Wire the House A/C or get Power Conditioner?
You should do BOTH if you have the money. If you have budget for only one project, get a GOOD power conditioner FIRST, like the PS Audio's Duet and Quintet.Mind you that you need quality power cords from the power conditioner to your components, o... 
any other XLR interconnects i should demo?
With your taste and budget, you can't go wrong with the XLO's Signature 2 or Signature 3. The best in tight bass and detail in the high but not harsh. It is made of very pure copper material, so the mid is not bad either.Used Sig. 2 can be had for... 
PS Audio DL3 Level4 Dac VS redbook player?
I am never a fan of SACD myself even though I might have about 10 SACDs in my library. I am sure the C-5XE's redbook playback capability is much better than the C-7XE. Many internal components are different in the two models and I doubt those comp... 
PS Audio DL3 Level4 Dac VS redbook player?
If you can spare 4K on a used player, you can't go wrong with the Ayre C-5XE or the C-5XE MP. Too bad, I just sold my C-5XE but there is still a C-5XE MP available. Go and grap that.I have the PSA DL3 with Level 3 mod before and the Ayre's interna... 
BAT-VK31se or VK-50SE or LS17?

Finally get a response from Michael at Ayre today. The owner of the C5XE need to go thru your local Ayre dealer to arrange with Ayre for the upgrade. The cost is about US$200 plus shipping.Michael indicated that the earliest upgrade appointment av... 
Ayre's new Minimum Phase filter
That is what I am trying to find out from Michael at Ayre. Left a voice mail with him on Mar. 18, a second voice on Mar. 23, never get a response from him.Is that the service level we expect from a company with a top tier customer service? Can't i... 
Ayre's new Minimum Phase filter
I have left a message with Ayre regarding this MP upgrade to my C5XE on Wed. and still haven't heard anything back. Seems their customer service is not that great. 
Power conditioning
Nick778,Try to put a Duet before the PPP, you will be happy with the improvement.My original plan is to speed up the burn-in process of a Duet by running the PPP thru it. But boy, once it is there, you won't take it out. 
Power conditioning
I vote 200% for the PS Audio Quintet. 
Best power conditioning under 400 bucks
PS Audio's Duet for $199 and Quintet for $349. What can you ask for any more. You lucky Americian. 
Anybody tweaking by using the RCA caps?
Oh yes, the RCA caps and XLR caps do improve your system sound as well. More darker background. Keep out dust and oxidation as well.The most common are the Cardas caps, but I am using the Telos caps instead. Much better built quality and more effe... 
Acoustic Revive RCC-24.....any experience with
It is RGC-24, NOT RCC-24!It is a wonderful product that works and you can get away with just one unit for your system, i.e. for the pre-amp.The whole system will sound like energized in all aspect. I don't think you will remove it once installed. ...
