Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
Guys-In 2014, the Stage III line-up will change a little, w/ some new cords being added and older ones not avail anymore. Brian will be at CES w/ the newest offereings for those interested. 
Best cheap speaker cables............again
Happy New Year. Both the Audioquest & Straight Wire are excellent choices. 
Zen Crescendo or 5a...will they work in my room?
The Vandy is a great, well-rounded speaker. Should work nicely in your room. 
have a sub question
Forget svs & hsu. REL makes the best subs in the business. 
Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems?
I concur w/ Rofnow. 
Which REL sub, R528 or B2
B2 all of the way. That was a wonderful REL series. 
subwoofer suggestions
Only consider the REL subwoofer series. Simply, the best on the market. 
Tube preamp for SS amp
Chad-both the ARC & C-J gear are sonic matches for your Bryston power amp. 
Wishing everyone a "Merry Christmas"
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! 
Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110?
Once again, Conrad Johnson just released a solid-state power amp that will rival the last one (Premier SS350). 
Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
Right On! Keith-I love the Stage III pc as well. 
To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen
OP-if you have the space, I would consider the 3A. Very fine speaker that plays out a large soundstage. The current 2 series is nice also, bargain priced as well.I would like to hear the 5/5A series someday for a comparison to the 3/3A series. 
Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K
Jbltmp -consider Octave from Germany. This integrated is a sonic match for Joseph Audio speakers. 
Happy Christmas
Merry Christmas! audiophiles. 
Price Increases
Used gear indeed! No doubt that most manufactures 'stick it' to us customers. Simply stated, they are covering the year's revenue loss.
