Entire system cable recommendation
I have to admit that in 2009 I have done the last tests with Hidiamond. These days I work a lot with Audioquest, Kimber and Purist Audio Design. 
5.1 under 4k?
The Apex sub of Monitor Audio is cheaper and better then the RX subwoofer. Most other sub's in this price range are a lot less fast in speed than the Apex Sub. I never sell the RX sub, go for the better and less expensive Apex sub. Next step go fo...

Hidiamond cables can give a very pleasant warm overwhole sound. But the weakest point of many of there cables is speed and timing. They are not the best cables in speed and controle.

Def. Technology does not have crossovers to give depth and a wide stage. This is a standard use all the time. You would be a fool to choose for a 2-dimensional sound. I learn people the difference between 2 and 3-dimensional sound. I never had a c...

I have had very expensive highend sets for many years. But I wanted to give clients the same feeling for less money. A deep and wide stage is the most important part for the absolute sound. A 3-dimensional sound is so much more thrilling than most...

I heard a few, the material they use is not the best in response. I did test many sub's in my life. Almost all sub's are too slow to get a stealth integration. Instruments and voices are very small in dimension. Many sub's make them bigger in prop... 
What mid priced receiver sounds best?
The 818 is a stunning amp. Wenn you use Audyssey XT32 well there is no competition in this price tag. I sold a few this year and had stunning results. In a big farm with the worst acoustics ever I had a stunning sound only cause of Audyssey XT32.

Best qualified surround speakers for home theater
The best speakers have the best cabinets, best crossovers and best internal wiring. Best cabinets means less colouration. Best crossovers means depth and a wide stage. Most speakers even expensive ones all make poor or average crossovers. They giv... 
Need multi-channel that's great on 2 channel
The way I measure even XT32 is superior in drive and resolution than without. Also for stereo use. I measure at different places and hights. Audyssey uses it wrong. There way you will loose dynamics. I use Audyssey at a perspective from highend au...

Upgrade from AQ King Cobra to Columbia DBS
You need to go for the 72v version. This version is already a few years on the market. The newer versions are more dynamic. 
Power cord connectors
I have Oyaide 004, Oyaide F1 and also Furutech FI50. Oyaide is better. I have a Purist Audio 20th Ann with Oyaide F1 and 1 with topmodel of Furutech FI50. The Oyaide has clear more dynamics and also more detail. I will sell the FI50 and go for an ... 
Old Valhalla as Power Chord or New Frey 2 please
I used and sold Nordost my way. Because wenn you use only nordost in your system you miss essential parts which should be there. I sold it a lot with Kimber interconnects. This made the stage wider and deeper. The focus of instruments and voices m...
