| What'sBest Deal Tube PreAmp New or Used? Very slim pickings for a decent tube pre amp at the $400. level.You might find a decent passive at that price.Hold out and save $600.and you can get yourself some pretty decent tube gear that will also hold the same resale value such as an Anthem ... | |
| Power Line Conditioners If you own your own home,an ideal setup would be to add 2 dedicated lines and plug 2 amps into each one.This will give dedicated power for your amps to perform optimally and sound their best.One can also add a surge protection device at your main ... | |
| Power Line Conditioners The PS Audio PP-300 outlets are used for source components and not amps.The four outlets will accomodate most audio systems and an add on extension box from PS Audio is available,but I think that a low cost Vans Evers Companion should work just fi... | |
| Best DAC under US$300 Ditto on the Cal Sigma.I have a Cal Alpha dac(same electronics as the Sigma but with balanced capability) and Cal Delta transport in my 20 k system ,and am quite pleased.I did upgrade the tubes and also had the Cal 24/96 upgrade(which improves the... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? I use to have a well burned in (500 hours for each format)Sony SCD-777ES sacd player,and while the clean detail and macro/micro dynamics were outstanding,it did not have the overall satisfaction that I got from my tweaked out Cal Alpha 24/96 /Delt... | |
| Source of Brightness Both prior suggestions are noteworthy and other possibilities are yet to be explored.You mention about the sacd format.If you have one of these players as I once had,then from extensive researching of many posts and audio reviews,one needs to burn... | |

| Does power cord length matter? Good luck with your new 2 meter cord.I guess I now realize that longer power cords up to 6 feet are better.I did get a good deal on a 4 ft NBS Signature power cord and it has to sound better than a 3 ft one as it is 1/3 longer.I also won an aution... | |
| Cables for McCormack/SF/Hales I failed to mention that I also have the Hales Revelation 3's and also use a PS Audio PP-300.The Rev 3's with the spikes are on 12x12x2 concrete patio blocks and I have a Teckna Sonic C-10 behind each speaker,a subtle but noticeable tweak.The Harm... | |
| Cables for McCormack/SF/Hales I Have a DNA-1 Dlx(and when my budget allows,or after I upgrade a few more power cords, I will get the A revision for it) and the most current Audible Illusions M3A.which has the latest production upgrades.I use to have an SFL-1 Signature and that... | |
| Mid Fi Cd Player with the Most Bass If your speakers do not have a reputation for great bass then a cd player can only deliver what you can play it through. Better amps and pre amps, each will also contribute to better bass,so will upgraded speaker cable,interconnects and power cord... | |

| Audible Illusions Modulus 3a tubes Mi3491,maybe you could not get tubes ,but I received a matched set of Tungstram 6922 tubes a few months ago for my M3A from Kevin and upon his recommendation. My unit was not bought from him. | |
| Does power cord length matter? I read that under 3 feet is not recommended by any company, and that 4 feet is usually o k by many companies. Not all cable companies adhere to the same policies on length. If you are going to have too much excess cables and cords that are all ent... | |
| Audible Illusions Modulus 3a tubes the Sovtek tubes strength is durability not exceptional sound .While the A.I. M3A is fussy on what tubes it uses, there are stil a few better tube choices.BTW the A.I M3A has gone through small production upgrades each year since the 3A was introd... |
