Conrad Johnson Tube Amp For CJ Premier 17ls
Joe,I am sure if you have upgraded the Premier 17 to e.g. a CT-5 the result would be much better, esp with the recapped P140. I had the CA200 for a while and it is indeed very good. Maybe you can use the freed up funds to upgrade the power cord an... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Anyone know when the DSD upgrade will be available? If it's still a while off then I will order the SE upgrade, not a trivial advantage to keep their customers loyal considering most companies just sell you another model. Audiofun: did you do the ... 
Shootout: AMR CD-77 vs. AR CD7 vs. Wadia 581se
Chris, I beg to differ as size of the company does not matter. If it did, we all would have Sony or Philips gear throughout. As you know, a great design is not based on economics but the ability to understand how to get closer to the soul of music... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Thanks Ddraudt, have upgraded the SC to CT1E and ordered one CT1U to hear the diff with the CT1E IC. With this additional investment, I wonder if it would have been better spent on a better source or DAC.Looking to hear the comments on the CT1UR. 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Would appreciate to hear your comments re upgrade from CT1E to CT1U interconnects. I have a full loom of HFC and am very pleased, having skimped a bit on the SC, I am in the midst of upgrading from the CT1 speaker cables (just listed) to the CT1E ... 
Right angle IEC power cable
Audience does provide right angle power plug upgrades ($75 for both ends), I ordered some for one of my systems as the space is tight behind the rack. They fits very snug as well as a side effect. 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
Anyone have heard the improved HD digital ref RCA in their system? IME, the HF CT1E digital is a much better fit (better imaging, more airy) than the mid 2013 model of the HD digital ref, it beats also my Tara Labs ISM Onboard Digital 0.8 XLR in t... 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
ditto re the gain, the HFC CT1E in fact has upped the volume by nearly a full db in my system. Compared to the HD8 it has definitely more air and resolution, no contras. 
DIY AC cable...which bulk cable?
Lacee,thanks for your comments. I mentioned $250 as I want not to exclude good alternatives. Which Furutech model would you recommend that has the best value in the upper end? As a rule of thumb I never buy the most expensive ones, though IME the ... 
DIY AC cable...which bulk cable?
Closely related to this topics and some have touched the subject: which are the best AC plugs under $250? I would like also to know about the best wall socket under $250 but there is a long outstanding thread (a bit idling at the moment) on that one.

Bo1972: look up obnoxious in your dictionary. Your record sounds broken, the same track all over again. 
Nordost Valhalla 2 announced
How many of you have upgraded from to Valhalla 2? What other cables have you heard in your system before making the jump? 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Petieboy12003, I agree that there are some who do not contribute at all on some threads (but not on this one) and personally, I hate those who are quick to insert their one liner/word "YMMV" without the slightest contribution. Indeed, we need a re... 
HiDiamond Power cords...
Ozzy, off topic re HD power cords but have you tried plugged everything into that P10? 
PI Audio Uberbuss
John,Did you try a newer socket like the SR Tesla SE or Furutech GTX-D or R in the Ueberbuss?Roscoeiii,is the Ueberbuss much better than the Magik?TIA
