| No ground wire??? Absolutely have an electrician run a new, dedicated line, or maybe two, just for audio. It usually cost less than $100, and is one of the best bang for the buck upgrades out there. Use at least 12 gauge wire and 20A breakers, maybe 10 gauge if you... | |

| cable reviews? 12-09-14: SchubertI agree Austinbob, I don't know if AP is the best, but I never heard them sound bad.I have. Well maybe "bad" is a bit harsh, but they certainly weren't my cup of tea. The soundstage was too forward for my tastes, in my system, us... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena vs DeVore Nines: RoomSize Cfernandez86, I'm curious as to how you made out with your decision. I am also in the market for some speakers in the Cheers,John | |
| cable reviews? You have to listen for yourself. You can either try using The Cable Company to audition different cables, buy and try used cables, keeping what you like and selling the rest, or trying cable companies that offer money back guarantees.Unfortunately... | |
| Tube Preamp vs Solid State I also prefer a tube preamp, and I am a big fan of Kevin Hayes work (VAC). I would struggle to go back to solid state, but if I did, I think that a Klyne 7 series preamp would be first on my list.PM Audiogon member Pops. He is a big fan of Thiel s... | |

| VAC Sigma 160i MM phono stage question No doubt there is a lot of OCD in this hobby, which the industry feeds off of. Whether the upgrade is worth it or not will vary depending on who you talk to. Those that can afford the 160iSE is will say that it is worth every penny. While those wh... | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? 12-04-14: Dave_72 So, with that in mind, it sounds like I would prefer the silver, but I can't really say 100 percent.That is why performing your own listening tests is so critical. No one else can really tell you which flavor you would prefer. Ma... | |
| Cardas clear reflection interconnect 3rd times a charm? | |
| VAC Sigma 160i MM phono stage question Yes, neither of those cartridges would work without a SUT in the VAC. That ZYX 4D is a great cartridge, I owned one a while back.I'm not surprised at all to hear that the on-board phono in the VAC beat the Chinook. As I said earlier, it is a very ... |
