?
The male plug on the TWL power cords has the strongest fit to the AC outlet I've seen out of the many cords I've used and I'm sure plays a role in their performance. I have owned and tried over 20 different manufactured cables. 
In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later
For me, the beginning using the excerpt from Firebird Suite is pure genius. 06-02-14: GhosthouseAbsolutely! Yes started their show with the Firebird Suite at the the World Series of Rock and the anticipation that piece created was incredible.I thi... 
In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later
It's the high octane, high powered, virtuosity, the extended nature of the live "Yessongs" perfomances, that have always made them special for me. (the mastery of their instruments and Jon Anderson vocals) Although Yes often achieved greatness in ... 
Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?
I've had subs for years and just can't get it right. They sit there unused most of the time. A floorstander that can do deep enough bass is so much more satisfying. 
audiphile power cords
"Has any component manufacturer ever gotten on board with recommending any aftermarket power cords for their equipment?"Mitch4t, one example: Joule Electra recommends Purist Audio Design power cords for their preamps. I contacted them and this was...

Once in a while the stock power cord sounds pretty good and various aftermarket cords can muck up the sound. It's happened in my past systems. Some aftermarket power cords can make very little difference. One problem is that you can't try every po... 
Power Chords better than TWL at the price?
Smrex13 I also tried the Anticables Level 3 pc with another integrated I own and as high as my hopes were for it, I eventually returned it. It is all about matching a complementary power cord to your amp (matching up). This is never an automatic. ... 
Power Chords better than TWL at the price?
I have a Triode Wire Labs 8+ and I think it's a very good addition to my Yamaha AS2000 integrated. Since you're "looking" at power cords, Triode has a 30 day policy, so you can try them in your system to learn if you like the sound of your speaker... 
What a Songstress Julie London
IMO she was a better actress then singer. 05-04-14: DayglowEveryone is entitled to their opinion. I would say that you haven't heard enough of her work. I'm telling you all again, find her up-beat work, she had fantastic timing could swing with th...

Mark, I highly recommend:"Love On The Rocks" and "Julie Is Her Name" 
Acoustic Zen Hologram II - best for the $
I agree with Almarg that you try cables that are inexpensive to see if you can address your issue (forwardness). The Audio Sensiblity cables I find interesting, but they are in Canada which always means shipping back and forth through Customs. Thi... 
What a Songstress Julie London
I cannot tell you how much I listen to her music, almost daily. I guess you could say I'm obsessed with her "sound." I'm addicted. Roxy54 you will enjoy her music even more! I wish my stereo was better because of her, and I really wish I had an ex... 
Jazz for aficionados
I hear you on Julie London Foster 9, beyond doubt the best american female ballad singer.05-02-14: SchubertThanks Schubert. I've listened to recordings by many other females and in the past months for me her sound has passed them by. It's all abou... 
Jazz for aficionados
I don't know if Julie London has been mentioned in this thread or not. I mentioned her excellence in a thread I started a couple months ago and she only got a little love from few posters. The more I listen to her, the more I realize she is an unc...
