Interconnects to use
Morrow is silver plated solid core copper and I have no idea how pure the copper is and Speltz wire looks like common magnet wire. As far as speaker cables go the Morrow SP3 or SP4 is well above the magnet wire. I have not tried the Morrow ic's bu... 
JL Audio f112 or f113 sub?
Dal0wol, just to let you know that I too have talked with JL Audio about the F112 and F113. I wanted two subs as well and the first thing the guy asked me was in regards to room size and seating position in the room and if the speakers were on the... 
Review: Ming Da MC-2A3 Tube preamp
Yama96, even as stock this pre is a steal at the price. If you get one from Pacific Valve all you will need to do is start tube rolling. Call pacific valve and ask them about the new X8 model. Mine has a slight hum in the left channel but you can ... 
Ac cords or power conditioning first?
Harmonic transients are going to pass through a power strip. Usually will not stop ground loop like a transformer can. If you can afford power regulation or regeneration with a good isolation transformer then go that route but I think for the mone... 
Ac cords or power conditioning first?
Gmahler2u, dedicated line is one power source from your electrical panel directly to one outlet. Nothing else shares this line in the house. Look at the isolation transformers too. Hospital grade Tripp-Lite transformers. I have two dedicated lines... 
LessLoss DFPC Signature
So what or who made those 6 individuals all of the sudden join Agon and post on this one thread? They all just stumbled on to it and decided to join at the same time? That is a huge red flag to me. 
LessLoss DFPC Signature
Note, when you see 6 new posters that join in the same month and all rave and plug for the same company you can bet that long time members will not take them seriously. But hey, you never know in these crazy economic times,cough cough. You go boy! 
Help with sub upgrade
Docrobbi, I am not sure if you are aware of the feet adjustments but you may want to play with those a little and then calibrate again. After you get some real good time on them, if they are new, you will need to do another calibration after break... 
Tyler Decade D4M
Fairly neutral and leaning toward open and quick with very good leading edges. Does not roll off so a warmish full sounding amp can be used. Female vocals are a big strength. This is what I hear with the D3. D4 should have a little less bass but I... 
Help with sub upgrade
If you have to put a sub in a cabinet I would think the JL would be one of the best. The JL cabinet is built extremely well. I also found that the F113 takes a while to break in. That driver they use needs serious exercise. They sound excellent ri... 
Which of the Audiogon advertised interconnects?
There is a lot more than just the amp than can cause the brittle highs. You could try a good isolation transformer down the road. Maybe the hospital grade Tripp Lite. Even if you have dedicated lines you can still have a lot of emi/rfi irritating ... 
Which of the Audiogon advertised interconnects?
I have had the GA-0's, Signal cable silver, Reality cable, Vintage Audio Labs, Blue Jean, Anti-Cables, just to name a few. After listening to the Morrow SP3 and SP4 speaker cables I think the MA3 or MA4 could be worth an audition. Out of the ic's ... 
Bang for Buck Bi-wiried cables...
Ok if it is price only go for the magnet wire. If your friends speakers are up against a back wall then just use the red candy apple color cable. 
Bang for Buck Bi-wiried cables...
After having the Morrow Audio SP3's in my system for a couple of weeks I would say they are a great sounding speaker cable and not just for the price. They are very accurate IMHO.

Why not try the Valab digital cable?
