Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
Krjr: So tell us more about it, we are all ears. Do they have a website? 
What's your profession? Age?
Well, I'm 46 years old (would be 47 but I was sick a year) and I feel good about myself and I am currently unemployed. There, that wasn't so hard. 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
Krjr: Never heard of Absolute (cords that is). Do you have any info on them yourself to share? Are they as effective as let's say the Walker HDL's? What type of system did you just purge with them? 
Is there an SACD that can play cds well?
Albert, that is quite a statement about the 9000ES. I must have missed your feedback on it before. I have only listened to the 777 model which was not run in at the time, and did not sound very good to me. I cannot use a top loader anyway, even wi... 
Help out a Young Audiophile
Perhaps you could take the jobs that "Tim the Tireguy" is not up for. 
I don,t Understand ????
It was a nice offer, unlike many other companies that will defend their right to be wrong to the bitter end. Audio Note, UK recently dropped the price of Black Gate capacitors which then initiated a stir as to whether the line was being discontinu... 
Tubes for modulus 3A ?
Monk: Very intersting. I will look into the 7dj8's as well. I almost made the mistake of giving our friend some of my Amperex 6922's, but fortunately searched AA before doing so. I will see if I can use the 7dj8 in my amp as well. I enjoy trying o...

It couldn't be much more difficult than dressing a deer and our butcher never charged anywhere near $2600.00 for doing this. Though come to think of it he was a butcher and perhaps this is not a good analogy. 
Mapleshade power cord
Par: Thanks for the input on the Mapleshade IC's and speaker cable. I tried a Powerburst on my DAC, but it was the older version, so I did not bother to mention it above (I liked it but it was not for sale, just a loaner). There is a "Help with tu... 
Tubes for modulus 3A ?
I purchased old production Soviet 6922 replacements from ATSI, they offer super low noise units. I have compared them to new production Sovteks in my Audion amp (which is apples to oranges with an AI preamp) and have found them to offer fuller bas... 
Help with tube amps
I would also go with Conrad Johnson for that "tube" sound. I like their amps, though have never owned one myself, and the company has a good rep and should always be around if you were to need them. The Decware, though cute, would not push your sp...

That's OK Sean, I was going to offer you some old microphonic signal tubes as payment anyway. Thought that you would enjoy listening to them sing along with the music in perfect harmony, it's kind of a Karoake effect. 
Help with tube amps
Emily: What speakers are you using and how large is your room? If the speakers are efficient and have a reasonably flat impedence curve that does not dip too low, it will open up the number of possible choices greatly and if this is not the case t...

Maybe it was a typo? 
The universal language?
Frogman: Thanks for the leads. Alula.com is listed on the Basque CD liner. DanVet (Charlie) has also listened to the CD and might be able to give another view of how good it is. We love it, but not all of our friends do. When I first got intereste...
