Anyone tried the Shunyata Venom PC?
I had Shunyata Diamondback cord on a digital source and then compared it to the Audience powerChord.I highly recommend Audience powerChord for a digitial source(as a matter of fack, I now use the powerChord on all my components, digital or analog)... 
Pass X1 / X250 - how to get a bit foregivable ???
in my experience, what makes it unlistenable is usually a source component. Not the pre-amp, not the amp. Try a different player. May be a tube cd player would be a good solution. Just a thought.... 
any REALLY good music video suggestions?
Metallica: With the San Francisco Symphony: S&M; Metallica: Cunning Stunts......funny name ain't it.

Optimizing my CD Source - what to do?
cool. I didn't think it would compare.Audio Mirror is a good dac for what it costs though, but it ain't 508.24 sound. 
What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K?
dodson da218 dac with a good transport will be a killer redbook playback. As good as it gets in its price class.As one box players go, I really like my ARC CD3MkII, but it's ubder your budget. So may be ARC CD7 will be a better choice for you. 
Optimizing my CD Source - what to do?

Taipan Alpha vs Taipan Helix Alpha
is it as flexible as Audience powerChord? Because it will have to make a pretty good turn. thanks 
Have AZ Martrix Ref II's/ Compare to Silver Ref 2
Foster, I think with your config it's a little different. You're running directly to integrated. It's a different story than if you had a source to pre and then pre to amp. So I think the best way to find out is to try. In general, Silver Ref II i... 
Comparisons of Audience and VH Flavor 1 PC's
Audience is my preffered power cord on every component in my system. The more of them the better. Even if you have other PCs on your analog components, Audience will still shine on a cd player. It is a very flexible cord as well. I had A VH Flavor... 
B&W 803D vs N802
you're welcome 
B&W 803D vs N802
Rps944, I'd go for 803D if I were you. Better tweeter that provides very smooth highs, 3 bass drivers that will equal if not exceed the bass performance of the N802 and improved crossover. I heard both speakers more than once. 803D is superior. 
B&W 803D and Pathos Classic One
I heard this speaker with MAC integrated which is 75w/ch. Sounded nice but was not able to play them at realistic levels. MAC would give up. Heard them in another store with MAC 100/ch solid state amp, it gave up playing Metallica at a relatively ... 
Audio Research Pre Amp LS15
LS-15 doesn't have a built-in phono section. You'll have to get a separate phono preamp to use with your TT and the connect the phono pre to any available LS-15 line-level input. As far as i-pod, I think you can connect it if you use mini-plug-to-...
