Need Ideas on speaker cables
Plus one for shorter speaker cables due to lower coloration on sound and lower price, if you can pull it off logistically. Also plus one for Anticables Level 4.2 cables for the reasons given in post above. Some other considerations: AudiQuest Ro... 
Power supply poll for Chord Qutest
Update - I purchased a Teddy Pardo dual 5V supply that runs both my Qutest and Bluesound Node N130 (with converter kit).  Sounds great. Especially big improvement for the Node. kn

@curiousjim ” Kinda a letdown after the huge difference with the Gaia’s.” That has been my experience in general with isolation products and Isoacoustics in particular.  So far speakers and turntables benefit most obviously.  I tried some Oreas u...

@curiousjim update - ASR deleted the thread I started and appended the discussion onto an older ASR thread on Isoacoustics products initiated in December.  While the only message I got from ASR was that my thread was no longer available, I later f...

@mapman that’s OK, Mark might not be for everyone. I just thought the way he and his associate did the ABX test with control was unusually well executed. That and I like my humor very dry. Plus his results hint that phenomena like human experience... 
The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype
@mihorn on my phone speakers the iTunes version of Van Halen sounds considerably better, fwiw. kn  
HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ?
Another recent experience that maybe just took my system sound from pretty good to considerably better was adding Anticables Level 7.3 RCA interconnects between my DAC and amp.  I have used a lot of different RCA cables in this application and thi...

Great recordings with great harmonies from 1960s
Thanks for all the tips.  I was flying solo Friday night, ended up at Easy Street after a couple of beers and walked out with used Righteous Brothers and Kingston Trio LPs and new pressings of the Temptations first album and Pet Sounds. Went home ...

@spenav thanks.  The idea for the room and the setup has been evolving for a long time, starting before I even had a physical space to build it.  Frankly, even though 5.1 Blu-ray soundtracks sounded great pretty much from day one with multichannel...
