| DAC for all tube 2 channel set up? Sam Ash has a return policy, that's where I found the Apogee USB DAC for about $900 +, back then.Lavry used to have a trial period on their DACs too. Benchmark and perhaps others like PS Audio do too. the MHDT DACs seem to have no trouble selling ... | |
| Y power cable for Monoblocks Nick_srYep.. were I you, thats what Id do as well. Well, be that way if you want too. I was once myself a serious doubter of power cables and conditioners at large. Interconnects as well were more snake oil to me than anything else. Racks, coupl... | |

| DAC for all tube 2 channel set up? OK Ill lplay the advocate here.As good as perhaps the aforementioned DAC s are, and Ive no reason to doubt it, Ive found there is sufficient info which tells me a system is comprised of the whole of things.To that end, and owning a tube power t... | |

| How to keep ic's and power cords from touching Kite String, velcro, zip ties.I like the pipe coverings idea and the CC foam for lifting cables from the floor. Now that one I'll try despite the fact the wires will bitch about laying on a lumpy surface rather than a smooth one.I've seen velcro s... | |
| Y power cable for Monoblocks "I believe in keeping it simple, i.e.: the shortest signal path with the least amount of components."Power isn't signal. There's miles & miles of wire out there before wwe tap into it... a few more feet won't hurt there... as you're about to d... | |

| Krell FPB 600 or 250M's? FWIW...of the big amps I've heard the Krell was great. Didn't hear it with Proac speakers though. It was driving some 802 Matrix. I liked the Krell 600, MC602, and Linn 500 monos. For myself, I'd probably go with the Big Mac today as it's a curren... | |
| I need SS muscle tvadReview my post... I believe I said I previewed (auditioned) the Gen IIIs with my Krell KAV 250 amp, in a smaller room than the OPs. by a good bit.I wasn't impressed. Partly that's why I went into the Silverlines. Life for me too or maybe just ... |
