| Black Cat Cable's/Coppertone wires are amazing good! What a coincidence as I was just looking at their site yesterday.I'm going to add a second subwoofer and hook them up directly from the amp rather than from the preamp as they are now.I'm using Clearday now which I really like, but since Paul is o... | |
| Blue Jeans Cable Sound Good??? @drdkey thanks for posting about the article on Audiobacon.The makers of the Iconoclast readily agree that measurements can get you so far but admit that the various types of copper DO sound different from each other.They don't know why either,the... | |

| Is it common for tubes to outweigh the cost of the amp or preamp? @samiamnot I'm glad you're happy with your new tubes!Check back from time to time on the ugly tubes if you're curious to try something different sometime without investing $$$.Enjoy! | |
| Blue Jeans Cable Sound Good??? It's possible whatever component that's driving the cable is struggling with the long length.Just another aspect to consider....I use 2.5 meter BJ ics for my sub with no ill effects. | |

| PayPal Frustration/Issue Heads-Up It's a weird glitch.Doesn't matter how many cards or accounts are listed on the PP account.You pay the seller then PP immediately refunds the payment back.We tried having the seller email a request for payment as a way around it but that failed to... |
