High Current VS Dedicated Source Cables : Audioquest
Hmm, The best info would come from the manufacturer- and I know AQ answers the phone.Other than that, I would think the incorrect cable should be fine.Bob 
Kimber 12tc incompatibility with ayre my-r twenty
I would look to Audioquest cables. You don't mention the speakers, but AQ work well with my MX-R and Vandy speakers.Bob 
Rega Apollo
Thanks for posting that mr_m.I am thinking of selling my Apollo and wanted to know of a suitable upgrade, in case I ever want to play a CD again.B 
Recommendation for higher power tube amp
@atmasphere  and OP,Wouldn't using a pair of Zero Autoformers help with the low impedance issue?Bob 
I want a streamer

Europe / USA
Why not just get a step up/down transformer?Not to be snide, but if you can afford to live in both regions, why not just get amps/pre that are made for the current available? I doubt you would be carrying them across the country.B 
Cost Effective Sub Woofer
HSU makes a wide variety of subs.Perhaps not the 'best', but they are quite good and do what they are supposed to do, and the price is right.Bob 
Vandersteen 2ce sig ii vs Devore 0/93
I own the non-CT Treo's and use MA-1's with MP-3 preamp.I have no issue with power. The Treo's are not a hard to drive speaker.And, after owning a pair of 3a sigs before the Treo's, I can say the latter are definitely a major step up.Bob 
Anyone Here Have Atma-Sphere Amps?
I own the MA-1's and MP-3, both are great pieces of equipment.Also, Ralph Karsten is one of the best manufacturers in the business. There is another discussion regarding Atmasphere and Ralph here on Audiogon.As far as tubes go, I haven't had any i... 
Rega Apollo
I never had problems with my Apollo reading discs, but I haven't used it since going to streaming media.You can also output to a separate DAC on the Apollo, should you wish.B 
Ayre Codex vs. Lampizator Amber II
I heard the Codex at Audioconnection and ended up getting two used ones (Sorry, Johnny). Like mr_m, one of my better purchases.I'd be curious as to how the Lampizator stacks up to the Codex- And, the Brooklyn DAC, too.I also own a Schiit Gungnir, ... 
Laufer Teknik Memory Player and Mini
Thanks for posting guys.I know there are other Memory Player owners on Agon and hope they will chime in with recommendations.@thaluza .The only other advice I can offer is to try calling Sam and have him explain the best practices. He seems to be ... 
HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???
One issue I am a bit perplexed with is sellers not taking new users seriously.I have seen a few posts from Agon members not wanting to sell to those with little or no feedback.With Audiogon's policies, I can't see how a seller would be taking a ri... 
Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten
@tswisla ,Funny you should say that.That was why I bought his products- As well as their working well with Vandersteen's.Bob 
BAT VK-33 vs Atmasphere MP-3
I haven't heard the BAT, but own the Atma MP-3.I love my preamp and hope to get a MP-1 someday.And, if you get the MP-3 serviced/upgraded, you get a 3 year warranty automatically. Plus, Ralph Karsten is one of the nicest and technically astute peo...
