Speaker Cables - Revelation, Elrod, Violin or FIM?
I haven't heard David's new speaker cables, but I'm sure they are very good. I do own Revelation cables, both ICs and biwire speaker cables and I'm not even interested in auditioning David's cables at this point - that's how happy I am with the Re... 
Power Conditioner to replace my Monster 3600
I also replaced my Monster conditioner with BPT(Balanced Power). Mine is a 3.5+ Signature. It was a huge improvement over what I had - it really cleans up the sound and lowers the noise floor tremendously, at least in my system. 
VD Revelation vs Stereovox and soundstage
I have had both VD Revelations and Stereovox IC's in my system. The Stereovox was good, but the Revelations were better. I never did hear the Stereovox speaker cables. I got a Revelation Signature IC for my source (APL modded Denon 3910 player) an... 
Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier?
This is a VAC amp thread, not Home Theater/multichannel. That's what I mean. 
Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier?
Maril555: WRONG THREAD!!Henryhk: It is listed under the VAC Phi line. In fact, its the first piece of gear in that category. 
How to get 2 Channel and Home theater in one packa
Eandylee: I agree with your comments about matching speakers. I was fortunate in that my rears used to be my fronts, until I replaced them with much better speakers from the same company.I have had no incompatibilities with my amps at all (Sunfire...

Anyone? 
How to get 2 Channel and Home theater in one packa
Through a series of upgrades over time, I have arrived at both an excellent 2 channel system as well as multichannel. I have a high-quality preamp and amp for 2 channel and a seperate processor and multichannel amp for 5 channel/movies. The multic... 
Need subwoofer help.
Velodyne - lots of models to choose from - great quality and sound. 
Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?
I agree with Mikeam on the sound coming out of my Whispers. Its pretty special and I have no desire to upgrade internal wiring or anything else like that. I have also owned Focus and currently own Focus 20/20s which are operating as rears in my se...

Ayre V-5x vs. McCormack DNA 225
Zaikesman: I'm not shy about praising the amp because I've been extremely pleased with it and I wouldn't have even known about it but for this site. If I can turn someone on to his amps that might not have even considered them before, I think that... 
Ayre V-5x vs. McCormack DNA 225
I have a DNA-500 that I've had for about a year now, and I love it. The midrange tonality, called "delicate" above is anything but. If it still sounds that way after a while, I would suggest trying a different power cord. I'm using an Elrod Statem... 
Audience Au24 with high current SS amps....
I used AU-24s to drive Legacy Whispers from a McCormack DNA-500 without any problems. Lots of current, 900wpc into 4 ohms. My Whispers are pretty highly efficient (95 according to website) and never had any issues, regardless of volume.Doesn't sou...
