Absorption or diffusion????
I have the same problem in my family room, i.e. a 55" rptv sitting between the speakers. For a cheap fix, I use two 2' x 4' panels of 3" pyramid foam, mounted to 1/2" pvc tubing. I guess you would consider this more of a diffuser than anything els... 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Excellent Ozzy....See for yourself whether they mesh with your system or not. Your ears will best tell you than any review out there. Please divulge your impressions when you get them. 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Ozzy, I can give you some INITIAL impressions. I have a 1M Cerious IC (RCAs) that I just received last Friday. Keep in mind these are my impressions in my system, and as always, ymmv.In a few words, I highly think they are worth trying in one's sy... 
Audio Physics Virgo II's - Cabling
Hey Geoff, get in touch with Don of DCCA Audio (Agon name is virgo_ref). He makes some great power cables. But more importantly, he uses the Virgos in his personal system, and should be able to direct you with some good advice. 
Speakercable and powercord that thightens bass.
Greetings Tvad,Of the ones I mention, I personally have had or do have the Electraglide Mini Khans, the latest Ultra Khans, and the VD Nite II in my personal system. The EGs did not work in my system, as their lack of a ground conductor (as I had ...

I will vouch for Don (Virgo_ref). He is an upstanding guy who is a real pleasure to deal with. No harm meant with his post. He has an outstanding product that he is proud about, as he should be. His support has been fantastic.I first heard his pow... 
Speltz Anti-cable needs break-in period?
I can't say that my Speltz cables benefitted from a whole lot of break-in. Perhaps they have gotten a little bit smoother, but they did sound excellent from the beginning.My Speltz throw a huge soundstage, are quite palpable, are grain free, highs... 
Shunyata taipan or Python, for BAT?
Hey Blindjim, try out the REF-1s from Don at DCCA Audio. The REF-1s were voiced using his VK-500, and I also heard them on a friend's VK-500 and the results were nothing short of stunning. If I didn't hear it myself, I wouldn't have believed the s... 
Spelts interconnects silver ?
They are wonderful, G. Extremely good bang for the buck as well. They replaced three complete sets of ICs that I owned from 3 different mfgs, that retailed (per 1M pair) for $500, $900, and $1,300 respectively. If you like the Anti-cables, you wil... 
Spelts interconnects silver ?
Yes, he does. I have a couple pairs of his 1.5m ICs. They are made with two lengths of a thinner gauge magnet wire, one for the center conductor of the RCA, and one for the outer housing of the RCA, which also acts to filter stray RF /EMI. He make... 
CD players with variable output/volume control
You can add Modwright's 999ES and 9000ES players to the list as well, as long as you ask for the DACT attenuator option. BTW, there'a a Modwright 999ES w/volume control listed now.Wonderfully musical players! 
Belles 350a Reference, Classe 2200, Ayre V-5x,
We have no idea what your priorities are...Everything in audio is "give and take", and one piece will not fit everyone's needs. So tell us what you like and what's most important to you!

Bobby P of Merlin, Emmanuel Go of First Sound. Good people! 
What is the quietest preamp you've used?
Dehavilland Ultra Verve, First Sound Presence Deluxe mkII 
solid state amps matched with tube pre amp
Absolutely turn off the amp before the preamp goes off and and turn the preamp on before the amp... I've had the UV paired with various solid state amps, and the results of turning off the preamp while the amps were on resulted in anything from tr...
