@jfrmusic    Great feedback. Thank you.   
Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
@jfrmusic    Interesting turn of events. I am sure you were able to discern these traits of the conditioner by carefully listening.    Now, I am wondering if the 707 will be a good fit for my home theater. It’s going to be the power conditioner... 
PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread
@ampus  You should try the Psvane Art series 12au7s for your Octave preamp. As we both have the same pre, Octave Jubilee, I have experimented with many NOS, including the original JAN, Siemens, and RFTs that Octave specs with the Jubilee. I find ...

@jfrmusic    Thank you for the response. The fact that Audioquest invested in a heavy duty power cord specifically made for the 707 is a testament to their commitment on building synergy for their products. I had the same experience with Bryston... 
Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
@jfmusic, Glad you are getting good results with the 707. I will be using a 707 as part of my home theater build. The only thing I wish it had was remote power on, as all of my AV equipment will be plugged into it. That’s not a big hindrance to g...

@lalitk,   Which power transformer conditioner are you using? I don’t think you mentioned it in your response.   
SEEKING A NEW AUDIO RACK
At that price range, You can get a McIntosh AV Rack It is taller. I don’t like racks less than 30” because of bending over and reach. I am looking at this one because I want to throw a reel to reel and another turntable.

Cullencable: XLR and speaker cables
Not to resurrect this old thread, but I was trying to find the Cullen Cables web site. It appears as if their web site no longer exists. Did Cullen Cable go out of business?

Half-Speed Masters - are they worth double dipping?
@cleeds, Generally speaking, Your impressions are very similar to my listening experiences as well when comparing both streaming and vinyl. The main difference to me is that when a half speed mastered produced album has been treated with all of t... 
PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread
Is there a webpage that differentiates the differences across all series of Psvane tubes? I am sure there are a lot of people interested in what the new series has and why is it better than the any previous series that it’s replacing. If if is not... 
Ebay selling my missing amplifier
Contact the shipper, USPS, DHL, FEDEX, UPS and open up an investigation. I know USPS has an investigation team that deep dives this stuff in coordination with the FBI due to the criminal elements being involved.   
Changing from European to American power supply on clearaudio emotion TT
Not sure about the specific Clearaudio model you have but sometimes there is a way to change the voltage internally on turntables. If you have the means to open the underside or wherever you can gain access to the motor area, you might get lucky a... 
McIntosh MI502
The post could fit here as that amp is being sold as a home theater amp. I just got one at the beginning of the year for my 2 18” klipsch subwoofers. The amps are able to feed adequate power to those giant subwoofers allowing for deep bass. My sub...
