Choosing new cables
@bobheinatz I love the 866 too.  Really happy with it on all counts.  The Takumi is still breaking in, but most prominent to me so far is increased detail and musicality.  To my ear, there is a better sense of flow without loss of precision with r... 
Choosing new cables
@bobheinatz I have the Boulder 866 in a simple system with the Project RS2 CD Box transport and Joseph Perspective2s.  I just initiated a cable upgrade with a similar budget. I have tried a number of different power cables with the 866, including ... 
Speaker cable recommendations
You might check out Silversmith Fidelium. A completely different design than what you listed, I believe, but thin (like tape) and flexible. They are at or near the top of your budget. I’ve been very happy with mine.  And Jeff is great to work with... 
QStab NSE CD Stabilizer/ Highly Recommended for Jay's/Avatar CD Transport!
Re using the Qstab with the Project RS2 CD Box, to make mine fit, I sanded down the knob on the top, and then removed material from the bottom.  It now fits.  However, the magnet on the Qstab is so strong that when I remove it, I have to press dow... 
Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
Aaron from Now Listen Here came by my house earlier this week and was a huge help with regard to placement and toe in.  It was a great visit and I am very appreciative.  He also brought a set of Transparent Ultra speaker cables. They definitely we... 
New! Cerious Technologies Lumniscate cables
I had a great moment listening with my wife last night. I stopped halfway through Hejira and switched my Cerious lumniscate digital AES back in, taking out another cable. After I restarted Hejira, she looked up and said, “what did you just do? Thi...

@prof so happy to hear about your experience with 2112.  Side one, in particular, is one of my favorites and I have yet to spin it since I bought the Perpective2s.  I’ll have to move that up in the queue.  I still have so much music to try out wit...

@thr1961 Down to the Waterline off of Dire Straits’ first album was a revelation for me with my Perspective2s.  So much air and space around the guitar notes in the introduction.  The sound of the guitar is just perfect.  Just stunning.  I like th... 
speaker cable question
I have the silversmith fideliums and am very happy with them in my system.

Re cabling, I am using Silversmith Fidelium with my Perspective2s.  They sound great.  My dealer recommended Transparent ultra bi wire but I haven’t pulled the trigger on that.  I did order biwire connectors from Silversmith.  In my experience, sp... 
Spectron Audio Musician II Class D Amp - anybody still using?
I loved my Spectron M III.  A friend is now enjoying it.  Why not give it a try?  
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
@prof — that’s great news.  Glad it worked out.  I’m enjoying my p2s immensely as I write.  Hope it’s not a long wait.   
New! Cerious Technologies Lumniscate cables
@lancelock — yes, the LTA power supply is great.   I’ll check with Bob on the umbilical.  I’m very happy with the lumniscate AES/EBU cable I just bought from him.   
Linear power supply
@robshaw , I have the LTA LPS paired with the Pro-Ject RS2 CD Box T.  It is a noticeable improvement over the stock unit.  I’m very happy with it. But I can’t compare it to other LPS, because I haven’t heard any of the others.  You might check Ter... 
New! Cerious Technologies Lumniscate cables
@lancelock — can you tell me about the structure and make up of the umbilical?  I asked Zavfino make an OCC-based umbilical to connect my LTA power supply and Pro-Ject RS2 CD Box transport, but they declined. I had a mind to contact Bob as well.
