Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound?
Resurrecting an old thread: The inexpensive JW Audio Cryo Nova speaker cables I've had for years and tried again have definitely improved the sound of my Klipsch speakers.  
Brief Review: JW Audio Cryo Nova Speaker Cables
Thanks Nonoise (good to hear from you), I know your moniker and know you've been around for a long time too! I don't contribute to the forums like I used to because I ran through all my excess funds flipping gear like a nut! - disappointing, Now I... 
What are you streaming tonight?
@ghosthouse, Khruangbin is amazing funk, soul, smooth and incredible.  They perform their music Live better than the studio. And they play so well! 
Streaming: From MacBook Pro to Bluesound Node 2
Wow Mark, thanks. I don't know if you remember me, but I remember you from many years back in these forums. Nice to see you're still around, and thanks for the feedback. I actually use an Audiophilleo 2 usb to spdif converter.  
Standing Still or Moving Up?
On a similar note, I use a MacBook Pro and stream Youtube, Spotify, internet radio etc into a PS Audio Nuwave dac.   Is it possible that the Bluesound  Node 2 connected to the PS Audio Nuwave outperform the MacBook Pro for sound quality connected ...

If you have not heard of or listened to Khruangbin. Get ready for a treat. Youtube is your source. 
What is an excellent power cable?
xenon, don’t know what you will end up with, but to this day I have probably 10 power cords laying around that I occasionally put back in my system as I change it, to hear the difference they make. A few, I am glad I still have, others I’m not. Th... 
What is an excellent power cable?
I have not posted much in the forums in quite a few years, but the Triode Wire Labs power cord I have (the Eight+))sounds very good on my integrated.  Also on a different note, although the Pangea power cord I have always ends up discarded, discon... 
Joule Electra preamp and Aragon 4004 mkII
The speaker terminals on vintage gear causes a pain since I have banana terminations on my cables and one of them is just barely long enough to reach my right speaker. Removing the termination would make it too short.  My cables are from Great Bri... 
Joule Electra preamp and Aragon 4004 mkII
Thanks Mitch2 , Ralph and Signaturesound for digging deeper into my issue. I've since been thinking about a tubed integrated on the cheap to go with the Kilipsch, maybe vintage.   I can no longer afford to spend like I once did at Audiogon for new...

Integrated Owners: I Need an Excellent Power Cord
I stuck with the inexpensive iron lung jellyfish for use on my Yamaha AS 2000.  I have had the iron lung in my collection of power cords for probably 5 years and after trying all my pc's on the integrated it worked out.  I have other power cords l... 
Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound?
Funny acastos! I have tried most of the power cords I own on the Yamaha integrated. Thought the inexpensive Pangea sounded good. In the end, the sound of my speakers became veiled, lacked transparency and a sense of air in the music. I am shocked ... 
Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound?
I replaced the Pangea power cord that I praised earlier in this thread connected to my Yamaha integrated and connected another budget cord that I’ve owned for years, the iron lung jellyfish (a hospital grade cord). This cord made a huge difference...
