HiDiamond Power cords...
What I noticed from the P3 to the P4 is that the soundstage is wider and deeper in the P4 and more delicately refined....Definitely bigger sounding.....The P4's do everything my "SOLD" Synergistic Research Hologram A(SE),D(SE), Precision AC(SE), T...

lol. these take so long to post, I thought it didn't take...Oh well. Definitely made the point..... 
HiDiamond Power cords...
@all, I would like to third Paz307/Joncourage's comments, my system is at 92% and with a few more adjustments I will have all HiDiamond cabling. I will admit that these do need serious break-in, but at the end of the days, you will be amazed and y... 
HiDiamond Power cords...
Absolutely, I will thirdly enhance paz307's/Joncourage's conclusions of the HiDiamond cabling and will also be off the merry-go-round of cables and rest with the HiDiamonds. I am roughly 92% cabled with HiDiamond and will soon be at 100%.I will st... 
Power conditioning / surge protection
in regards to POWER CONDITIONING, has anyone tried the Isotek Aquarius? If so can you explain your experience....I have read lots of great things......It is one of few that does not limit quality....THX 
Need multi-channel that's great on 2 channel
I run a Dared DV-6C multichannel analogue integrated amp. It is a Hybrid Integrated tube pre/ solid state 65x6. It's quality way surpassed my Parasound HCA 2205AT 220x5 power amp and my Onkyo Pro SC-885 prep processor priced at $4500 list. The Dar... 
Emotiva XSP-1 Pre-amp
I think Emotiva redeeemed themselves with the UMC-200. I think as they are spending the extra time with the XMC-1 it will turn out great in the final product. WE HOPE!!!!

@Jriggy, that's too bad as I need about 8-8.5 feet for my sub... 
HiDiamond Power cords...
I switched my HD 7 interconnect on my sub for an XLR2 because my new Pre has XLR. All I can say is that it is a huge improvement in tightness of bass, volume & defenition. Not saying the HD7 wasn't good - just the XLR obviously suits this comp... 
HiDiamond Power cords...
@Guidocorona, it is a custom order for an ungrounded cord at the factory to be made. 
HiDiamond Power cords...
@Jackwalker, the ungrounded means the ground is taken out. The ground pin is still there but nothing in the cord. I'm assuming it's capped off. Commonly used for pre amps/processors. 
HiDiamond Power cords...
My ungrounded P4 has about 250+ hours on it now and I have noticed an extremely silent noise floor. The soundstage width and depth has increased and the bass seems to have more weight to it. The extension this power cord can do is absolutely amazi... 
Paradigm signatures with tube amp
I used to have paradigm S2's v3 with a Hybrid tube integrated. The paradigms are definitely a very bright speaker and tubes really tame the highs. I eventually sold the paradigms and will never go back to paradigm........ 
Which would be a better surround processor.
@Dbphd, I am making it obvious as to my opinion that for a $1300 + dollar BDP-universal player, the $600 dollar Emotiva UMC-200 has far better sound quality in the analogue department. It is what it is.....some good friends with real revealing sys... 
Topnotch BluRay Concert.....
@Jp1208, where did you pic up Metallica? I saw them live in Apple River Wisconsin back in the 90's after the "black" album. Huge outdoor concert. Must have been 30,000 people or more....
