Cryo DH Labs Revelation?
Thank you, Autosports. 
Anyone know the fuse value of the Proceed AVP2?
Unfortunately, its not on the manual itself. Thanks. 
Need help What monoblock power amps for bass?
Agreed with Stehno's assessment fo the Nuforce Ref 9SE V2. It kicked the crap out of all previous amps I've heard or auditioned at home. Definitely worth a try. Unbelievable sound from top to bottom with absolute grace, controll and musicality 
Usher 718BE or Dynaudio S1.4
Regarding Classe30's experience with the Usher in the 12x12 room, that's the worst scenario for a listening room what any speaker. The Usher being more sensitive just exacerbate the bass even more.I have a pair driven by Nuforce and have no proble... 
Cryo DH Labs Revelation?
Tweak1,Please describe some of the improvements made with the cryo process to cables. I am thinking about it but curious to know if if will over-relax an already smooth cable. Would cryo give a more sparkling life? I think not but would like to he... 
Projector power cable & conditioner?
I put on my Sony projector a PS Audio Prelude cable I had laying around. The picture quality jumped out at me: more vibrant and solid imaging, deep and beautiful color and more "pop" and vibrancy. Definitely recommended! Also, this was plugging th... 
SET friendly speakers w/ slam?

Isolation and Harsh Highs?
If your budget allows, try the Finite Element Ceraball at around $175/set on Agon. This works well my Nuforce amp besting many other alternatives.Good luck,Kenobi 
Nuforce 9 SEV2 mated to Transporter - what pre?
Hi Desalvo55,I've tried the following and the Finite Element remained the best for this application--Black Diamond racing cones, Vibrapods and cones, Spikes of variuos brand and material, cup-ball-cup variety, wood blocks, sorbathane, cork, etc...... 
Nuforce 9 SEV2 mated to Transporter - what pre?
Hello,Have you experimented with isolation/dampening/decoupling devices in place of the stock feet? I liked my MCH3SE-C7 (multi-channel, HT equivalent to the 9V2SE) when I first got it. However, over time it grew fatiguing especially with the brig... 
Soundstage wide and deep but not at all tall. . .
Have you tried raising your speaker height a bit. Alternatively, very slightly tilt the speakers (w/ damping on front supporting spikes or where the speakers meet the stands) so as to have them point higher? Kenobi 
an amp without "electronic" sound
I second the Nuforce Ref 9V2SE, or the MCH3SE if you're into HT. Superb! 
Which multichannel amp to buy
NuForce MCH3 or MCH3SE. These are the multi-channel equivalent to their award-winning Ref 9 and Ref 9SE V2 models. www.nuforce.com 
Amp Shootout: S-30, Ref 9 V2 SE, Raven, DAD-M100
Hi Ait,Thanks for the follow-up. Yes, I read the review and it definitely sounded impressive to say the least. Man, 1/2" aircraft aluminum chasis? This thing was probably taylor-made for the troops in Iraq.Regards, 
Best multichannel amp for music?
Look into the NuForce MCH 3SEC7. http://www.nuforce.com/Product-MCH.htm. Best multi-channel I've ever encountered. In fact, this unit replaced my Bel Canto Ref 1K for stereo and double-duty for HT as well. This unit is based on the same innards as...
