BPT 3.5 Power cable need help
I use a Kaplan power cord with my BPT 1. I like his cords quite a bit -- just moved from the HE to a GS. 
Blue Circle TLC Power Conditioner
I have both experiences. Have a bc 6000 with X1e. I think the blue circle preamp and amp sound better plugged into the bc6000, but my lower power tube amps lose a lot of their energy with a filtering conditioner. They sound better with a balanced ... 
Dynamic Design Challenger AE15 AC cables
I was feeling good about the vortex prime I just got until I read this (actually I still like it). It is much better than the older dd lotus I have but I know they have had several generations since. I will give the dd a try again. Thanks for post...

Here comes the Dude. What to expect?
Hi. I put the dude on three aurios pro max and they work quite nicely i think. as mentioned, do not listen too critically for a week or two because it takes a while to settle in == sounds veiled at first and dynamics are not what they will be. hop...

Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
Hi. sorry -- was out of town. whole thing was less than a month i think -- and it would have been shorter but they had some weather issues during the winter that slowed things down a bit. but i was not in any hurry really so i did not think much o... 
Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
had the dude preamp for a couple of months now. wonderful imaging and soundstage. plenty of detail. i am using sylvania vt-231 and they sound very nice to me -- they add a bit of sweetness compared to the more neutral tubes that it came with. got ...
