Illuminations D-60 RCA/RCA Survey
Lak, I checked my cable last night and couldn't find a number on either end. As I said, when I got the cable it had already been placed on a cooker and directional stickers were on each end so I knew how to hook them up. No complaints here. 
Best vibration tweaks
That's right, I forgot about your funky closet Dekay! I'm lucky, my interconnects don't interfere with anything, but my power cords and speaker cables are a complete mess. I've been thinking about a similar solution like yours. When I get my room ... 
Illuminations D-60 RCA/RCA Survey
Hi Lak. Gosh I didn't know that the D60 has a printed number on one of it's connectors. I got my D60 from Agon member Disco. He put it on the cable cooker before sending it to me and labeled each connector with arrows so I never even paid any atte... 
What DAC for Theta Carmen
I'm not sure if this will help you Dbw1, but I'm using a Theta Pearl transport with the Bel Canto DAC1.1 with very good results. The overall sound is huge, detailed and fast without being harsh. I like the combo a lot.

Over the past 3 months I've been trying out a bunch-o-iso-tweaks. Currently I have a Neuance shelf under my transport, Mapleshade Surefoot Cones under my integrated, Black Diamond Racing #4 Cones under my subwoofer amp and MapleShade HeavyHat weig...

Whoops! I think I mean the NAD 208 amp. 
Subwoofer Help...
Sedond, I have heard about the VMP subs, but don't know anything about them. Are they a passive sub you matched to the Marchand crossover? Do you think a relatively inexpensive amp like the NAD 218 [250wpc] would do a decent job running a pair of ... 
SonusFaber GP? Other recomendations?
Also, I should mention. My comparison only involves the two mini monitors I own. You're comparing floor standers, and that may be a whole different ballgame. Good luck! 
SonusFaber GP? Other recomendations?
Nezwek, don't kill yourself trying to find ProAcs if it's that difficult. :•) It just happens that my personal preference is ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures over the Sonus Faber Concertinos. You might not feel the same way. But, maybe I can help a li... 
"Pace", it's importance for enjoyment?
Prat? When I first started reading this thread, I thought "prat" was one of those sound effect balloon captions they used in MAD Magazine. 
Subwoofer Help...
Bis188, as an owner of ProAc Tablette 50 Sigs I'm very envious of your subwoofer arrangement. I'm running my Tab 50s with an older NHT SW3P sub. The two RELs must be pretty damn sweet. Incidentally, how are they placed in your listening room?Slart... 
What's wrong with my Cal Delta/Sigma?
I know what you mean Viggen. Since finding this Audiogon, I've spent more money on this hobby than I ever thought possible. And that's not only on components, but all the associated tweaks too. Luckily, I've also been able to buy some great used s... 
What's wrong with my Cal Delta/Sigma?
Viggen, if you're enjoying the cable that much, you're probably playing your system louder than usual. And I'm sure the neighbors appreciate that too. :•) Have fun and I'm glad everything is working out. 
Mapleshade Ultrathin vs Doublehelix?
I own the Clearview Double Helix digital cable along with Cardas Lightning L-15 and Kimber Illuminations D60.In comparison to the other two cables, the Double Helix doesn't seem to exagerate any freqs. They have good extension at both ends, but al... 
SonusFaber GP? Other recomendations?
Hi Nezwek. While I've never owned floor standing speakers like the ones you're considering, I do have great experience comparing Sonus Faber and ProAc mini monitors. I own both Sonus Faber Concertinos and ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures.Like Kjg's po...
