| VD Revelation Speaker cables - I've got a Bi-wire set of Revelations on the living room floor. Never heard them yet because I broke a speaker binding post when I tried to install them. Yes they are stiff but I think everything will be OK when I get in the mindset that they can ... | |
| Stupid question about power cables ... Somewhere I saw a 3 prong male plug with a removeable ground prong. Sorry I can't be more helpfull. Maybe someone else has seen it and post. | |
| Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa Update on new binding posts.I purchased the Cardas CCGG long posts, direct gold plate over copper. The rings that are soldered to the ends of the cross-over wires appears to be brass. These rings were bolted to the original binding posts. I am goi... | |

| Wadia 302 Direct to amp or via pre-amp I doubt that there are many who can hear the resolution loss from 100 to 80, or even 70. If you can then you've got the golden ears. Still I would prefer a volume control that functions in the analog domain rather than the digital. What you're say... | |

| Best Live Shows 2006 ? I saw Pat Martino a few weeks ago. Not only was he great but the pianist, bassist and drummer were acomplished musicians as well. The guitar was the only amplified instrument. Sat about 8 ft from the band. Only complaint; the set was too short but... | |
