Morrow Audio Speaker Cables
Troutstreamnm, how did you like your sp6?  It’s been months now, they should be completely loosened up by now.   
Morrow Audio Speaker Cables
My system cabling is all Morrow. Level 6 on speakers, level 4 on everything else. I did not use their breakin service although god knows they definitely need breakin to sound their best. I chose to save the money and experience the joy of hearing ... 
Warm sounding phono cartridge
My experience with a Hana was that it required a significant amount of break in. As the hours piled up, the midrange bloomed and the bottom both control and extension improved. Due to this, I also discovered the best settings on the phono pre were... 
Question about high current amps versus "not high current amps"
I will very quietly suggest that the best tool for evaluating how well an amp drives a speaker is to listen to the combination.  You can try to think your way into decisions but using those comparison tools on your head is much more fun and they w... 
Pass....Accuphase....or......
Pass Lab products have the reputation for being built to be extremely reliable. This reputation is based not on verbiage from their website, but rather by very rarely having a problem in peoples system. They are typically very conservative in rate... 
Why isn’t more detail always better?
I must say, this thread has proven people can discuss a subject at length without someone pissing in someone else’s post toasties. Kudos to all. My two cents: Low (volume) level detail can get lost in noise, so chasing hum and AC noise can pay d... 
Do you have a perfect digital marriage?
I’ve found the perfect marriage solution by getting a divorce from all things digital over a decade ago.   Life is blissful with my bachelor’s all analog system.   
Wilson Sasha DAW vs. Sabrina X
The DAWs are reputed to be more coherent and revealing as a tribute to dear old dad. I bought a pair recently and love them, but could use another 1/2 octave on the bottom. Subs would be awfully nice.   
Pass Labs 350.8 or 260.8 ?
MM662, What did you end up doing?  I recently bought Sasha DAWs and am considering Pass Labs 260.8 monos as an amp upgrade. Curious to know which speaker/amp combo you landed on.   
Add-Powr Symphony Pro vs. Telos Q.N.R. vs. Audio Magic Large P.E.A.?
Hi, I followed up recently, not on this post, but on the one you made re mad scientist contact treatment formula experimentation. You responded in fascinating detail, thank you. Oddly, I Audiogon won’t let me reply to your response. I’m trying he... 
Amp for the new Watt Puppy speakers
I bought my DAWs after auditioning them on D’agostino integrated at a dealer.  They sounded good enough to buy obviously but for me the combo was a little exaggerated on top and kind of fatiguing especially on digital sources. Your mileage may var... 
Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker
Wilson claims to stock replacement drivers for all their products, new and old. No clue what they would cost.   Ditto on the amplifier comment. Need something that swings some juice. If you are going to refresh the old watt/puppies and need a co... 
ROCKPORT TECHNOLOGIES: ATRIA 2 ROOM SIZE ?
Thanks Claude!  Sounds like I caught you miles down the audiophile road. I went with a pair of the Wilson Sasha DAWs. Just got them installed this week, but I’m very pleased so far. If my preamp weren’t tube based I might have found the DAWs a lit... 
Best monoblock amps for $2000 used
Two affordable suggestions with upgrade paths: 1. New Odyssey Khartago stereo chassis with Kismit upgrade. When funds allow, send it back to Odyssey to convert to more powerful monoblock and buy another one. They have a very affordable upgrade op... 
ROCKPORT TECHNOLOGIES: ATRIA 2 ROOM SIZE ?
Wow, nothing?  I’m in a similar boat with a similar question. Did you buy them?  If so, how did they do in your room?
