| Wyetech Jade and TRL Dude Thanks for the responses and the offer for audition (i am in Wash DC area). I ordered the TRL, although with no firm conviction that one is better than the other (i considered the used jade that is listed but it was gone by the time i inquiried). ... | |

| Silverline Sonatina II - MODs? If you like the silverline sound, there is a pair of boleros on audiogon for 4K. I expect that they exceed anything that you could do to mod your speakers. I have a pair of boleros that I like very much. I have not heard the sonatinas, but have he... | |
| Anti-Cabls Ic's alternatives? Reality cables do a nice job for not much money. There is a 20 day trial period for standard lengths that makes this pretty low risk. I sold mine when i moved to ridge street, which are better but much more. good luck | |

| Black Sand Cable Power Cords How Good? Also FWIW, there are several reviews, mostly positive, over at audio circle. I bought a violet zII at auction here to try out, but sold it recently as it was not as good in my system as other cords I tried (have a used audience and several kaplan ... | |
| Proac D38 owners Hi. I have heard the D38's (I was considering buying them) at a dealers being used with audio note amps with much less power than the amp you are considering. There were no issues even with big symphony pieces. | |
| What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates? I have heard the audio note meishu at a dealers and it is very nice if you have efficient speakers. It is not cheap .
