Wilson Audio's New Sound?
I to was one who didn't care for older Wilson speakers until I heard a set that Peter Mcgrath set up and it was very nice and surprised me and these were older Wilson Sophia I believe. I recently went to Illinois on business and went into a hi-end... 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers

What power conditioner to use with Bel Canto Amps?
I would like to strike my last response in this thread. I have been lead down the dark tunnel and there was light at the end. I now use Running Springs Audio Conditioners and power cords. This is the only conditioner I've heard of and the HZ cord ... 
Opinions on the Mcintosh C500T?
My biggest problem with the C500T wasn't that it was not a very capable pre. I enjoyed it very much but am a bit flustered that I spend all that money on a pre and they send it to me with tubes that are worthless. I couldn't even play phono with m... 
Kubala sosna new Elation cables

Kubala sosna new Elation cables
I'm glad to find some stuff on this cable. It was just recommended to me and I suppose I've been in the dark as to not have really looked at the Kubala Sosna line. I will soon be testing the Emotion and Elation in my system start to finish. The em... 
Advice from vinyl types on a good CD player
I was told in a thread similar to this a while back to try the cdp202 from classe. I bought it. I love it. I was not listening to cd's due to sound before this. My TT is the mcintosh MT10. My friend came over today to listen to my setup for the fi... 
mono amps one weaker than the other ????
I'm having the same problem with my new system. My problem is in my pre amp and started when using the phono stage it took a zap or something. I have the c500T from mcintosh. Don't know what the problem is but it comes and goes. Plays fine then th...

Ha, thanks Dan. Man I tell you, this is amazing. To all the non believers in power cords and conditioners, ha... I tell you, I was one of those non-believers til I got shunyata stuff.Beerdraft 
can't wait, must put power conditioner in now.
WOW, WOW, WOW, The Vray is a winner! Man this addition was like going from SS to tube, man the liquidness and dead qiute it added was amazing. The stage and imageing was also much improved. Then I added the python helix to the pre amp and man it j... 
Cables Are Crazy, what do you think?
Cables do transefer signals but what type of noise do they create or get rid of in the process? If he can't hear the difference then he can't hear well or he doesn't listen. My neighbors aren't audiophiles or videophiles but they can tell the diff... 
Has anybody compared Lessloss and Shunyata pcs
Drummermitchell, I'm looking for your cords for sale. I love the shunyata cords, wouldn't think of trying something else unless it was a loaner. Every cord I put against them, not the less loss, but all I tried, failed to compete. JMO, beerdraft 
Review: Mcintosh MT10 Turntable
Hi Noams, thanks and I do love my TT. I understand it'd better be a lot better than the project. I tell you though what really brings this mcintosh TT to life is running it with mcintosh pre amps thru thier phono stages. I've recently added the C5...
