| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? Leeds - I wonder.... where exactly would you get a seperate ground reference for left and right channels in order to run a "truly balanced" XLR cable from a phono cartridge that has only 4 pins (left/right +/- )???? Stereo Phono cartridges are IN... | |
| HDMI cable for I2S Cooper - PS Audio includes a VERY good HDMI cable for I2S with either the Memory Player or the DSD ( I don't remember which), but they do not list it for sale. Since you have been in contact with PS Audio, I would contact them again, thank them ... | |
| Preferred AES/EBU 110 ohm digital 1.5 meter cables you recommend I will second the Acoustic Zen MC2=Zen AES/EBU cable for your application. It is the one used by a lot of reviewers and has been a steady performer in this arena for 10 years - high performance/high value! | |
| Low noise, neutral, high current power cord for wall to power distributor Inna- the PS Audio Premier is an AMPLIFIER, not a front end component, so getting an better, high current capable power cord is going to give you a high level of improvement in performance.

| Can somebody explain the XLO scale to me? I was at Capital myself 2 years ago - they people you saw were the distributors of XLO. I have NO idea and can find no information as to where the current XLO cables are produced and by whom. Anybody know? | |
| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps You might also want to consider Doshi amp/pre, another very good boutique, hand-made wonderful amplifier that will not break the bank, merely crack it! Good Luck! | |
| VPI phono cables. Is there better synergy? Bshappard - why not complete your loom with the Audience phono cables? They are very neutral, fast, and should work well with the rest of your signal cables. Just my 2 cents... | |
| best tube integrated under $5000 ? I would also give a listen to the Rogers 65 V-1 - very realistic sounding and built to last. msrp is $3995. Oh yeah - LIFETIME warranty is also a plus. Good Luck! | |
| Shunyata KING COBRA VX V1 `i` - thoughts on this power cord HI Gare - I would contact Grant at Shunyata about this one. I do NOT recall an i series King Cobra model and I would be a little concerned. Better off checking it out. Good Luck | |
| Y adapter beneficial for sub cable? HI Asa- it depends on the sub you p[lan on using. Personally, I would use a REL sub which is easy to integrate into the system and runs off the amplifier terminal. With a low level (RCA/XLR input) sub, if it is a stereo input sub, you are in gre... | |
