Review of Fritz in Member Reviews
@roxy thanks. I have no idea what members have seen. How does one figure that out? Also, traffic comes in from beyond the membership, so this redundancy may help someone.  
Good Tube Pre Amp under 2K
I like my $1300 quicksilver linestage. Just got some new NOS tubes to try.  
Calling all owneres of the Orchid DAC
Quick question for you and others about Orchid.I have inputs for my Orchid -- CD transport and streamer.When I start up my system, the Orchid never plays the streamer right away. I have to play a cd for a moment first, then go back to the input fo... 
What's the best integrated amp in the $1500-$2000 range?
I had nearly exact question several months ago: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/seriously-considering-tube-preamp-opinions?page=2&sort_order=descPerhaps some answers in that thread will help. I was very tempted by the Vincent 237mkII bu... 
O.K., downloads, streaming and more....but I still like many of my CD and SACD disks
+1 on @georgehifi suggestion. Separate transport and DAC.I have a lot of CD's and l like putting one on and settling in to it. I have a streamer, too, but sometimes I switch from one thing to another too much and the CD experience is just, well, m...

Review: Fritz Heiler’s Carbon 7 SE Mk 2 bookshelf speakers
Thanks @gregm and @jtcf -- Fritz is easy to talk to and not pushy at all. He'd likely let you know if anything was on special, etc. 
Power cable for REL sub -- modestly priced
@tvad Thanks. I don't expect to hear a difference. Just want to make sure it will work with the sub, mechanically. (That's probably a super dumb question, but if I clear it out of the way, I'm good to go.)

@millercarbon Do you think it would make a difference to a sub to go from the mfr supplied cord which is 10 gauge to a 14 gauge cord? If not, then this is going to be one inexpensive shopping experience (for once). 
Power cable for REL sub -- modestly priced
@tvad Thanks. The cord that comes with the REL is a Volex 1625 cord: Wire Gauge = 10, rated current =10A. However, the Newark cord is rated 14 gauge and rate for 15A.Not sure if a thinner cord would make a difference for the REL.@jl35 "Used 2 foot...

@b_limo Thank you! I'm very interested in how they contrast with the Carreras.

@lalitk No reason I didn't mention. Stock power cord is fine, but it's too short. Thanks for the suggestions.@tvad Longer means, say, 12 feet? I need some room to move it around in a space with limited electrical outlets. Even 10 feet would be ok.
