Anything better than 10 guage Romex?
What I do now is to wire directly to the panel and then terminate at the amp end with Furutech male plugs and plug into the amps.This eleiminates several receptacles and the amp only sees one break in the line and that is at the amp.I am wondering... 
Grand Veena and ? speaker cable
I settled for my old Cardas Golden Hex 5c, they are each one mtr in length and were not biwired.I separated one end of each and made them bi wires.They sound as good as anything I tried.A pair of Harmonic tech Pro nines were nice also. 
Do better ingredients make a better Ground Wire?
Bud since I did have limited success with my DIY GC, before I go and get the REF version, I would like to know if you have any comments about using your devices on speakers(Ref 3A GrandVeena)that already have bybee devices inside.Would there be an... 
Rogers LS3/5a question
I had a pair also back in 1980, the Swisstone models with the 15 ohm inputs.A NAD 3020 and a Dynaco Stereo 70 made them sound quite nice.But I was a musician at the time,and they just didn't have enough bass for me, and no sub at that time ever re... 
Tannoy Speakers
I had Tannoy Ardens from 2008 to 2009.They were my first concentric ,high efficiency speakers.I have past experience mostly with electrostats from stacked Quad 57, single paie of 63, Acoustat 3,and Martin Logan Sequel and two pair of CLS11z.The Ta... 
Acoustat 4 Monitor: still actual?
I have a friend who has three and four panel Acoustats with the servo amps.The four panels are an even easier load for the amps, and give you more bottom end impact.Try lifting them off the floor a bit,but standard set up is still better than most... 
Running Springs Audio
After reading your review, I see we share a few component choices- ML Depth and Audio Valve Eklipse pre amp.This makes my search to audition a Dimitri a must. 
Name the tube amp in the Lexus commercial
I agree Hugh Laurie is a gifted musician,he also played a buffoon English king in the Blackadder series,House is yet another character.The House character (or Hugh?) is fighting the long held belief that musicians don't care about good hifi.But so... 
Anyone tried Quantum Resonant Technology?
I can't speak for the Quantums, but in my experience,improving on the power source has been more beneficial than attempts to improve my sound with speaker and interconnect upgrades.And cheaper. 
4 Ohm Load
One of my first rigs was a 125 watt Pioneer receiver and a pair of JBL L65 Jubals.I wonder if I would be impressed by this matchup today?I realize a lot of people gravitate to systems like this.My source was a Dual 1219 and a Grado cartridge.I nev... 
Running Springs Audio
I have been in the Shunyata camp for awhile, but I am not married to it.I am looking for an upgrade to the V-Ray or something better.The RS gear sounds promising, but not available for a local audition.A local dealer carries the Walker power condi... 
Using different gauge wire for biwiring
I went thru a rather exhausting speaker cable search going from name brand cabling to DIY and all manner of mix and matching in guage and composition.For example I used a combo of solid core copper and solid silver of different guages, one for the... 
Name the tube amp in the Lexus commercial
I think it's about time that we start to see audiophile type gear in ads, and not XXse lifestyle type systems.I always found it silly when I would lust over the interiors of the mansions of the rich and famous and see how they wimped out on the au... 
Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you?
I have been an audiophile for over 30 years and after owning tube amps from Conrad Johnson, to Michaelson Austin TV10,VTL,Grant Lumley,AtmaSphere OTL and SET from Cary and a host of good solid state amps, I now enjoy the Red Dragon Leviathan mono ... 
Dream system - but no aftermarket power cords
You do make sense.Buy the best power cords you can, and only do it once.Then swap all the amps and gear you want after that.
