SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT
Good evening.  Thought I'd share that I have Hijiri HCS or both ICs and speaker cables (not called HCS but it's the equivalent quality).  I found the IC had a more profound impact than the speaker cable between my dad and my SET tube receiver from... 
Wolf Von Langa SON (TAS 2022 PofY) and Gestalt Audio - my experience & review
weebeesdad & hchilcoat, Before I responded I measured my speaker positions and I apologize but they are just short of 3.5 ft. so I should have checked that before commenting originally. I have played with speaker position a lot and 6 inches t...

HChilcoat, I haven't heard the Circle Labs but I know it reviews very well and Colin is a big fan.  I trust his ears. I'll be interested on your thoughts once you get the gear home.  My VTL delivers 70 watts in triode mode but its not the pure S... 
Wolf Von Langa SON (TAS 2022 PofY) and Gestalt Audio - my experience & review

Sorry, I didn't see your comment about staying under $1000. Listen to the new Rega Apollo 
NAD,VMPS,what cd player to buy?
Ayre CDX7e. I have auditioned a large number of reputable cd players (Naim, Acram, Musical Fidelity, NAD, Rega, etc, etc) and this one does it all in my opinion. Its extremely musical yet highly detailed with excellent depth and width of sound stage. 
What subwoofer to choose for 2 ch and HT combined
Thanks very much for the responses. Will definitely check out the UFW and aerial. Have already heard good things about the Vandersteen although I understand they have a "music" model and a "HT" model. Anyone with experience in both, i'd appreciate...
