Do good power cords have to be stiff?
I've gone mostly to DIY power cords which are quite unwieldy but, back in the day, I found the offerings from Wolff and 6Sons Audio to be both very good and quite flexible.  6Sons Audio Golden Eagle is the best power cord I've heard.  Neither come... 
Biamp question
I have a pair of custom speakers that are very similar in design to the Legacy Focus using Eton drivers on top and Peerless 1259 12" woofers.  The Peerless are a bit less efficient so bi-amping is pretty much a necessity.  I've used the internal c... 
Little Dot D300----anyone heard these monoblock amps
Thanks russ69 but I'm looking for something on the cheap.  My main amp currently is the Red Dragon S500 so I'm definitely on the Class D bandwagon.  It would be nice though to find a decent (cheap) amp for another system or to power the woofers in... 
Class D recommendations for woofers in biamp set-up---size matters
Hello Douglas,     Thanks for the recommendation.  I've been a follower of yours for quite some time having purchased both the bridged Pathos Classic MK III and the Cambridge 840W.  Both were quite good.  The Legacy looks very interesting but the ... 
Class D recommendations for woofers in biamp set-up---size matters
Class D (amps) to power the woofers only--thanks 
Need decent mini-tuner in silver better than Cyrus FM X
Haven't made any attempt to integrate the stereo with the computer.  Yep, must be old school like that and so yes, fuzztone, I am stuck in the 20th century.  What of it? 
Power cord choice?
You could keep the Polestar and simply upgrade the plugs.  I checked another post from you and it looks like those power cords use the Oyaide 029.  Going to the 046 or 004 should increase detail and improve the soundstaging.  I think the 004 is th... 
Purchase from Canada
I have bought from Canada on several occasions from interconnects to a Consonance Droplet 5.0 cdp at about 60 lbs to a pair of Xindak monoblocks at about 50 lbs each.  I was hit with customs on the interconnects only and that was through UPS.  Whe... 
warmest speaker cables you've heard?
I've had the Kimber and wouldn't call it warm.  I played around with various wire doing the DIY thing briefly and came across Polar Wire Products (www.polarwire.com).  I was told a pricey power cord used their copper wire in a doubled up configura... 
How does the Equi=Core MK II version compare to the original 1200 or 1800
thanks lowrider57---I'm mostly considering the new Equi=Core 1000 based on physical size.  Still, I like to purchase used when possible to save $$$   Thanks for the info 
What used amp should I pair with my newly acquired Monitor Audio GR60's?
I had a pair of Emotiva XPA 1 gen II a while back very briefly.  I wanted the power for a pair of newly acquired BG Corp Radio 520 loudspeakers as I only had low powered tube amps at the time.  I could get moderate volume from a 45 watt push/pull ... 
Is D for Dry? Class D...
I posted back at the beginning of February asking about higher powered options to replace my SET amp (JAS Array 2.1), inquiring about Class D in particular.  There were some interesting options, most prohibitively expensive.  I eventually settled ... 
Which aes/ebu cable? CCA Magnum Opus, Audio Sensibility Signature, or RAL Prophecy Ref?
auxinput---I certainly believe you about the Oyaide Focus xlr. Strange how different a creature the Iego 8095 AC plug is then.  I actually have used that plug to tame a peakiness in the upper midrange which is where I usually hear brightness.  I'v... 
Which aes/ebu cable? CCA Magnum Opus, Audio Sensibility Signature, or RAL Prophecy Ref?
wturkey----unfortunately, 2 are on the used market so no sampling and I recently had Mel at CCA work on a Master Class interconnect and then offer a good deal on a digital cable I inquired about.  He clearly states that all sales are final  and th...
