Is the JPS DIGITAL cable as good on CD as reviewed
One point : the plug is not the only thing that makes the sound of CD more analogic than most other power cables with the digital AC JPS, as I had to change the plug for the european voltage (and not with another special JPS plug).Anyway, my CD/SA... 
Are NBS cables are sound better than Nordost ?
NBS cables are ridiculously expsenive for their quality (good to very good, depdending on the models.there are even bettre cables, less expensive !)Other brands would sell it half price, at least !Nordot is not a good comparison, as it's not so go...

When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Well, as I said, I am very pleased with my digital outfit, the CD/SACD Accuphase DP-85.I am not an anti-digital and pro-analog.I still buy LP's when I find something interesting, but I more often buy CD's.(I won't even mention all the practical pl...

D-Edwards,2'000 - 3'000 "analogic" people ? Where ?I must say that like everyone, I enjoy all the practical advantages of digital gear, simple clic, etcI just say that I enjoy more analogic sound than digital, owing very good gear in both fields :... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Nice of you to say that digital is better than analogic.But at my home, it's the opposite !And for many other people too.Do you really have a high end analogic gear ?If you only compare datas, you don't go far in music... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Sure, that the best CD/SACD players are much better than 10 years ago, and often sound very good.Now, besides theory I just spoke a little in my former message - I can't develop more in english, not to say that I am not a technician - I just can s... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
digital is a wrong way for reproducing music, compared with analogic.Even if it's superior physically, in some fields.It cuts the time into instants and reconstructed it after, more or less closer to reality.Neil Young, for instance, has never acc... 
Good and bad w/ replacing stock preamp jumpers?
The point is just to have as good metal inside the jumpers than anywhere else.You can say, Herman, that it's cheap metal.It's irrelevant : it's not expensive like platine, of course, but between silver in jumpers, for instance, and poor (really im... 
Cable Costs Relative to System
"If a cable makes a significant audible difference it must be altering the signal" said Ojgalli, among other tings.Yes, and what ? Sophisme.That only means that there are almost perfect (not alterning signal cables), and others which do alterate, ...

Rolling Stones conceret lenght?
At Dübenforf (Switzerland, near Zurich), first time the Stones played on an airport, there was 70'000 people.the concert last 130min.A very good one :-) 
Anti-cables alternatives
All cables work...And the point is that, when you have really very good speakers, amplifiers- pre and sources, the cables able to be up to them are quite expensive.If not, you still will have something good.But not great - and not as good as you c...

Using Japan 100V Accuphase amp in US 120V. Safe?
It's not just the question of the warranty.If you have a problem with an Accuphase product bought in another area, they won't even work on it !It happened to me.Accuphase refused to repair my preamp, as I didn't buy it in the country I live, thoug...
