| Stupid question on Power Cords? The only way to know is to try upgraded cords and decide if the difference you hear is worth the money. In my experience aftermarket cords can make a significant difference.One way to experiment - as I did - is to contact The Cable Company and ren... | |
| Looking for a bookshelf at 2k or less..... I'll second the VonSchweikert VR-1s. They are truly amazing speakers once they're broken in - about 300 hours. Mine image even better than my VS VR4JRs at 4x the price. | |

| Hail to Mcintosh Tjnif makes an interesting point. I have owned a variety of speakers and electronics and none have pushed my buttons until I heard the newer Mac gear. On thinking on it I realized my first exposure was to Mac and other tube sound in the 60s and wa... | |
| Tube DAC to take edge off Rega Planet 2000 I've had the Rega Planet, Planet 2000 and now the Jupiter 2000 which I run with a Mac MC275 amp and C2200 preamp. The sound is not at all edgy, nor should your Planet 2000 with the MC2275. I'd check into the cables as a match. The JPS Superconduct... | |
