| Hegel H390 power cable Running an Isotek Aquarius for all gear except amps and subs. Highly recommended. The change in sound quality was like a component upgrade. In my system/to my ears, replacing the stock Isotek Premier power cord with a Venom HC and subsequently an ... | |

| One Cord To Rule Them All koestner - can't say with certainty what will benefit your PSA regenerator. Can say, I switched out the stock Istotek Premier on an Aquarius power conditioner for a Shunyata Venom HC and heard a significant improvement in sound. I tried a Pangea... | |
| Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? Hegel H200 and First Watt F7. Both warmer than tube amps I've owned. As has been noted, the F7 is not an integrated. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman - Enjoyed the Killer Joe track. What wonderful chords and arrangement. To my ears the latter almost "classical" in terms of exchange of parts among the various members. Will have to look further into that Jazztet work. Thanks for the intro... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I’ve been enjoying TW’s Civilization as well as Believe It and Million Dollar Legs.Keegiam, if you haven’t already heard it, you might enjoy a "tribute" to Tony called, "Blues for Tony". It’s a live performance by Alan Pasqua, Allan Holdsworth, Ji... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry. Should have warned you, keegiam. That’s why they call me, "thread killer". Radio silence after I responded to your Ralph Towner post. | |
| Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation? Periodically changing out gear (4 amps; 2 different floor standers) works for me too, though I tend to go a few months in between. Keeps the sound fresh with, as you say, each "new" setup having its own virtues. | |
| Tube Rolling Woes Hello Glen - I own the first gen Freya so am speaking from that experience. Hope it is relevant.-Have you confirmed a proper impedance match between pre and amp? -My next thought is be patient. 75 hours might be enough for the tubes but maybe not ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hear, Hear!! Ralph Towner!!A favorite...Solstice with Jan Garbarek (sax & flute); Eberhard Weber (bass); Jon Christensen (drums)Discovered at the local public library years ago when you could actually borrow LPs. Was an ear opening and min... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 ghosthouse if you don’t mind could you tell me what power conditioner and cables you use?Happy to do so...Just be aware, I didn’t start out with this stuff. The "journey" is essential for appreciating what the gear (in this case, cabling... | |
| Audio Companies with Integrity?? Merrill Wettasinghe of Merrill Audiohttps://www.merrillaudio.netDespite having elevated his product offerings way past the Taranis power amp I bought from him back in 20(15?), he responds promptly to my emails and continues to provide support for ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'd like to add support for "cables matter" and shockingly (couldn't resist the pun) that includes power cords. This is from a former "wire skeptic" who was especially skeptical about power cord claims. Skeptical until I heard the difference in ... |
