AudioQuest SKY revisit
Yes Ctsoone, One thing about the batteries. I actually disabled them as I found it messes with the neutralness. it kind of changed the sound staging and burring the outlines of the top and bottom frequencies. 
Hum level with Absolare amps
Thanks for the replies, I am now using 18W lamm ML2.1 which is very quiet but Cessaro told me that the TAD 15' bass drivers actually could benefit with more power so I guess the Absolare could be a good match. 
TW Acustic Turntable Mat
I wonder how it compares to the Millennium mats and if any Raven owners have tried it? 
Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?
What is musical to your ear? 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
I have done it before. At mid end HIFI. Out of all the equipments, the speakers can make the biggest difference. Go and listen as they all sound different! Try to get as full range as possible as oppose to those refined monitors or you will end up... 
Mini-monitors $5,000 - $10,000
For me, it is the one from Crystal cable! 
How hot is First Watt?
WOW, that is not good for Summer use then! 
grills or no grills on your speakers..matters?
Grills On only for parties. If you can't hear the difference, then your system may needs upgrade! 
Isolation platforms for turntables
I think if you can move the turntable to the centre of the rack and floats the rack with some kind of support/feet then it should be fine. Adding Symposium will improve better. You can move your speakers a feet or two out form the front wall. 
ARC ref 3,5 OR Lamm LL2.1 for my ml2.1
As another ML2.1 owner, I am using Herron 3. I found it much quieter then the Lamm and on par with everything else. Cost less too! 
Zensati Cables
I totally agree with Vmhf. This power cable is of something special. It opened up my system in a way more so than anything I have tried. For me, this has been the best valve up grade that really works. Are they insanely priced? Well, sometimes wit... 
Stealth metacarbon v/s Zensati No 3 interconnect
As far as I know, Zensati 3 is ordinary, not worth the price but 2 is a total difference beast!! I know for power cable, 3 is the best buy but for speaker and ic, you need to go for No 2 or higher. 
Let's share secrets of Lamm 6C33C tubes
Cmon' Share the secret! or any thing you think is interesting! 
Your top 3 worst purchases ever
For me, all 3 came to Audio Research VT100! I got all 3 versions and they all needed repairs after repairs!! Very good sounding amp but just poorly designed. Blowing boards all the time until it was too hard to repair! I wonder if I am the only un... 
Calling Lamm ML2.1 owners
I have a question about the 6c33c tubes? The tube store is marking them form 18 - 39 on the box. I wonder what that means and which should I be using for V1 and V2 position to get the best match?Thanks.
