Speltz Anti-cable needs break-in period?
Hey pal, we don't take too kindly to shills around here, especially ones with poor spelling and punctuation. In fact, your excessive incorrect use of apostrophes makes me suspect that you are Mr. ELF himself (see the ELF website to see what I mean... 
Upgrade to Cayin TAD-30 or tweak ASL?
Guess I'd better start a new thread then...

Greg_P, please forgive me for sidetracking your thread, but I thought I'd ask here rather than start a new thread.There is a lot of discussion of the TAD-30, but the current models of Cayin integrateds that Acoustic Sounds sells are the S A-50T, S... 
Soundtrack to "The Pawnbroker"
Sure, and it's available on Amazon.com. Didn't you bother to Google it? 
Coping in an Age of Uncertainty
Jeez, I think the iPod is a great invention, which raises the bar for mobile sound for most people. Whoever said it's meant to replace your home stereo? 
Ayre C5xe or APL 3910 ?

ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them?

About $150 in parts is all you would find in just about ANY $800 amplifier. That's the economics of it. Also, remember that this is a very different technology. Comparing parts is a bit misleading.In my system, they did not compete with the Rowlan... 
BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS?
Of the three pairs of speakers currently in my living room, both the Thiels and the Green Mountain Europas do a good job at low volume (the Europas are best). The Harbeths--not good. FWIW, both the Thiels and the Europas sport first-order crossovers.

Tin_Cup: I don't understand what you mean about - over +. If they are braided, how is there any difference?I started using the Speltz a while back and really like them soncially. Extraordinary clarity and lack of grain. A bit lighter in the bottom... 
Klyne pre-amps, any experience out there?
Just to balance things out, I had one for a while and didn't care much for it. And Mr. Klyne never responded to any of my emails.
