Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did???
HI OP,  As many state, I too wanted to live the tube life, sweet rich and non fatiguing.  My first toe in the tube water was PS Audio, where I trialed lower end stuff and ended up with BHK Preamp, BHK stereo amp and DS DAC.  Both Amp and pre are '... 
Proceed AVP2
Hello,I owned an AVP.  The AVP 2 was an upgraded model; if new it had the AVP 2 insignia.But, one could return the AVP to have it 'upgraded' at the factory to AVP2 specs and standards.Thanks,  Ken 
Opinions on Parasound A21 & A21+
Here is an update on my amps;  I replaced the M700's with the BHK 250.A nice upgrade, more detailed and smoother.  But between the BHK preamp and BHK amp I could not deal with the noise or hiss from my efficient B&W N802's.  I swapped in my Cl...

Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
jbmays:  Hearing is my reasoning!  That is the only reason I upgraded my power cables.  Do you get that?  You don't have to understand it to appreciate it.  That is what everyone is saying.  If you don't get it (hear it) then you don't need it.

Thanks I watched Mr Winer's You Tube video.  Smart guy.I had a friend over who believed all in science, being that upgraded interconnects do not matter.  He wanted to try his DAC in my system, so we inserted it with his balanced interconnects.  It... 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
bikerbw:" would you chance a lot of returns or bad reviews because you cheaped out on the cord." I think most notable reviewers use their own upgraded interconnects, speaker cables and power cables in their reviews. 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
I wonder how many of the nay sayers who claim power cables do not make a difference have even tried upgraded PC's?  To me, they either have not tried or can not hear.  And it is usually them who cite science to explain away any possible benefit.  ...

Mola Mola Makua Pre. / DAC
If you are interested in the Mola Mola stuff I suggest you call Bill Parrish at GTT Audio in NJ.  He is super nice and very informative.  Tell him Ken Kyser recommended.  I auditioned a Luxman integrated and it did not do it for me.  Nice knobs th... 
Mola Mola Makua Pre. / DAC
...and, my N802's are dead quiet now with the Audionet and the Classe.I had constant noise...hiss etc with the BHK stuff.  PS Audio's customer service is great, but they had trouble hearing the noise on their bench that I heard in my system.
