For power cables, I recommend: NBS, Kimber Kable, GutWire, DH Labs. I do not recommend listening to roberjerman.

Tri - Wire with Bi - Wire: Which to Bridge?
I agree with the Synergistic guy, however with one possibility of result. It might create a speed problem in the bass.Try it and see if you hear any bloating or slowness in the sound. If so, switch the jumpers from the mids to highs with the NBS c...

which integrated amp would you go with hegel h160 or rotel ra 1592
Neither, you don't need that kind of power for those speakers. I would look at a tube integrated or a hybrid like a Pathos Classic One MKIII or Unison. 60 - 100 watts per channel.

Rega Isis cd player ......Dedicated 20 amp circuit?
Looking at photos of the rear of your cd player, it does not have the 20A male IEC power cord receptacle. The pin pattern for a 20A cord is different than a 15A cord. What makes you think you have a 20A cord?
