Power everything
I will concur w/ bombbay as above-I, too, use a Richard Gray Pro400 conditioner. These prodcuts are outstanding and do not "steal" current from your system. Azjake- did you find a conditioner?If so, which one did you buy? Keep me posted & Happ... 
Risky Pass purchase...?
No worries- Infection.Pass Labs is the best solid-state gear at the present.The XP-10 or XP-20 are very special indeed. Get ready to have your musical mind blown!Happy Listening! 
Silent Source
My pleasure Keith-I have had the pure listening pleasure of auditioning Stage III Concepts PC. This is the best PC in the market place.I have not demo'ed them w/ the Silent Source cables nor Transparent OPUS cables. This situation would be my drea... 
Silent Source
You will enjoy the Silent Source cabling- Keith.What other gear is in your system? Keep me posted as you decide to purchase any SS cable/cord(s). Happy Listening! 
Romulus CD player--
Thanks! for sharing- Tomic601-the ARC Ref5 SE may very well be the finest tubed pre-amp in the market place at this time. It is also good to learn that it mates well w/ Aesthetix. Anyone else like the Romulus spinner w/ ARC gear?Happy Listening! 
Sonus Faber Olympica III or Vienna Acoustics Lists
Good discussion- I have heard the SF Toy floorstanding speakers and they were very fine w/ Rogue Audio gear.In another system, I heard the VA speakers w/ Primare gear- very fine as well. Like Garebear, I would like to find a dealer/retailer that c... 
Conrad Johnson LP125sa and ET5
Very nice! Greginnh. I do not think that I have ever read about an audiophile using Nordost cabling w/ CJ gear?How do you like the synergy? Are you planning to change cabling brand(s) ? Keep me posted & Happy Listening! 
transparent cables
Yes, Poon-I can confirm that as one moves up the Transparent chain, you will be rewarded. Things go beyond all expectations w/ the OPUS cabling. It will cost you for sure, most important, you will never have any need to change out cabling!Keep me ... 
Wireworld Silver Starlight
Fuzzfriendly-I use the WW Silver Starlight 5.2 HDMI and it is nothing less than outstanding in my Sony XBR CRT / Pioneer Elite 59AVi set-up. This particular cable is only bettered by the WW Platinum at a substantial cost. Either way, you cannot lo... 
Conrad Johnson LP125sa and ET5
Greg-CJ gear is a very nice match for both Primaluna & B&W loudspeakers. Not sure about the mating w/ AP speakers?Most important of all, which brand(s) of cables/power cords are you planning to use? Keep me posted & Happy Listening! 
How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
Excellent review- Wisper.what cables/power cords are you using in your system. These components are over-looked as well, and most certainly make a difference in any system! Keep me posted & Happy Listening! 
Ayre with Wilson
Rshad0000-Transparent will be a very natural and sonic match for Ayre + Wilson speakers. Go for the Reference XL or OPUS cabling.Yes, it will cost you. Yes, will will never look back w/ regret. As always, buy used / demo and put the savings back i... 
Vandersteen 5A to Carbons??
Interesting discussion guys-anyone using Aesthetix gear w/ any variation of the current "carbon" upgrades ? 5A, Treo or Quattro CT models?If so, feel free to comment. There exists a very naturalsynergy between Aesthetix and Vandy. Keep me posted &... 
Magico S1 - Dynamics and Amplifier Suggestions
Excellent suggestions guys- Pass Labs would be an outstanding match for sure. I tend to agree w/ Cdrc. Give your speakers time to break-in. Then, re-eval as needed.Keep me posted & Happy Listening! 
Sunfire Signature... what is this?
Thanks! for sharing -Ricktpt.Agreed, even that 1st Sunfire power amp circa 1995/96 is still a killer. Has not been anything like it (now or since). Other owners feel free to chime in here...Keep me posted & Happy Listening.
