What is everyone using for dedicated AC lines???
This is the same cable that SignalCable uses for their MagicPower cable. I had it and was not impressed as much as I am with the ChrisVH series cables. IMO. I would just use romex, but can anyone chime in who has used this carol cable vs. romex???... 
paradigm studio 100V2 with Mcintosh tubes
From my experiences with the Studio 100's, they sound great with 200-300 watt amps. They just need lots of power to come alive.I currently power mine with a McCormack DNA-225 amplifier, rated at 225watts @8ohms and 400 watts @4ohms.Please keep in ...

Sound Quality: "Stereo-Link" vs. Sound Card

Amp for Paradgim Studio 100
I use the McCormack DNA-225 amplifier with my Studio 100 Ver2 speakers. The amp has plenty of power and can get the room painfully loud with ease and holographic imaging with no signs of distortion. The amplifier has complete control of these spea... 
Paradigm or Energy?????
Just an Idea, For $850 (or less) you can get into some used Paradigm Studio Reference series (20,40,60,80, possibly the 100's ver1). These speakers in my mind will sound much better than any described. I have owned the Mini-monitors, Phantoms, hea...

Audio & PC Audio Cable upgrades better than stock.
That Soundblaster Audigy looks really good! I was looking around and see that monster cable has mini to dual rca cables called the Interlink 400mkII portable for around $50 on the net. I might have to look into this Audigy closer....By the way, Wh...
