Any Nashville enthusiasts?
I'm sending out an email today to some folks who I have been able to reach. Agon makes it almost impossible to reach out to one another. There is no intention of competing with the already established Nashville Audio Society, but they are on facec... 
Tube preamp match with Solid Stare amp
TMAC, I also have a Coda 8. Previously had a Don Sachs Model 2 preamp and they mated well but I could never eliminate the tube noise even with help from Don and using balanced cables (even though his xlr connectors were not balanced). I then purc... 
Any Nashville enthusiasts?
I'm willing to kick that off. I have a history of hosting 50 folks to all day home theater and stereo get-togethers back in MIchigan in the 2008-2012 years. We had a Michigan home theater group, HEMI. I don't have an HT these days but put all my S... 
Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000
I need to do a write up on my cable journey this year from Transparent, to Purist, to Kubala, then to Cardas. Technical term warning: I spent a crap-ton of money on cabling in 2023. And I'm actually not quite finished so more pain ahead.  
Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000
I tired some others but the Cardas Clear Beyond XLRs on my system are great. Here's a pair very nicely priced. I just bought those yesterday from Mr. Resnick (WBF). Moving up the Cardas chain now.

I'm considering selling my two Wizards. I don't seem to be gaining any positive effect from them. Well built and all, but not contributing to my environment.

Tip for purchase new power cable
This spring/summer I went through a herd of power cables. All price ranges and all types of technologies and wire topologies. Surprisingly, cables like Signal Cable PC was very good for the money and did a nice job. I bought a pair of very old BM... 
Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u
Had an X250.5, not the .8 and a M800A, not the 900. Both smooth, the Luxman like butter on a hot day.  But, overall (broad brush) it was too smooth and if choosing again for my gear, the Pass would be the choice of the two. Presently using a Coda...

Puritan vs Nordost Power Cable
I have connected a Kubala Sosna Elation, and an Emotion to the Puritan 156 with good results. I have also used a BMI Whale Elite, an Elrod EPS2 and 3, an NRG Godzilla 5 is on there now, and some Harmonix and Hijiri's to the front of the Puritan. ...

Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
I have no TWL cables in the house of any kind.  
Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
I probably like Pete more than his cables🤣 but he is built for customer service and is very accommodating. He has some unique wire that can work for most. I found the NRG cables to be high quality but heavy in the bass department, and as much as ...
