Audio Connection/Johnny Rutan
@audioconnection ,It's too bad Ikea stopped making their old CD storage unit. It had a drawer that tilted out. I have a back room full of CD's and it looks pretty cool.You'll see it when I get the Sub 3's. If I can get some energy, I'll post a pic... 
Audioquest Firebird Zero
I wish AQ would make an easier to understand nomenclature.Zero?- What does it refer to?At least the power cables are differentiated by High Power and Source, but I don't understand why they just don't say Upper Frequency and Low Frequency for thei... 
Node 2i use with external DAC
Gungy and Yggy are definite upgrades.An Ayre Codex would be my choice on a budgetB 
Audioquest or Kimber kable.
@OP, I would steer clear of Transparent. Way overpriced for what you get.Plus, a horrible resale depreciation.B 
Atma-sphere Updates
@ferrox,Great Post!Everytime I have issues with my system, the problem is usually from another component, and not Atmasphere.Bob 
Do both cables have to be the same length?
Same length.Plus, it helps with resale.B 
Audioquest or Kimber kable.
@OP, you are looking at older models of AQ. Though I can't tell what your budget is, I would recommend looking at more recent models.A set of Rocket 88's used aren't very expensive and would, IMHO, offer better resolution.FWIW, I use GO-4's.Bob

Vandersteen 2c vs Thiel CS2

Audioquest Firebird Zero
@4425 .I would suggest you listen to these new cables. I, too, felt cables couldn't make a great difference, but an audition of the William Tell's definitely changed my mind.B 
Vandersteen 2c vs Thiel CS2
If you do, I would be interested in your thoughts between the 3 manufacturers. PM me.Bob 
Simple question, or is it...
After clicking on that link, I feel my previous post to be even more relevant.B 
2 amplifiers connected to 1 set of speakers
Well, there is biamping.Either Vertical or Horizontal, but you would be sending a signal from each amplifier to a different set of speaker terminations-for speakers wired for such.B 
Simple question, or is it...
@OP, I would wait for Almarg or Atmasphere to respond.B 
Vandersteen power cable upgrad
Zzzzz, again.B
