30 Years of Perfect Sound?
Mapman,You hit the nail on the head. It would take too much money for me to equal and surpass the sound I get from my CDP. Fun, yes, but expensive.All the best,Nonoise 
30 Years of Perfect Sound?
It explains why I prefer my CDP over my simple and cost effective computer set up. By a wide margin. All the best,Nonoise 
Speaker cables or interconnects??
Stevecham+1I've had Audioquest, Music Metre, Supra, Clear Day, Zu Mission and Mapleshade (all entry level except for Zu) and the Mapleshade cables are far and away the best I've had in my system. YMMV but I doubt it.All the best,Nonoise 
interconnects specifically for speaker drivers
I looked up these options but I don't know how good they are:http://www.crutchfield.com/S-JaF5nernMxT/p_142AMYC/EFX-Y-adapter.htmlhttp://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=118&sku=40650#Hope it helps.All the best,Nonoise 
WHAT GOOD IS SPEAKER AND CABLE IMPEDANCE ANYWAY?
I can sense the responses being worked up. 
Harry Pearson HP No Longer at TAS
I haven't picked up a copy of The Absolute Sound in quite some time and it's sad to hear of Harry Pearson's situation. The upside to all of this is to hear him and his musings without the constraints of The Absolute Sound. I wish him the best.All ... 
interconnects specifically for speaker drivers
Offhand, I know of no company that makes cables specifically for certain frequencies. As Rrog has asked, coherency would be off the table. All companies go for the all-in-one approach. Usually they have different levels of improvement in their lin... 
Mapleshade Golden Helix Vs Double Helix
Forget what I said about bi and tri wiring with the Double Helix speaker cables.Not 2 hours later they took a big turn for the better. I was listening to Melody Gardot and her voice took a turn downwards, tonally, about halfway to Lauren Bacall. H... 
R.I.P. Andy Williams
I grew up watching The Andy Williams Show with my parents and loved every episode. Music, comedy, you name it and Andy did it. It's too bad that this is a generational 'thing'. Shows like his and others of his time helped build a foundation of cul... 
Mapleshade Golden Helix Vs Double Helix
SunnyJIm,I hear you. Elucidation, when offered, is a far cry from mutterings and mumblings.As one who thinks he's reached his sonic goals, only to discover that he just went sideways, I can share in the frustration this wonderful hobby requires of... 
Mapleshade Golden Helix Vs Double Helix
I couldn't wait. I wanted to. I couldn't leave well enough alone.I bi-wired the standard Helix with the Double Helix and it got perceptibly better. A little more here and there. Like adding something to a good stock. Not content with that, I went ... 
stereo system evaluation--objective or subjective
Great answers, save for the first. I wouldn't dream of reinterpreting the great answers so far but would like to second the thought that objectivity is oh, so subjective. As in other fields of art, one can only judge based on experience, tastes an... 
Mapleshade Golden Helix Vs Double Helix
SunnyJim,As a lapse Catholic, I'd better re-up for the benefits!And I hope Audio Valhalla has a good beer hall.All the best,Nonoise 
Mapleshade Golden Helix Vs Double Helix
SunnyJim,I'll start with the last question first and make my way back. My speakers are Tonian Labs TL-D1s and the amp is a Burson PI-160 integrated. The Tonians are 95db efficient and the Burson is a sleeper, IMO, which digs pretty deep into the m... 
Anyone ever compare Deluend to Russian KBG
Someone file a FOIA request to get to the bottom of this.
