| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? My system is big planars and all tubes (pre, monoblocks, CD). I appreciate alot of air in my system. The old stuff was 15 year old Monster Cable ICs and Kimber speaker cables (black and grey twine), and some more recent Supernal biwired speaker ca... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? I went with the JPS Supconductor FX. A dealer just loaned me a pair. I knew absolutely nothing about them -never heard of them before. I trialed one pair of interconnects for a weekend, and they sounded fabulous -and not that much money either. So... | |

| VTL vs Jolida Hi,I have alot of recent listening experience regarding the amps and speakers in question. I have two other threads running at the moment.First, to answer your question, VTL vs. Jolida, I think I would concur with my fellow compatriots that the an... | |
| Tubes, Maggies, VTL - heaven. Confirmed Hey John,I think I saw your Wolcott ad and was truly tempted. But I live on the west coast, and when I checked your zip code I realized Minneapolis was a non starter as far as an audition was concerned.... unless I also wanted to visit that giant ... | |
