A New Superstar Power Cord
Could Be Interesting Reading :-)I'm interested in more information as the PC breaks in and is used on different gear. 
advice on dedicated line
Although the electrician will say you don't need it, I went with 10 gauge wire.Digital equipment should be on it's own dedicated circuit.The amp should be on it's own separate dedicated circuit.I'd go with a third dedicated circuit for the front e... 
Do cables settle in?
Some times yes and some times no.I've had it work both ways depending upon the cable. 
Definitive Technology Incline or something else ?
I own the Audioengine 5+ speakers and I'm very impressed with them. I also use the Audioengine S8 powered subwoofer. These speakers kick some serious butt without the subwoofer. IMO the Audioengine products are worth looking into. 
Vendor war stories . . . good ones that is . . .
Very cool :-)! 
More turntable set up problems
I'm glad you finally got the mystery solved :-) 
Need advice on rich sounding cables
This thread has become very interesting reading for me. I've come across the names and brands of cable companies I've never heard of before. Has made for some interesting research. 
Need advice on rich sounding cables
I'd also look into the Magnum Opus speaker cable, and I third the recommendation by Richards to go for the Kaplan Cables GS MK2!

JPS Aluminata v Stage III Concepts Magnus Prime
The Aluminata retail for over $3000 1/M but the come up used on Audiogon occasionally. 
Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
Jafant,Thanks for the information, I appreciate it. 
Amp suggestions
My friend has an XA30.5 listed here on Audiogon at a very reasonable price. I've heard the amp and it's sweet and in excellent condition. I think it would be a good way to go unless you want to spend additional money in which case I'd follow Czbbe... 
Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
I read the above posts with much interest.If any of you use any of the Concept III interconnects please send me an email, as I don't want to hijack this post.ThanksÂ… 
Plinius sa102. or jeff rowland model 6
I would have to third the vote for the Plimius amp.I prefer the tonal qualities of Plinius over the Rowland line (which is also a very good amp). It's just my personal taste.I've owned several Plinius amps and have settled with the Plinius SA Refe...
