Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?
The Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme cables are very good sounding and don't here toward brightness.  Their Matrix cables are much better, but cost almost 3 times as much.  I have the CTGE cables which tended to tone my VMPS RM40 speakers wit...

Cable septic
mmporsche,I’ve done quite a bit of cable experimenting in my system over the years. If you haven’t read the long bit about the Schroeder Method (Doug is a reviewer for Dagogo online), it talks of the use of double ICs with 4 sets of connectors to ... 
Need suggestions for a $1500 used system for my daughter.......
Hey Bill,Another possibility to check out is the Vanatoo Transparent One speakers with amp and DAC built in.  At the last Axpona, I heard them and was so impressed, I went back to that room 3 times in one day to see if I still thought so.  Beautif... 
Considering Moving to an Integrated, Opinions Appreciated
@whyOwhy,The Modwright KMI 200 integrated amp has 200 watts per channel so it should have plenty of power and reserve.  The particular unit you mentioned that is for sale on US Audio Mart doesn't not have either a DAC or phono pre as is.  It does ... 
Considering Moving to an Integrated, Opinions Appreciated
Check out Modwright integrated amps.  They offer a chance to get both a DAC and phono pre inside.  If you are patient, and say you don't mind buying used, you could get one in your price range.  The sound would be right up your alley.  Read the st... 
Moving up from an Oppo 205
I’ve bought 3 Modwright players--the Sony 9000, 9100, and my current 5400 with all Dan’s upgrades. I’ve loved them all and bought all used on Audiogon. My whole system has been bought used except for some of the cables. I’ve had great success in g... 
Popular new/used SS stereo power amps under $2500?
If you can find a pair of Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE mono amps, they are going use for about $1300-1600 a pair. They have all the power you might need and sound very detailed with no etch, very good dynamics, bass, and have 175 watts per channel. If you ...

@Doug Schroeder,When you used the Audio Sensibility Impact SE splitters, did they have the directional arrow on the cable going from the single male RCA to the 2 female RCA’s? So that the arrow would be going the wrong direction on the splitters t...

I am also using the SM on my connection between the TRL DUDE preamp and the Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE mono amps (class D) with no issues, but extreme listening pleasure.  I also use the SM on my MW 5400 CD and phono preamp to preamp with very noticeably... 
R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius
Sorry to hear about this, Roy.  You and I had many great and long conversations over the years.  Thank you for the work you put in on my Continuum 3/HX speakers.  I'm still not sure I had them working to their best when I sold them to someone who ... 
Any other lone audiophiles here?
I have several audio friends--one I grew up with, my brothers, my former roommate in college who taught me a lot about good music and how to keep records in good shape, along with a couple good buddies now that either bought something from me or I...
