What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
CH-Precision M1,1 stereo amplifier, which was driving Rockport Avior speakers. 
Powered Speaker Cables
I use the Gold Series power cables from Cullen Cable for my two powered subwoofers. They are very reasonably priced and beautifully handmade.   The power flow goes from the wall socket to a Shunyata Hydra-2 power conditioner via a Shunyata Venom 1... 
Upgrading Speaker Cables: Wireworld Silver Eclipse or Transparent Audio Ultra?
@ mikemeeks. First, thank you.  I don’t have a dealer closer than 300+ miles fro me, so trying a pair isn’t any easy option — particularly given mine wouldn’t be a case that if I like them I’d buy them. Your observations of the Ultras are similar ... 
Upgrading Speaker Cables: Wireworld Silver Eclipse or Transparent Audio Ultra?
@mikemeeks. Great equipment.  Is there any way you could characterize an element or two of the Ultras vs. the Supers that really stood out?@several posters.  Would you mind taking your off-topic dialogue to a new posting you start?  You might find... 
Upgrading Speaker Cables: Wireworld Silver Eclipse or Transparent Audio Ultra?
Mike Meeks — thank you for your input.  May I ask what speakers and amp are the Ultras connected to? 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Glupson,My audio system Is in a large room, with the equipment rack ideally situated at the far end of a 22 foot wall, whereas the power amp is 8 feet in along the further perpendicular wall.  I understand that, unlike speaker cables, interconnect... 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Sometimes an “upgraded” interconnect cable can clearly make a sonic improvement.  For years, I had been using 35 feet long Blue Jeans/Belden interconnects between my preamp and the power amp that is located between my main speakers.   Deciding it ... 
Kudos to Dave at Audio Doctor!
After first discovering this morning that the price of my liquid handwashing soap has gone up 100% in the month since my last purchase, I have now just read this wonderful accolade for Dave Lalin.  I have to say that it is a real pleasure to hear ... 
Review: EXACTPOWER EP15A Tweak
For several years, the display on my EP-15A has been flashing between 120 volts RMS and "under voltage".  Nonetheless, it remains putting out 117 volts and is unfailingly quiet.  Am I just lucky?  
HDMI absence
jriggy, you bring up an interesting point, namely, is the data flow superior among the various means it can travel from A to B -- HDMI, I2S, coaxial, AES/EBU, or TOSLink? 
Amp and Processor
For the past 15 years, I have been using a Theta Casablanca preamp/processor that I've continually upgraded (now as an IV version) for both watching movies and listening to music.  I, and my audiophile friends, find its performance in my AV system... 
Krell iBias Amp Dependability: An Informal Survey
Dear 643,Given that I am considering the purchase of a Krell Trio 300 XD amplifier, I am most interested in hearing how your problem was resolved.Thank you!Best regards,Jonathan 
How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!
Recently, I faced the same dilemma.  I have a very good system. However, it is in my nature to always seek "better", even though by now I have taken mine beyond what most people on this forum have proposed as modest to major potential improvements... 
Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening.
I am currently using a Theta Casablanca IV preamp/processor and a Lumin T2 along with Krell Class A power amps and Revel Ultima Studios.  Cabling is Wireworld and Kimber for interconnects and Transparent Audio for speakers.  Power conditioning is ... 
Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank
I believe price has to be considered in terms of value received for money spent. In that context, I recommend the Venom series of Shunyata’s cables and cords.  While not inexpensive, they aren’t “bank breakers”, either.  I have yet to be less than...
