| What new amp for my Merlins The six pacs are even more attractive with the silver face plates. Don't let looks fool you. I owned a V12i and many Cary people preferred the six pacs to those amps. With silver face plates if looks are what concern you, these should address that... | |
| Home Depot Ext. Cord for Speaker Cable Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity should be in your price range and has a 30 day trial period. | |
| If boulder is tops what is second tier? You mentioned a lot of nice phono preamps. You might want to add the Hagerman Trumpet to the list if you're set on buying one to replace the EAR 834P. Then again, if its Steelhead or ASR Basis territory you're eventually shooting for, maybe sendin... | |
| TG SLVR Power cord; substitute or something better Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the TG Silver's are still being made, just not by BOb. If I'm wrong about that I apologize, but I recall seeing it on the TG Audio website.I would recommend the VH Audio Flavor 4 as previously mentioned. You ... | |

| RidgeStreetAudio Poiema 3 IC'S? These are exceptional cables and Robert is first rate. Silver done right. That being said there are a lot of cables I like, but you can't go wrong with these. A bit pricey and hardly come up used, just buy them and if you don't like them return th... | |
| Jolida JD 100 PC suggestions Electrocompaniet, Consonance Droplet (prices are dropping), Cary 303/300 (tube and solid state outputs) or Cary 308T. Another option, get a DAC like the Monarchy M24 and use the Jolida as a transport. | |
| Request recommended cables for my system. The CRL cables advertised on Audiogon right now are amazingly priced and meet your sonic preferences. I also feel Ridge Street Audio makes some exceptional cables. Another option is Oritek, of which the X-1 is an amazing value. | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Excellent point Dgad.Puremusic - pointing to an APL forum is helpful but in no way is it objective IMO. | |
| A good 50-70 watts tube amplifier for $ 2000? I have had the Cary V12i and Music Reference RM-9 in my system, and the RM-9 won based on low end accuracy and extension. |
