Audio Cables: All the Same?
@fleschler  Your response stands out to me as one of the most succinct and coherent responses related to the subject. I located a few Navy and NASA research papers regarding RF/EMI influence on signals and signal loss at varying lengths dependent...

@ampus, I can certainly understand the defect concerns; however, that can be stated for any tune, new or NOS. I personally have had no failures with any variants, MKIIs or Art series. My failures were with NOS tubes.    Also, the Octave Jubilee ...

@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...

@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 ...

SEEKING A NEW AUDIO RACK

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?

@ampus,   Message received. I want to follow up, but add some of my information regarding experiences with the Psvane T series Mark II and Reference series. The reference series are gold plated pins with gold etching on the glass compared to the... 
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...
