High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
Should you ever decide that you want to drop some bigger dollars you might consider the Von Schweihery dB 99 speakers if you can find them on the used market. I have a pair of beautiful Von Schweihery dB 99 speakers with Super Tweeters (the bass s... 
Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room?
Pc123v,This is just a guess, however, I don't think 35 WPC will make the 1.7's sing like they are capable of. You can always try it to see how it sounds as long as you don't clip the amp. You might give the manufacturer a call and ask them their o... 
looking at upgrading my tonearm from a triplanar
Tom, I look forward to reading responses to your question from audiophiles far more knowledgeable than myself. I would think the Schröder Reference tonearm might be mentioned, however I do not own one. I'm thinking when one achieves the high level...

I agree that the URR power cord really does add to and allows the music to shine regardless what component you put it on. It seems to produce a better sound stage, more dynamics and a greater sense of naturalness.As many have stated in this forum ...

Calvinj,Is the power cord you are speaking of on your dac something new, or is it the CT-1URR?Sorry but I'm confused.

Wow! I had no idea HFC came out with a new power cord, I should have guessed that. I'm glad to hear it's working well in your system. What do these bad boys go for? I don't see them on the HFC website. 
Is a high priced Line Conditioner needed
In my opinion, one has to try and experiment with power conditioners to determine which is best suited for their system, their tastes and which components to use conditioning on.With that said I agree with the comment Nonoise made on 09-21-13: reg...

Calvinj, You must have been very busy to take several days off from listening to your system. You will have to let us know how many more hours your speakers will need to fully break in; when you know.Until then enjoy the music... 
HiDiamond P4 for power cond. RSA Dmitri?
I believe the P4 would be a good selection and work well but that's not to say that other power cords might not sound better. I have not heard the power conditioner in question. I have heard and own a P4.

I added a CT-1 power cord to my main system and I must admit that I did hear an improvement. If one is familiar with what HFC can do for your system regarding a more natural truer to live performance sound, that's what I experienced.
