Zane, I never admitted or will pretend to know how every component in a cable affects its sonic quality. I simply stated that there are variables in cable construction and that I can discern musical subtleties between cables. Your not calling my bluff!!! Intelligence is not the issue. We are...

Bean, I’ve been extremely happy with FMS cables in my home stereo. IMO they are transparent, can reveal amazing details and are musically accurate throughout the 20-20K frequency range. I use their interconnects, speaker cables, and power cables. In the A/V system I’m using Wire World...

Zane, "So you are saying that you can hear a difference in a $50 strand of copper and a $5 strand of copper?"----------------- No. I’m talking about interconnects. There is more to a cable than a strand of copper (wire gauge, strand twisting / braiding, number of strands, insulation, shielding...

Zane, 5% Agree, Yeah maybe a decent $5 cable can sound as good as a lousy (read industry hyped) $50 cable. 95% disagree. As Bean pointed out, all cables have a sonic signature. When you compare two $25 or $50 cables, they will sound different. It’s the listener that decides which one sounds...

Look into Wire World interconnect cables. They make a complete line from economy to ultimate. They will also custom make the cables to any length you specify (special order). Their website is http://www.wireworldaudio.com They have been used successfully in many high-end car audio...

49 and still rockin !!!! Any other old farts out there????

About 20% of my listening is classical. As you both pointed out, classical is a great way to evaluate a system. IMO the very best way is to compare the system to a live acoustical performance - classical concerts being the best. This will certainly point out system flaws. Fortunately the...

I've had my 5.5 Boston Pros installed in the front doors now for 1-1/2 months and am not very pleased with the midrange / upper bass SQ performance of the 5-1/4" driver, but I like the tweeters. They are installed in the factory location "on axis", high passed at 80Hz, with amp gains at minimum...

Wonderbread, I have no experience with the sub you intend to use but here's what I've done with the Z300 & maybe someone else here can draw a comparison for your application. Z300 bridged driving 2 - 2 ohm Boston Pro 8.5s, I believe wired in series, gain set to minimum. I never play it...

Opps - Sorry, $650 US Dollars. Not sure what the exchange rate is for Canada.

I looked at the Zapco website and could not find a Z50C2. They still have the Z series on the website but are shown as not available. Is the one you have a four channel? As far as the Z300C2, I believe retail was in excess of $650 when they were available. I'm very happy with the SQ &amp...

I find the MB & Diamonds sound allmost the same. They're bright in the high frequencies. The Bostons are more neutral throught the entire frequency range. If you listen for extended periods of time (long drives) the Bostons might be easier on your ears.

You Bet!!!! You can find more watts / $ with other brands but you'll be hard pressed to find many brands that will deliver the SQ of the Zapco.

-When you find a car stereo shop you can trust and your willing to drive 4 hours to talk with them in person. -You just can't stop "tweaking" your system

I’m not into mega power or huge bass; my objective is trying to get the best sound quality. Tried a Alpine (I think an MRV line, 75w x 4) in 1996 and had 5-1/2 good years of service and good sound quality driving MB Quart components and a 10” JL Sub. Sorry I sold it with the car. All around, a...
