| Your experience with Synergistic Research Foundation SX speaker cables? @tommylion $749 per 8ft pair retail? Not sure. But on a used market, may be. Acoustic Zen Satori or Hologram II, Kimber, Nordost, Cardas, Shunyata? If the performance of Acoustic Zen interconnects in comparison to Foundation is an indicator, I’d ... | |
| Power Conditioner Architecture. Discuss Differences? Different use cases may dictate the requirement. You may end up with something like a non-current limiting Shunyata for your amp and a Puritan or AQ for your sources if you live in a city in an apartment building. Or even a regenerator like the PS... | |

At the time I had Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref II and Absolute Copper interconnects and Acoustic Zen Gargantua power cords. The SR power cord was an improveme... | |
| Tip for purchase new power cable @marco777 find a reliable distributor and buy bulk Furutech FPS-032n cable with Furutech F-11 (Cu) copper plugs. Terminate it yourself or pay the distributor to do it. Or wait until an FPS-032n shows up on ebay. | |

| Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension Unfortunately, no one can really tell you what changes these cables will make to the sound of your system. TMR, Upscale and Music Direct have a 60 day return policy. Upscale and MD stock both brands. If you’re planning to buy new, this is the way... | |
| Integrated for Martin Logan Electrostatics ML ESL panels tend to have a difficult impedance curve and will often dip way below 2ohm. You need an amp that can remain stable into 2ohm loads. Class A or Class A/B, doesn’t matter. Power ratings will correspond with the size of your room and ho... | |

| Wilson Alexia V seating distance @chauncey if moving speakers, make small changes. Go in increments of 1/4” to 1/2” at a time. Not more than that. Take your time to evaluate. Use several reference tracks. Wilson speakers are super sensitive to placement. Take your time with it. I... | |
| Lumin U2 mini music streamer I had the U1 Mini with Qutest. A very good sounding combination but the Lumin software is not that great. I switched to Roon and liked the sound and the user experience much better. Try it for 30 days free before you return the Lumin or start buyi... | |
| Quick Question About Power Cables unreceivedogma 783 posts 06-23-2023 at 12:21pm Here we go again. For what it is worth, imo power chords don't do much, if anything. I disagree. Have you tried playing your stereo after pulling every single power cord out? | |
