Audio Magic Liquid Air
Hello Coverto - I have used the new Audio Magic Sorcerer Liquid Air interconnects and speaker cables and found them to amazingly good cables. They have the detail of previous generation all silver cables, but with a lot of harmonics and none of th... 
Power Condition Rogue Stereo 90?
Hello Arch - the Hydra 6 is not current limiting whatsoever, unlike most other types of power conditioners ( of which the "plug your amp into the wall" crowd is correct), so relax and enjoy the performance of your Stereo 90 WITH the Hydra 6. 
Would this be an upgrade?
Other than the words "Moster Cable" on the sleeve, the 2.4's are actually a pretty good pair of speaker cables and should be fine with your Tylers. I would take the money you were going to spend on speaker cables and apply it to better interconnec... 
What speakers work well with your BAT VK-55?
Reference 3A Grand Veenas, Merlin MMX, and Gemme Audio Katanas are all exceptional speakers that I have heard with the BAT VK55 amplifier. 
Recommended components on Stereophile Magazine.
Hi Nasa - this should be an interesting thread. Let me start first with - I think all of the reviewers try and do a good, unbiased job in reviewing equipment. Problem is - with the exception of Fremer and Dudley, the rest of the reviewers are very... 
XLR for Marsh Electronics
Hi J135- It's been a few years since I played around with Marsh gear, but my recollection was that Cardas Neutral Reference XLR was a pretty good choice for the pre to power interface. You ought to be able to find a pair used that will fit your bu... 
Best power cord for Running Springs Audio -Haley
Hello Erasto - Custom Power Cord has been out of business for several years now, and never did have a website when they were in operation. For your RSA Haley, I would try and get hold of a Synergistic Research AC MasterCoupler (Active) as a very g... 
speaker cables for Usher BE10
Hi HifiNut - I would try some JPS Labs cables ( Superconductor 3, +, or Q) with these speakers. There IS a reason that Usher shows with JPS Labs cables at all of the audio shows - it is a great match! 
Upgrading Apple TV power cable
Hello Sugith - I think you have things backwards. The PS Audio Punch power cords that I have seen all have the unpolarized ends - two round connectors, so I have to assume that the Apple TV has a polarized C7 input ( one round and one with a flat ... 
Interconnects for Rotel.
Hi Shaun - conventional wisdom is to use van den Hul interconnects( 1st Ultimate or D102 III) with Rotel electronics. For whatever reason, these cables seem to have good synergy with this equipment. Good Luck! 
Compatitble tube preamp w/Krell KMA-160's
Hello Handymann - I will share a suggestion with you for a preamp in this system - the VAC Renaissance should be perfect for what you need. It has XLR ins and outs, can have a great phono stage, has a remote, is fast, has great harmonics in the mi... 
TUBE AMP REPAIR
You might also want to consider Bob Backert at RHB Sound Desizn - he is unbelievably wonderful with anything that has tubes and has worked on, upgraded, and modified all of the Rogue products. You can get more info about him on his website at http... 
what a speaker and power cable needs my system
Hello Popov - I would highly recommend two different cable sets for this system - either Audience AU24 or Purist Audio Design Aqueous Anniversary. Both would be very musical in this system and should provide years of long term satisfaction. I woul... 
Good, non-jewelery connector for TeslaPlex outlet?
Hi Lewis - first off let me say that I have tried Furutech, PS Audio, Oyaide, Wattgate, and numerous other audio-grade duplexes and the S/R TeslaPlex, while not being a particularly "jewel-like" device, out-performed them all. It was not even a cl... 
Has anyone had any experience with PowerCell?
Shellie - thanks for your post. I have since had a chance to try a PowerCell 10 SE in my system and can say that without a doubt it is the best improvement in my system that I have made in years! I ordered one within a single day of the home audit...
