Review: KCI Silkworm Plus Interconnect
I agree, very nice review! 
Dedicated line help
The above is all good information. I agree run at least “3” dedicated AC lines. Eventually I’m sure you will want three.

Best speaker cable for Maggies???
I second the Alpha Core Goertz MI2. I used that cable on my 1.6's. Hard to beat for the price. I have a used pair that I'd sell if interested. 
My system acts weird
I think the problem might be due to the power (AC) being supplied to your "old condo building" and all the other items from neighbors that are running and polluting the AC. I've never had this happen to me personally because I live in a newer deve...

wyred4sound amps
Sometimes the world amazes me…I believe I was the first one in this thread that made mention and said I found the Pass Lab AX Series to be superior to the W4S monoblocks but out of my price range.BTW; the Channel Island D-200 is no slouch either c...
