Speaker Cable for Tube SET System?
PS: Any comments on the Analysis Plus Oval 12's and the Mapleshade cables with tube amps? 
Speaker Cable for Tube SET System?
Thanks: I had not considered the first Coincident cable and believe that MR. Blume bases many of his designs on tube amplification. The snag is that I choose not do business with my local dealer, so will have to look elsewhere. I have also been go... 
Speaker Cable for Tube SET System?
Sutts: Thanks, but they are about a grand over budget if I remember correctly.

Thanks Doug: The Vans was the other one on my hit list. I am really just looking for an extension cord with surge protection that will not mess with the sound. Seems simple, but it's not.

Upgrade the tubes in the DAC if you have not done so already. Do a search on the AA site for specifics for your unit, or perhaps someone will pitch in here. 
Best value speakers available
Thanks Paul: They sound very doable with a reasonably priced push/pull setup. Some of my favorite value speakers have already been listed, but I will repeat them as well as add to the list. Most interesting are the small Magnapan's, and at a highe...

Metaphysic's: The majority of our art is Haitian and the canvas grain though covered with acrylic paint (except on very old pieces which are oil) is still clearly visible. I disagree that this treatment is not superior to bare wall (dry wall in ou...

I agree with both Sean and Tom in regard to using diffusers on the back wall and withdraw the canvas painting suggestion (unless that is all that you can do). The paintings do however work at the first reflection points on the side walls and offer... 
What s Your Frame of Reference?
I play a broad selection of CD's (some of them not being quality recordings at all). I focus on specific instruments (and even notes) but also on how the music sounds as a whole. I prefer that our system sound good on a variety of material instead...

Thanks Craig: I will get it out this week, just need to dig out the shipping box. Best regards, David Keil.

Emily: I have a wall of books behind the speakers (out of necessity). This may not fit into your decor, but it sure sounds good. The shelves are not enclosed (as to not create a bunch of right angle corners) but are of the "standard" type (the lit...
