Wolf Audio Server/Streamer Owners
Let  me add to the accolades.  I am a proud owner ( 2 months) of a Wolf Luna R with Flux capacitor and 4TB drive.  I use the touchscreen as I want to limit the amount of garbage in the air in my listening room.  I got the Luna R to start archiving... 
Conrad Johnson GAT - What else is there?
Take a look at the Backert Labs Rythm 1.3 preamp.  IT has everything you are looking for - tubes, full function remote, audio bias, XLR in and out if needed, home theater pass-thru designed to work when the pre is OFF.  IT is an amazing product an... 
Lousy IEC Connections
rpw - now I get it.  You DO know that the specification for IEC's on components ONLY specifies the dimensions and location of the actual connectors NOT the cup that they fit into.  This is NOT a manufacturing issue- it is an issue with the lack of... 
Running Springs Audio Harley
EBM - actually they never went "belly up".  The parent company whose primary business was capacitors was sold and RSA was a part of the deal.  The new owners made a half-hearted attempt at producing RSA power conditioners but ultimately their lack... 
Lousy IEC Connections
Fuzz- I debated whether or not to reply to you, but decided that I should.  There are some companies (Audience and Synergistic Research) that do use twist lock connectors on their power conditioners.  Trying to get hundreds of manufacturers to agr... 
XLR (Balanced) interconnect cable question
While I really like the Wireworld Equinox and Eclipse, as far as I know, NEITHER is shielded.  IN fact, I can't recall any Wireworld interconnect that was shielded.  Doesn't mean that they don't perform well, just that you are under an incorrect i... 
Symposium still in business?
Peter is one of the most conscientious guys in all of audio AND he makes great products.  I have known him for 20+ years- he is a straight shooter that give his all to his customers. 
Audioquest Water XLR Interconnects
HI Pony - it's true that Quadlink had a LOT of warm fuzzy bass, however, it was NOT pitch accurate and was out of proportion to the rest of the frequency range as the upper end was also a bit rolled off.  Now the AQ dos system is a good thing, BUT... 
Best Speaker wire with Rogue Audio amp and preamp for $2K or less?
I would suggest Analysis Plus Silver Oval 2 speaker cables for that application.  Happy Listening! 
Essential Sound Products cables and Michael Griffin
Charles, I have known Michael for 15 years and he is a gentleman and a genuinely good guy.  This has to be a case of him forgetting to send them back to you.  PLEASE go back to him ( with an open mind and no attitude) and ask about them.  I am cer... 
845 Tubes, what's a good source in US?
I know that the Cable Company has KR 845 tubes available. 
Cables For Simaudio gear
WillieWonka - I would caution you to be a little more responsible about repeating (mis)information like you did about Cardas.  It is actually impossible for speaker cables to cause an amplifier to go into oscillation, no matter what the brand.  Th... 
Purist interconnect cables
Proteus was discontinued at LEAST 10 years ago.  There were no issues with it as far as I know, but it was replaced in the line, just like the Colosseus was.  Upon occasion, when a significant enough change comes along, Jim at PAD will retire cert... 
Shunyata interconnect cables experience
The V2 cables are a revelation. The added silver to the copper hollow tube design elevated the performance unbelievably.  Try a pair of Delta V2 and Alpha V2 from The Cable Company and hear for yourself what they do. 
An audio rack that really does make a difference.
Take a good long look at the Symposium Acoustic Foundation Rack ( or Foundation Ultra if you do vinyl).  Exceptional quality of materials and design and a very good looking rack (IMO) to boot!
