| I Have Decided To.... I used Audioquest Opal x3 with good results. Later, I went to TARA Labs Master Gen 2, which worked a bit better, with a larger soundstage, but just barely not as accurate, perhaps a bit more foreward. Next, I used Audioquest Lapisx3, which is even... | |

| Rega Planet vs Cal Audio Labs Icon MK II I love my planet. I have only heard the cl-15, which is also an excellent sounding cd. The planet needs to be left on, for some reason, it sounds a little flat unless it has been on about 12 hours. THe depth increases greatly after a good month of... | |
| Meadowlark Heron i's, vs Shearwater HR's I have owned neither, but heard the predecessor of both, the Heron, and the Shearwated, both in "standard" aspiration. I thought that the midrange of the Shearwater had an "organic" sound, which was nice, but perhaps a wee bit artificial...it's ju... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations Sorry Lindeman, But I can, and will wholeheartedly reccommend CJ preamps. I love my PV-11. | |

| Results of granite platforms for Silverl I havent tried sandstone, and have been using marble lately, first, on a nice hardwood floor with small felt pads and some large floorstanding speakers spiked to them. THis was pretty good. Now I use the same slabs of marble on carpet with Tiptoes... | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? I may be a wierdo, but I use clear plastic 4oz. "coctail" cups (think airplane beverage cart issue) with good results as cable suspenders. turn each cup upside-down, and cut a trough into the bottom of the cup. Make 8 to 10, and use it to keep the... | |

| Is Hales finished for Good? I for one am really sad. I owned rev 3 speakers, and I sold them to a friend about 7 months ago. I really liked them, and, while I still consider it a rumor, I am saddened by what I have heard, re: Hales' disappearance from the scene. I have a hig... | |
| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers Miked, you didnt say anything about stuff you already own. Do you have ANY equipment now? The way I did it was totally backwards of how most people do it, but UNLIKE most of the suggestions in this thread, I imagine you're like most people, in tha... | |
| Single bi-wire or double bi-wire ? I disagree with Leafs. I tried it both ways, and I prefer 2 separate runs of cable. I Compared a non-biwire setup, using Audioquest SA-40 full range, but connected to the high freq posts, and CV4 for the jumpers going to the bass posts, and a full... | |
| Add an IEC socket..any negative effects? I am having mine done by an expert. However, If I were to do th ecutting, I think a Dremel, or some similar hand held cutting tool that is really easy to handle, would be good. As in most of my do it yourself projects, it sounds cheap and easy in ... | |
| Add an IEC socket..any negative effects? IF the component has a 2 prong plug now, why would I want to connect a ground wire if I decide to add an IEC INPUT to the chassis? I'm no electician, but what I suspect would be ok is to connect the positive and negative to the IEC INPUT, dont con... |
