Anyone have any experience w/ Usher AC-10's?...
I agree about the AC-10 described above. Your are in the front row. Usher also does not recommend them for HT use as the ceramic drivers can crack with very loud SPLs. I did compre them to the Aerial 10Ts (hooked up to different components of less... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Hologram II Speaker cable
For mono runs youshould be using the IIs not the Is as was stated by Jeff above. My Pass X-250 loves the larger size copper cable so that is why I think the DIY cable works so well in my own system.Happy Listening. 
Aerial 10 T Owners Need Advice
Jazzdude,I was looking at the mezzo utopias but the used price was $6K and they are a little big for my room I feel. The 10Ts have a slightly smaller footprint. I have a Pass X-250 which Bound for Sound loves especially with speaker loads at 4 ohm... 
Best Amp for my new Speakers?
Bound for Sound loves the Pass X-250 with speakers that are in the 4 ohm range and I love mine. Plus they are the best at cusotmer servie period. The X-250 is a much better amp that the Rowland 10, my 10 year old Kinergetics KBA-75 sounded just as... 
DAC for Sony SCD 777ES, Levinson, Audio Note?
The new Audio Logic DAC is the best DAC I have heard comparing it to Audiomeca, Audio Note. Own the 777 also but it does not sound harsh using an Elrod Sig 3 on it. 
looking for best isolation platform for CD player
Rcprince is correct. The KWorks IsobaseKs were the best isolation designs I have heard especially for the money. The bases are designed to reduce vibration instead of the coupling and decoupling devices. The designer offers Power Cords (Empowered ... 
Where is my weakest link?
No dedicated AC lines? Or power AC conditioning maybe the biggest bang for the buck. What are you using to isolate vibration with the CDP, etc.? 
Amp for Wilson Watt Puppy 7
You may want to contact Mikey Fremer at Stereophile. He just reviewed them but he had many high end amps on hand that he did not mention in the review along with the Halcros, his MF amps, Pass mono blocks, Musical Fidelity new mono blocks, etc. I ...

I have heard both at two different dealers. The Sonus with an all Krell system 400 wpc the Dyno's with a Meridian front end using the Accuphase 30 wpc class A amp with on board DAC. The Sonus are a wonderful sounding speakers leaning towards the w... 
Review: Ridge Street Audio Midnight Silver Edition GEN. II Interconnect
Lak,I may have a new IC for you to try out in the near future. I have been selling the Empowered AC cord and the designer now is ready with his new ICs. They are designed around the same principal as the power cord, reducing noise for better detai... 
B & W Nautilus
The N802 is a very nice speaker for the used prices. You need to mate them to the right components. I have heard them with Krell amps and they sound very nice, I have heard them with an Accuphase 30 wpc class A amp and thought they sounded too bri... 
Pass Labs X-250 and CJ Premier 17LS
I heard the copmbo with the MKII and it was very nice sounding. There should be no problems with the Pass X-250.Happy Listening 
What benefit do bullet plugs add to ICs?
Since there is more plastci than metal they are less conductive than metal ends so they help to reduce RF, etc. 
What are you all doing to modify your cds?
I gave up my muscle car, GTO, a while ago but now have the new Z. Maybe I will add a blower or two on it in a year or two. Oh yeah, I have also tried some juice and edge markers and sometimes they do make a difference but for the price they are al...
