A first
if you want to make the speakers sound even better try vibration isolation it's like you got a whole brand new system with more expensive gear, the Townshend podiums are the best speaker isolation on the market, they're not cheap but boy do they m... 
Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism
the isoacoustic Gaia are very good but the Townshend podiums are a whole different level better and that's from people that have tried both but the Townshend podiums are three times the cost and all I can tell you is when I put them under my speak... 
Best power cord for a preamp?
buy anything that is OCC single Crystal copper or silver that is the best wire for audio and it has been proven for over 50 years to be so, far superior to anything ofc on the market.    
Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!!
the best wire to use for digital or any audio is OCC single Crystal copper or silver or mix of both.  
Best XLRs under $500 a pair

Audioquest Storm Series power cables
Ronboco, if you're going to get OCC single crystal wire get the rectangular wire made by neotech because nordost uses rectangular ofc.  
Audioquest Storm Series power cables
the reason audioquest is so good is because they use OCC single Crystal as their wire but they overcharge like crazy, there's other companies like Harmonic technology and acoustic Zen that use the same OCC single crystal wire but at a more reasona... 
How accurate are cable descriptions for your system?
I hate to say it but those cables for $100 and $79 are going to be junk, the best cables for audio and this has been proven for 50 years now is OCC single crystal wire and it's not cheap but if you hear it compared to all the other ofc stuff on th... 
Question about speaker angle
or to make it real easy you can go on the cardas website and they have a program there where you just put in the width of your room and it'll give you the exact measurement from the front wall and the sidewall to put your speakers and I tried it a... 
Almost equality
The benchmark dac isn't that good, if you really want to elevate your digital side check out the Wyred4Sound 10th anniversary dac, one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with a $5,000 Japanese cartridge on it and he said that the... 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
Millercarbon, I have a question for you, once I put the speaker on the podiums do I undo the top adjustment knobs all the way open until they click or do I just use them to adjust the podium so my speaker is level? nothing is bottoming out even wh... 
Simaudio versus Accuphase?
and if you want something that's even going to be better than the accuphase maybe you should have purchased the 850 p and the 870a they will eat the accu phase for breakfast lunch and dinner, but that's probably out of your price range LOL.  
Simaudio versus Accuphase?
I don't think Sim audio is the Hyundai and accuphase is the Ferrari, obviously you haven't heard the top end evolution stuff it's just as good or better than accu-phase and it's considered world class.  
Older Moon W8 vs 860a
the W8 is much better than the 860 A. I talked to Sim about the p8 and they told me it was much better than the 740p so I have no doubt that the w8 is way better than the 860A, and I don't like the direction Sim is going, their prices are getting ...
