I'm in research mode now and the Wireworld PC's are on my list.

Did you research softwares for the spectrum analysis? I haven't heard of FuzzMeasure; I am wondering how you ended up with that one. A frequency sweep is my next step me thinks.
I ended up with Fuzz Measure because they had a free download, I tried it and liked it a lot. I have a Mac, I am not sure they have it for Windows, but I would highly recommend it. The sweep works great. The only thing is that I used it so much I have that 20-20Khz sweep tone ingrained in my brain - even though I used earplugs while testing.

I made string dampers from closed cell foam that I slide between the neck and the strings that keep the strings from being excited by the frequencies from the speakers, and that solved my ringing strings problem. It surprised me how much sound the guitar strings made when left to vibrate on their own.
Good point, but the solid body guitar is pretty dead - I just checked it. I know that hollow-bodied guitars can resonate, but that's not necessarily bad IMO. Sometimes, when I listen to acoustic guitar music, I put 2 or 3 guitars in my listening room because I like the effect. I even built a guitar-speaker (i.e. I put some NXT transducers and a class-D amp in a classical guitar,) it sounds awful with most music, but great with classical guitar solo music. Plus it looks supercool .

Alberto.......At first, I thought you were joking, then I realized your were serious. Guitar speaker. Hmm.

I recently aquired some WW Power Cords. I am a Gambler and would of bet that the improvement would of been slight at best. But as so many here have said, it sounded like I changed out a amp. I would of never, never, I mean never have believed it, had I not heard it in my own system. I don't know what's going on with those PC's, but it really is some GOOD STUFF.
It's just not possible is it.

3-Emotiva XPA-1's
Emotiva ERC-1
Yamaha Pre/ Processor
Wireworld Silver Eclipse 5.2 Speaker cable
Wireworld power cables
Van Den Hul Interconnects
Cambridge DacMagic for the Itunes
Aerial 9's
JL Audio F112
And my hand made Sound absorption Panel behind each speaker. Art work isn't very good but the wife likes it. One of the XPA1's is behind the brown chair on the left.
I guess you could say simple men have simple taste.
