| PC: Synergistic Tesla, Lessloss, Transparent MM It's no secret that I am a big fan of Don's DCCA power cables (look at my system, I own the current Reference Masters, and older Powerwave IIs) and Eric's Fusion power cords (I own the Enchanters). For me it was all about maximizing the best quali... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Had to finally trade in my 2002 Audi S4 (Special "Money Pit" Edition) for an 2008 Acura TL Type-S in Black Pearl. Sure is purdy (except it's completely white now from all the salt from the roads)! | |
| Life after Aerial 10Ts... A good friend of mine replaced his Aerial 10Ts with the Andra Is, and he has not regretted it. | |

| Power Cord Revelation There was a time that I said that people who heard difference because of power cords were nuts. Well, I must be one of those nuts, because as my system got better and matured, and as I became more educated on what to listen for, good power cords a... | |
| Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference? I use the Fusion Audio cables as well, and folks, these are no Electraglides. I had EGs in my system, and without a ground connection, and with the subpar connectors, they caused havoc in my system. The Impulse and Enchanter have top notch build q... | |

| Most helpful audio companies I would add Gary Dodd of Dodd Audio to list! | |
| How good is the Dodd battery powered preamp ? I will certainly vouch for the Dodd battery preamp as well. I have been through a ton of preamps (owned), heard a few others, and even tried running sources direct to amp; the Dodd has me entirely satisified to a point that I am no longer looking ... | |
| What time do you wear? Still running the Omega Seamaster Pro Chronometer since the last time I posted here! | |

| Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival 2007 Unfortunately, I didn't make it, but am watching it now:http://entimg.msn.com/i/ExperienceData/p1-6/us/x.htm?sh=MIC&ep=Crossroads&ch=0Looks like I missed a good one! | |
| What equipment or event thrust you into the hobby? Klipschorns in 1982. Wish that I'd never heard them..;) | |
| Power Cord for BAT VK 200 Without a doubt, stick a DCCA power cord on it. When I had the VK-500, the DCCA cord transformed the amp into a sonic wonder. Take Don up on his in home audition. You will most likely NOT return it. |
