New BMI Whale Elite Power Cord
Hey Sutts, how ya been? Your still looking for a PC I see. Have you had a chance to hear the FIM yet? Of all the PC you have mentioned, I still think the FIM is going to be very hard to beat. It works everywhere I have tried and in every component... 
Power Cable for a Single - Ended Amp
Hi Dill, some good suggestions above. If price is not a concern, I would go with the FIM PC. An Audiogon member (Pops) sent me an Eel PC to audition. I thought the Eel was a better sounding PC than the Fatboy, PS Lab Cable, Black Mamba and a few o... 
Marsh amps
Hi Tireguy, there has been a few threads on this amp. Go to audiophile forums and type in Marsh in the search headlines box. A very good ss amp for the money. 
Coincident Cables Experiences? Any Good?
I also had the Quattro fil and preferred the Coincident IC. I agree with above posts that this cable should not be viewed as a good budget cable but can compete or surpass the performance of cables that cost several times more than the Coincident.... 
Electrocompaniet EMC-1
Hi Briweve, that doesn't sound crazy to me. Depending on what the EMC-1 is sitting on (see isolation vs absorbtion thread) and what feet you are using under the EMC-1 can change the sound of this player dramatically. I have been able to make this ... 
Anyone heard PS Audio Lab Cable?
I found the Lab Cable to work well with amps. I also found the PS Power Plant works great with this cable. If power plant owners are looking for an excellent PC that doesn't cost a lot of money the Lab Cable is hard to beat. On CD players and pre ... 
Electrocompaniet EMC-1
Hi Daniel, I find the EMC-1 hard to fault. I was comparing the EMC-1 against the Goldmund 39 at twice the price and the Gryphon CD player at around $6500. I preferred the Goldmund's transparency but it has nothing on the EMC-1s musicality or tonal... 
Isolation vs. Absorbtion
Hi Jaybird, I can say between the surefeet and the triplepoints that the triplepoints do sound better. I was surprised at how much better. The surefeet sounded warmer, less articulate and not as precise as the triplepoints. The soundfield is broad... 
Isolation vs. Absorbtion
Thanks Redkiwi, I know you have put a lot of work in this and I am sure everyone appreciates your efforts. I know I do. Hi Dekay, at least you have a valid excuse. I do stuff like that all the time. You are an hour south of me and I do look foward... 
Isolation vs. Absorbtion
Hi Dekay, I am using 2 1/4 inch thick maple butcherblock that I got from McMaster & Carr. I found this thanks to a post left by Albertporter (thanks Albertporter) on another thread. It came 6'x 30"x 2 1/4". I was able to get 8 15x18 boards. I ... 
Isolation vs. Absorbtion
Hi all, I have been getting very good results with the Mapleshade triplepoints under my equipment with the triplepoint cones sitting on maple butcherblock. I am also using Mapleshades isoblocks under the maple which sounds better than using there ... 
Tube PreAmp Solid State Amp
Hi Koen, The Hovland pre amp could be a start. If it will work with your amps, it might do what you desire. Warm, dynamic and a bit on the romantic side. Just one of many.Good luck.

Sounds like Mr. D'appolito has a lot in common with Mr. Trelja. True gentlemen. 
Best preamp under 5k for Krell amp
Tcmod, I think Proacman's suggestion on the Hovland is an excellent choice. If you feel the Krell could use a bit more body and dimensionality along with a seductive if not accurate tonality, this could be a great match. 
Best 3-way or 4-way speaker under $15K
Hello Timber, I have no idea what the best speaker is in this price range but I just replaced my Coincident Super Eclipse with the Total Eclipse. One of the reasons I chose this speaker is because of it's efficiency. 94db and bass claiming to go d...
