What is a $500- $700 power cord for subwoofer
Hi Brother-In-Arms, I have the PS Premier at the heart of my system, that makes me even more relaxed to recommend VooDoo. Great match (in my system).Karel 
What is a $500- $700 power cord for subwoofer
Hi, I'd recommend to have a chat with Bruce at VooDoo Cable. They don't quote prices on their webpage anymore, but from the top of my head (and, of course, depending on the length you require) the "Mojo" (10 AWG) or "Mirage" (8 AWG) might be what ... 
first tube rolling: expert advice needed - take 2
Hi everyone. Thanks for your input! Unfortunately, I can't put some of your advice to the test as I sold the amp meanwhile (see my posting of 04.04 above). Still, very grateful for any further thoughts you may have (I now own a fully tubed integra... 
Best affordable SACD player that does superb CD's
That would rule out the Arcam multi-format, but also the Marantz SA 15 S1. Unless you'd go for a used machine. A quick check will tell you, one recently changed hands for USD 1k on Audiogon. And this side of the ocean, only today I saw a machine -... 
Best affordable SACD player that does superb CD's
Recommendations based on observations I made at the dealer's, I do not own any of these machines myself.Would Marantz SA 15 S1 (2 ch SACD + CD) fit your budget? Otherwise at around half the price of the SA 15: Marantz SA 7001 (also 2 ch SACD + CD)...

first tube rolling: expert advice needed - take 2
I guess the question on the Unico was actually addressed to me. I have been swapping cables, experimenting with isolation bases and moving the unit to different places in the apartment but never succeeded to get rid of the noise. Hooking up differ...

Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
btw, the GoldLine and the newer Coherence GoldLine come in acrylic bars instead of aluminium as seen on Fadel's website. Wouldn't you wish the amp's and speakers' binding posts were on the front of the gear if you had a few runs of those to brag w... 
Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
Doesn't seem someone already mentioned Fadel Art GoldLine Speaker Connecting System.In this design, the cables properly speaking, "transmission tubes" Fadel calls them, run through a solid bar on feet. http://www.fadelart.com/productpages/speakerc... 
Silliest audiophile equipment of all time?
I'm currently pitching the idea to a few mags.I am also interested in more traditional components than tweaks. I'd rather shed some light on dubious claims than just pure snake oil which is obviously absurd.Just being curious, may we know for what... 
I want an inexpensive chinese tube power or integr
given the speaker specs Larry quotes, the entry Antique Sound Labs would not be an option then 
I want an inexpensive chinese tube power or integr
Don't know if the power output will suit your speakers' requirement but if so, I'd try Antique Sound Labs:For about USD 1k (new) you should be able to get their smallest integrated MG SI 15 DT where you can even play with switchable triode and pen... 
Stand out phono stages
Pedrillo, I assume you intended to refer to the Pass XOno, not the old Aleph Ono? In which case I'm a bit puzzled to find it in the budget list. I don't know what the XOno retails for in the US, in Germany you'd need to fork out EUR 5.5 or thereab...
