High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I don't own any type of High Fidelity products however all that matters is if you prefer the sound of one cable over another. The rest is moot as far as I'm concern. 
Balanced cables/Pass gear
I agree with Zd542, it is perfectly alright to use different interconnects regardless if they are single ended or balanced.Remember that each pair of interconnects will most likely give you a slightly different sound therefore you have to try them... 
Plinus vs. Burmester amps
I've owned the Plinius SA Reference amp for the past 4 years and it's the best amp I have ever owned. Regardless of running it in class A or A/B I've never had any heat build up issues to complain about running my Maggy's 3.7's but of course the a...

ARC CD 3 mk II upgrade with DAC 8
I would think it would be a good idea to try the DAC 8 in your system. Do an A/B comparison. That way you can judge for yourself what you actually hear.

HiDiamond cables burn-in
Barto,Tuff question to answer because I think all systems are so independent of each other, and as listeners we have different likes and dislikes. With that said I think the HiDiamond products are open and transparent enough to mate well in a warm... 
HiDiamond cables burn-in
Barto,I own the HiDiamond 3-XLR, Diamond 8 speaker cables, power cords P-3 and P-4. It could take up to 500 hours to reach their full potential.If your equipment is solid state you might want to run an AM or FM station through the system 24/7 or i...

High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I find all this interesting reading and I understand all the views being expressed here. I agree it's very beneficial to read about how and why one product out performes another regardless if it's the same manufacturer, a step up the line or a com... 
A New Superstar Power Cord
I agree with Budburma, the Triode Wire Labs 7 Plus power cord is very good and costs about $500. In my opinion it competes with several power cords that cost 4 X the dollar amount, and it's made in the USA. I like the way it's built and the look/f... 
Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room?
