Canare 4S11
It is never mentioned, but I have really come to appreciate my interconnects made with Canare L-4E6S wire, which is also a star quad configuration.  They are ridiculously inexpensive, I purchased mine from Redco ages ago. Other interconnects I ha... 
Audioquest Vodka vs Wireworld Starlight 8 (Not Platinum) Ethernet
@kr4  Always nice to see you posting.  Don't let our argumentative friends faze you, just accept they are always right.  
Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed
I have only used RCA interconnects and can clearly hear differences when changing brands and levels within brands. But a search of this forum will find that according to Atmasphere (Ralph), if your components are fully balanced as are the compone... 
Let’s share funny-stupid things we’ve done
OK, I think you will get a kick out of this. A few months ago I purchased a Schiit Lokius EQ to just add a boost to the treble when I am watching TV as I like running the cable box audio through my preamp/stereo. Simple enough to do, even in a se... 
Acoustic Zen - blown tweeter - out of business? replacement?
If I was you I would call Millersound speaker repair and inquire with Bill regarding the possibility of repairing your tweeter?  They are absolutely top notch.  
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
I would question the combination of the Adcom GFA-545 and Thiels.  From experience I found that Adcom to be a somewhat forward sounding amp.  And although I have never heard Thiels, I have often read that proper system matching is necessary to pre... 
Maggie LRS amping question
@avicci  I see this is your first post on your first day on Audiogon, welcome! Regardless of the one post above, your LRS have received nothing but universal praise for the sound they deliver, regardless of place withing the Magnepan line.  It is... 
Magico S3 mkII
@rman9 Sounds like you have a great dealer.  I'm guessing you will be able to listen to the S3s with your amp at the shop before your buy since the dealer obviously sells them.    
Magico S3 mkII
@rman9  I bought the A3's in February. So if they release a replacement by the end of the year.. my dealer will still be able to swap out the A3 for the S3 replacement. Does Magico have a trade-up program where you are given a certain percenta... 
What's a good amount of time to have my preamp unplugged before I swap out tubes?
Please correct me if my statement below is incorrect. It should be mentioned that this thread's advice is for changing tubes in PREAMPS ONLY, YOU MUST WAIT A FAR LONGER TIME WHEN CHANGING TUBES IN AMPLIFIERS OR RISK ELECTROCUTION.

everything sounded great until the upgrade
@decooney  The reviewer you quote describes the A3.2 as I remember it.  I thought the A3.2 was on the leaner side of the spectrum, not warmer. No matter how it sounds now, take decooney's good advice and give it a chance to warm up thoroughly be... 
everything sounded great until the upgrade
Also, you don't mention how long ago you added the newer integrated.  If not that long ago why not give it a month to see if your ears acclimate to the new sound.  You might be surprised and change your mind once you are used to the new presentati... 
everything sounded great until the upgrade
@grislybutter In short: I loved the sound of my modest system, until I upgraded my amp. Now it sounds pretty horrible. You often read about members with the same experience.  People were just planning on upgrading one piece of equipment but in... 
Higher amperage fuse for sound quality
Rambling speculation (only) on my part. I would think that the amp designer voices an amplifier or preamplifier to sound a certain way he/she considers ideal.  If he/she wanted the amp/pre to sound as it does with a boutique fuse or different amp...
