Power cord for digital stuffs?
I myself have found the proper selection of power cords plus power conditioning products have a profound effect on audio quality.  Living in an apartment makes it all the more important.  And as I have previously stated, in the case of my OPPO 105... 
Power cord for digital stuffs?
All I can say iswith my OPPO 105 player.  Although I am using both Audioquest power cords-NRG100's, 1000, plus two Audioquest Niagara 1000's, that a $400 digital JPS power cord works far, far better with my OPPO player.  When I replace my JPS digi... 
Power Cords
I myself have been using Audioquest power cords or several years now.  Previously I used Cardas and later tried Shunyata but found Audioquest to be far superior.  Presently I am using 3 NRG10 power cords, 4 NRG100's one NRG1000 plus 2 Niagara 1000... 
Power Cords
I myself am using a combination of Audioquest NRH10's, NRG100's plus one NRG1000 power cords.  I found their NRG10's to be far superior to competing Cardas as well as Shunyata power cords.  But for my Oppo 205 I find a $400 JPS digital power cord ... 
Looking for a reasonably priced good quality interconnect
I am presently using a ballanced pair of .5 meter MG Audio Design nteronnects between my OPPO 205 and Rega Orisis integrated amplifer.  They run for $900 a pair.  I learned about them from Arnie Nudell mentioning them and have later learned thar P... 
Power Cords
I myself have found Audioquest power cords the best value for the money over the last few years.  Previously I had used Cardas and Shunyata power cords,  Eben today I find my 3 NRG10 power cords at $780 are far superir to any Shunyata power cord i... 
Digital Music sounds too bright?
Right off I myself have always noticed is that placing anything your speakers will most certainly affect the audio reproduction.  When I tried placing my tv on a steroeo cabinet right between my speakers the imaging between the speakers would be p...

toetapaudio:     Previously I was using Shunyata Python CX power cords but a few months ago I tried a $695 Shunyata power cord on sale by The Cable Company with the same results.  None could compare to the Audioquest NRG10's.  Presenly I am using ...

I myself replaced my then Shunyata power cords a few years ago with Audioquest power cords because I found them much better.  I currently am using eight Audioquest power cords plus twp of their Niagara power strips.  But I hae also found that my $...

todderrone:       Compared to mine, total length is 12 feet for the left speaker ad 11 for my right speaker, your speaker lengths are relatively short.  I am only using such lengths due to my present set up.  I could probably cut off two feet of t...

toetapaudio:      12 wires altogether.  By chanch when I began my experiments with Jenna Lab hook up wires, I had all the wires necessary.  I am an old timer and thus still require my audio equipment within easy reach of my right hand, thus the ne...

toetapaudio:  That was 6-7 years ago. They were the ones prior to their "anaconda" model which themself were noteworthy as only costing $4000 for a six foot pair at the time.  In fact it was back in 1983-4 when I first learned about Randall Resear...

handymann:   I totally agree.  In fact speaker wires were the last and final part of my audio system to attend to.  I myself had been using a single Jenna Labs 18 gage hook up wire per channel-4 in total in place of regular speker.  It was not nti...

I have previously discussed my use of MG Audio Design interconnects and speaker wires.  First I fond out about MG Audio Design from the writings of Arnie Nudell.  I latr found outthat Paul McGowan of PSAudio also used them.  But at $1600 for a one... 
2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come
I would just like to give one example of using the latest top of the line pair of MG Audio Design's interconnects from a 30+ year old McIntosh MR74 tuner to my Audio Research LS27.  I first learned about MG Audio Design products from a review by A...
