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 ... 
The best speaker cables you’ve had
Just moved from Fidelium to Purist Audio Venustas. Very impressed. They added more depth and detail than I was getting with the Fideliums which I had used for approximately 4 years.  
The weirdness of it all
I never put much stock into power cabling as I never had a system able to reflect the improvements they may have provided. Now I have a system that is super revealing and I have spent the last 4 months auditioning and running experiments with a m...

We've already exchanged emails on the Sternklangs. I will try them to see if they dethrone my Fideliums soon. Did I mention I hate him. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in again (M. Corleone).

I had the most impact on the amp, followed by the preamp when it came to PC's. Moreso exposing deficiencies in other cables then followed by drawing you in to the seductive sound. Then you try to go back or start mixing in different combinations w...

Silversmith Fideliums right now. Soon, will audition Sternklangs. Curious about Townshend's.

More shenanigans with power cables happening. A few updates on my system page. The Combak company is the real deal for musicality.  
PS Audio BHK 250 Power Amp owners?
Isn't a Magtech a Coda cousin? I have a Coda 8 Continuum and it has to be the best amp (of 35 owned) in 20 years. I'd love to swing a Coda 16. When I bought my Wilson Sasha's at Albert's shop we auditioned them with the BHK's and I absolutely ha...
