Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning
I have the Puritan 156 and also run a sine wave rebalancer in front of it.  I run everything off the Puritan except my Coda #16 amp.  Awesome product for sure.  I had a hum in my system that the Puritan attenuated by75% and in combination with the...

Which power cords have high resolutions and separation??
The Grover Huffman Pharoah power cable fits your bill and, new, it is in your price range. I just get mine and have been very impressed with the soundstage and instrument separation that it brought to my highly resolving system. I have it plugged ... 
GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
The pairing of the SPL Elector preamp and the PassLabs X250.5 is quite good.  The sound is spacious, clear, dimensional with tube-like tone colors.  I suspect that this combo will work well for u.  
Why would a moderator remove a cable review?
Censorship was overcome and I met lancelock and listened to his awesome two channel stereo set up.  
Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier?
I recently heard @lancelock's system.  Really nice sonics driven by a low power tube LTA amp and Backert preamp.  Since none of this equipment is a live performance, despite much inflated hyperbole about equipment getting u there, listen and exper...

@yyzsantabarbara I have a good size basement room. Probably 20 feet wide and close to 25 feet long.  The Spatial X5s are about 97 db sensitive.  The sound I am getting fills the room.  For sure there is no sense of needing more power.  Not in the ... 
Spatial X5 speakers
The Coda Continuum #16 amp sounds sublime driving the Spatial X5s.

@yyzsantabarbara I have not listened with my ear close to the tweeter.  However, paired with a modded PassLabs X250.5, it sounds serene.  This combo is at our lakehouse so I can't run downstairs and listen.  The SPL Ekector is an excellent soundin... 
GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
@yyzsantabarbara I think my ears are similar to yours. I like the sound of Class A across the frequency spectrum. Frankly, the modded LSA Voyager is more extended and crystal clear on the top end than my modded Pass Labs X150.5 and X250.5. However...

@lancelock are u really going to sell your Coda 16?  Damn.  Hit me up if u are looking for a buyer. @gladmo I actually have the SPL Elector preamp in one of my four two channel systems.  Never heard the amp but man the preamp is one helluva clean...
