Meridian 508.24 or CEC TL15XR ??? HELP
Everyones ears are different and so are there listening tastes, environment and equipment. I would not limit my decision on what someone else thought that I have never met. I do read reviews and I am positive I have seen people here on the forum w...

Do Blue Dots applied to LP labels improve sound?
The dots are terrific!!! I use them as a coaster under my Chivas Regal on the rocks. The sound improves with each sip! best tweak I have found:>) 
$6 Million Dollar Man?
I venture to say that many here could design and put together a room of this size with proper acoustical treatments and equipment at one quarter the price. We could also accommodate more than three friends on a leather couch. Where is the popcorn ...

How essential is shielding?
I agree with all the above 111%. speaker, I.C., and power cables all have none to minimum shielding. I feel that it can constrict sound and dampen the dynamics of my system. Those garden hoses are also hard on the component IEC connections with th...

Will I hear a difference with these cables?
Mceljo,When I mentioned "nude" I was only referring to the termination. I prefer silver tinning the end of the cable and connecting directly to the speaker and amp. The best connector is no connector at all don't you think? Adding another interfac... 
Will I hear a difference with these cables?
I think you will be pleasantly suprised and proud of your work. I would have tinned the wire with the best Silver solder you could find and use them in the nude form. Short of that the best copper spade on -neg and silver spade on+ that you could ... 
Melody Gardot - My one and only thrill
I just ordered this CD on Wednesday. I had some credits at CD Universe that I used for my one of my Christmas gifts to myself. You may want to check out Adeles' "19". Very Good!

Edge22, I may need to investigate this issue also. I will be buying before the Superbowl and I expect to have the same problem. Please post your results. Do you have a surround sound processor with various audio in/out connections? If so you may t...
