Why not PS Audio's Lab cables?
I meant the first scenario. There is more info on the PC's at Audioasylum.com in the cable forum. That is unless all of the posts over there are also by Acuujim.

Yohjixme: They will probably make you one too, if you ask them. 
Stereophile's refusal to review more low
Rayhall: I understand where you are coming from and have to agree with your thoughts on the general decline of Western civilization in that only an individual (however when multiplied becomes a mass) can make a difference. It's kind of funny, in c... 
What's wrong with my Cal Delta/Sigma?
Good to hear that it just needed a little tender care. I have to do the same thing to our bedroom system that has been laying around in pieces for the last month. 
Which IC is more important?
I had a really long and juicy post to make, but now I feel somewhat stifled and just can't move on with it. Oh well. 
Stereophile's refusal to review more low
Rayhall: I have worked for quite a few companies (large ones) in my life and only one out of the many had what I would call integrity (I stayed with them for 11 years) and yes, I do think that it is too much to ask in the real world. In other word... 
Buying tubes 2nd Hand
Boy, that's a slew of 6922's. I just use one at a time for the input tube on my amp and one 5687 for the driver (the amp has a volume pot). Because of this I can buy singles and the only matched tubes that I have picked up in quantity are Amperex ... 
Buying tubes 2nd Hand
Justlisten: What are you using them in and do you use matched pairs/quads or singles? 
vibrapods or cones?
Kitch: I have the less expensive Mapleshade cones (Surefeet), but prefer the Neuance shelf (supported on upturned spikes) to the Pod/Maple/cone sandwich that I used to use on the CD player. The shelf is the same or less than the cost of a sandwich... 
Should 2nd. Buyer Receive Guarantee ?
It's their money, their company and their reputation and it's up to them (the manufacturer's). More important to me is, that if I have a warranty, how the service is, if needed. I seem to have read a lot of horror stories about products under warr... 
World Music: Great Suggestions, please?
Hi Greg: Our CD's are very disorganized right now, but here are a few that I was able to locate.1. "Georgian Voices", The Rustavi Choir, Elektra/NoneSuch2. "Robert Burns, the compete songs, Linn Records3. "Forever Tango, the Eternal Dance", InterA... 
vibrapods or cones?
Kitch: Before I switched to the Neuance shelf (for the tube amp), I used the Pods under a Maple cutting board with the amp resting on the board on its stock feet. This helped to clear up the sound, maybe because I use a 6922 type input tube and th...

I think that we are expecting too much from a business for profit. I see the mags as being a source of cheap entertainment (if you enjoy reading about gear) and would not expect them to run as a nonprofit consumer mag (though I doubt that they are... 
Citation 12 / Advent 300 Match
Classic: Can't believe that you found one. I have not seen one for sale for years. We "typed" about this amp quite some time ago (maybe at AA). It will run the original Advents well in a reasonably sized room (think you were talking about a baseme... 
2nd system at Lake home...advice?
NAD makes an all in one tuner/amp/CD player that would be less expensive than the Linn (not quite as good as the Linn from what I have read), I have not listened to it, but still very good for the money it seems. If you look into the Linn (the lat...
