What's better than FIM power cords
The VH Audio Airsine is a quite flexible. 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
Is it just me or has Bruce developed the "Bob Dylan" syndrome in the last few years? Nope, it's not just you. I saw him on Storytellers or one of those types of shows recently and couldn't understand a word he said. Plus he's become way too politi... 
Did anyone hear the Cardas "Clear Beyond"...
Clear Blue Yonder cannot be far behind. Sorry, beyond.I think they should call them "Sky High".

Need some cd player advice for redbook only
I've owned the 308t and its an excellent player. The player had excellent dynamics and bass slam. I liked Mullard tubes in the player, which added some warmth and richness. My only concern would be the simple fact that the 308t hasn't been made fo... 
Best high end monitors?
Below is a quote from Bobby at Merlin from another current thread that sheds some light on his thoughts on amps: i have used the joule and atma otls at shows for 10 or 12 years now. swampwalker makes a number of points i would agree with comparing... 
Best high end monitors?
Jp1208, I just meant that Merlins are normally considered better mates to tube amps, as opposed to the 400w ss amps used by the original poster. They may very well work, but on paper I don't think its the best match. 
Guitar's...what do the audionuts play?
Collings D1A, Huss & Dalton DS Custom, Martin D-28 Marquis and a Collings MF Mandolin. 
Best high end monitors?
You should probably try the Ushers to satisfy your curiosity. Also, i would add the new Tyler Decade 3 and Decade 4 monitors to your list. I would normally recommend the Merlin TSM's, but I'm not sure they would be the best choice with your amp. 
Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC

Help me get the most out of my Merlin TSM MX
I have the TSM-MMe's and use Acoustic Zen Satori speaker cables with great results. In regard to amps, I'm using a pair of VAC 70/70 Musicblocs that are excellent with the Merlins. 
Opinions: ML 390S, Esoteric D70, Opus21, Capitole?
And it is surely much better build than Opus, with its noisy, DVD transport!The Opus actally uses a CD-ROM drive, as opposed to a DVD drive. While the transport seems a bit lightweight in its stock form, it functions very well and is very quick i... 
Audio Aero Prima - not responding
If it ended up costing $800, I'd dump this POS in the river, out of principle...Actually, I would take it to the local shooting range and put some holes in it and then mail it back to to Audio Aero. $800 for that repair is absurd. 
What footer best under cd player
I like the Brightstar products. On the cheap, their Isonodes are quite effective in my system and, if you want to spend some money, their sand fillable platforms are nice. With a CDP I like the Isonodes underneath, with some weight on top. The Her... 
Floorstanding Speakers - 12'x14' Room
I would suggest looking at the Merlin TSM, which are in your budget. The ideal listening triangle for the TSM is 6.5 feet apart and the listening position 9-9.5 feet away. I have mine set about 1.5 from the wall (measured from the rear). Better ye...
