| Need Cable recommendation for VAC/Avalon Combo. Very nice system. I have seen MIT cables used with large Avalon speakers (the latest version of the Eidolon Diamonds) and large Pass tube amplifiers and they worked extremely well together. I believe the cables were MIT Magnum M3 or M2. | |

"My experience has been that when someone states it seems as though there has been a sonic improvementthere hasn't been any change, just what they had hoped to hear."Isn't that what happens when someone adds any new piece of equipment, whether it ... | |
