Is 60 amp electrical service enough for high end tube system
I believe most new homes (last 15 years) come standard with a 200-amp service. In your music room you probably only need one or two dedicated 20 amp circuits. One for the amp and some people use the second for the front end and/or a third dedicate... 
Mapleshade Clearview Ultrathin Interconnects
I have used them both. The double Helix seems to give deeper bass as I recall. I like Maple and think they are also a good value, however the power cords were not to my liking because they made the high end on my system to hissey! I, like many oth... 
Do you think of the Kimber3033 cableis it worth it
Take a look (Listen) to Silver Audio Silver Symphony 48 and Bear Labs Silver Thunder. 
Harmonic Technology Magic digital cable?
I currently own and use a Kimber Select 2020 and an Illuminations D-60. They are both good, I think the Kimber Select might be a bit more detailed and a little more bass on my system. I recently purchased a Purist Proteus digital cable which I can... 
Is there anyone who came back from tubes to SS?
I use both a solid state and tube preamp. I prefer the sound of tubes. 
Why do people think I'm nuts involving audio?
Some people spend dollars on their interests and others are very tight and have no vices they will spend money on. I feel fortunate to be able to spend some extra money on a few different hobbies and am proud of it! I also learned a long time ago ... 
Feedback on CARY products....
I have always been happy with my Cary 2A3 monoblocks. A good company that stands behind their products. I am not saying that other products are not better, I just like the way some Cary amps sound. 
Seeking opinion for a super duper power cord....
I would also consider the BMI Whale Elite, it could be the best sounding of the group and the least expensive. 
Better cable substitue's for my system, for silver ic cables
The Bear Lab Silver Lightning interconnects should also be considered. I suggest you read the discussion that can be found on this site under cables.

KIMBER SELECT 3038
Consider the Silver Audio Symphony 48’s or the Bear Labs Silver Thunder cable. 
Anyone own or auditioned speakers by Legacy?
You might want to read the following on Audiogon, (I think it was titled Has anyone heard Legacy speakers); http://audiogo5.iserver.net/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&991177032&readIt should be loaded with information. 
Silver Audio Symphony 48 speaker cables?
I use several brands of speaker cable. One of my favorites is the Silver Symphony 48. They are very detailed with good bass extension, very nice mids and highs. I honestly don’t know how they will sound with your set up. If I were you I would call... 
Equi=Tech balanced power on Meridian system
Any Equi=Tech (or similar product) would improve your sound regardless of your set up. I would think it's a 50/50 decision as to what to do first. I guess it depends what preamp you have and what you are thinking about purchasing. If you care to e...
