Try Romex or another type of solid core wire. I fine 12 gauge is great. I wraped multi-stranded 18 gauge(from radio shack) around the exterior sheathing of the romex. Striping each end of the black and red romex 1.5 inches. I wraped the small gaug... 
Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?
No, I tried two years ago. I called, made an appointment and drove 300 miles to the auditioning location. I waited an hour in a not so great neighborhood and nobody show up. 
TV and Tube gear.
Thank you all very much. I will give it all a try. 
Where s the bass?
I have Thiel 6’s and I agree with Sean’s post. My Thiels are on the lean side. I now use a Krell FPB 200, which is known for that “Krell Bass Slam”. The combination of lean and slam = Bam! If changing amps is an option, try a home audition it may ...

Dedicated line vs. power conditioner
Alex has a great idea. Per The 1999 National Electrical Code, 210-11, C -2. Laundry Branch Circuits: In addition to the number of branch circuits required by other parts of this section, at least one additional 20-ampere branch circuit shall be pr... 
Dedicated line vs. power conditioner
Here’s an inexpensive way to hear which gives you the most for your money. Trace the circuit, which provides the source of power to your equipment. Un-plug all other devices on circuit. This will take you very close to having a dedicated line. The...

One Song That Still Causes...
For me the tune is the” Adagio for Strings” by Samuel Barber. Most people associate this piece with the movie Platoon. It always makes me think about the act of making love. 
Mobile Fidelity CD s
Sqjudge, Ya I know, Doug Sax did an outstanding job. Pinky never sounded better. I have not replaced my MoFi discs of The Wall. I may just wait out the format Wars DVD-A vs SDCD. 
Mobile Fidelity CD s
Rod Stwart's Every Picture Tells a Story. MoFi at its best.I have replaced my MoFi copies Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon and Meddle with the recently re-master ones by Columbia/Sony. To my ears the mist has been removed, leaving behind a clean...

CAL Alpha DAC v AA DDE3.0
I agree with Device. The Delta is the weak link. It was manufactured in 93 and there have been a lot of changes since then. When and if it breaks in will look into the MicroMega T-Drive. 
CAL Alpha DAC v AA DDE3.0
Last year I bought an older, used CAL Alpha/Delta on Audiogon. I had the Alpha upgraded to (96/24) HDCD compatible. I use fiber optic connection between each device. The CAL combo replaced an AA DDEv1.0 with a Magnavox 560. The CAL combo is better... 
Legacy anyone?
I tried to audition the Focus speakers three years ago and failed. I had read the great review of the Focus in The Sensible Sound. It was right at the top of my budget so I called and made an appointment to visit a regional audition site in Pasade...
