new Cartridge for Rega P1
Hi Wolfernyc ..... For what it's worth, I have a Rega P3-24 with a Nagaoka MP-150 cartridge, and the sound of music is sublime.  The Nagaoka gets along quite nicely with the Rega arm (no spacers or shims needed) and was fairly easy to install (acc... 
Why should i be a fan of Revel speakers?
I've been incredibly happy with my Revel F 12's driven by a Rogue Audio Cronus amp.  The sound of music is sublime ! 
Changed the power cord to SignalCable Magic Power cord on my CroMag II
Many years ago, I upgraded to the Signal Cable power cords on both my Rogue Audio Cronus (original non-Magnum) and my Rotel RCD-1072 deck.  Very similar experience to what you described.  Happy Listening. 
Revel Concerta2 F36 vs Monitor Audio Silver 10
Hi Seadweller .....I haven't heard the new Concerta 2 F-36 yet, but I have been extremely happy with it's predecessor, the Concerta F-12, for several years now.  Here's my original post from the summer of 2012 when I first bought the Revel F-12's ... 
Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8)
Revel Concerta 2 F-36 ..... Seems to have all the qualities for which you're searching in a new speaker.  $ 2000 / pair and perhaps one of the most under the radar audiophile speaker bargains on the planet.  Give them an audition and you may be ve... 
Where do you guys buy tubes?
I've had excellent experiences with both "tctubes.com" (Tyler and Chelsea are a pleasure to deal with, and they really know their stuff) and  Brent Jessee at “audiotubes.com" who is an expert with all kinds of tubes.  I bought two matched quads (f... 
Beautiful tubes make beautiful music .....
Yes Lou .... Synergy is the key.  With my system, in my room, with my music, and to my ears, the synergistic relationship of small tubes, power tubes and components seems pretty perfect. Are there better tubes out there ?  Of course !  But for now... 
Beautiful tubes make beautiful music .....
Thanks Guys ... I appreciate your comments.Yogi boy .... you're absolutely right.Broussard ... Brent and I had a good discussion about the GE 3MBP 5751's vs. the RCA's, and we decided that the the $ 100 upcharge for the pair of RCA's wouldn't be a... 
Beautiful tubes make beautiful music .....
Absolutely ! ..... Nick and Mark @ Rogue Audio have always been a pleasure to deal with.  And kudos to Brent Jessee too !  It's so nice to know that there are audio folks who genuinely care about their customers ! 
Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ?
Maybe there's a very simple reason for the apparent decrease in active "audiophile forum participation."  Our lives are a lot busier now, and we are using our computers and other "devices" (iPhones, iPads, Kindles, etc.) for far more activities th... 
Best budget DAC
I agree with arafiq.  The DAC built into the Parasound P5 seems pretty impressive, and I don't understand why the OP would want an outboard DAC for $ 300.  You'd probably need to spend a significantly higher sum than $ 300 (plus the expense of ano...
