Cables Suggestions for My System?
Thanks for all the suggestions.I just picked up the AZ Hologram II from my primary dealer for an extended demo. For comparison, he also provided me with the Blue Circle BC92 cables.MB 
Cables Suggestions for My System?
Tvad - Your likely right but I have heard subtle differences. My previous system was very (emphasis on very) entry level and I was using some generic Monster cables. After upgrading everything but the speaker cables I got the Zu Wax cables. There ... 
Voltage Stabilizer, Power Conditioner, or both
I live in a NYC co-op and the voltage is all over the place especially in the Summer. I use an Exactpower EP 15A on a dedicated line and now everything is rock solid.

Any other MJ Acoustics owners out there?
I don't own one but I've been very on the fence about getting an MJ sub instead of a REL. The remote seems to be a useful feature but I worreid but resell value and factory support in the US. Can you offer any thoughts on why you're digging it ? 
Affordable Power Cords
A day late and a dollar short. I was talking to a VD sales rep yesterday. If I knew about this thread I could have gotten a free cord! Oh well. I'm considering replacing my Zu Birth PC's with the VD Davids. 
Need a 100 WPC Integrated Tube amp, reco's please?
The Cayin 100T puts out 100wpc but runs about $2,700. The 70T only has 55wpc in ultralinear but it cost about $1K less than the 100T. Both come with remotes. I agree with you, the Rogue Cronus is a great option but I believe it's only around 55WPC... 
Cayin A88T break in and biasing??
My dealer said that VAS is very slow in responding to emails and that I should call if I had any questions. I only needed to call once but I had no problem getting an answer. 
Cayin A88T break in and biasing??
I have the Cayin 100T. Its been about 6 weeks but I only have about 150 hours on it but so far so good. Being far too green at this hobby I can't begin to describe the positives and negatives but I really like the way it sounds. At first it did so... 
Walls, ceilings, floors -- neighbors and sound
I live in NYC apartment/condo. Fortunately on the top floor. First thing I did was just as Jeffjarvis did,,,let them know you care and that they should contact you if it gets too loud. At minimum you should have a large area rug (with a carpet pad... 
Can I ever stand to listen to our system again
My condolences.As other members have already stated, take comfort that your wife is in a better place and that she would not want you to deny yourself something that gave the both of you pleasure. God bless. 
Opinions on Cayin A70 or Unison Sinfonia?
To complicate matters, I'm now told there is a new US A100T model at 70wpc. Similar to some Rogue amps, it has a built in bias meter. Apparently it has an active pre-amp section versus passive one in the 70T. 
Opinions on Cayin A70 or Unison Sinfonia?
I was led to believe the same thing however I just checked AcousticSounds.com and their site says that the 70T is 30 watts. 
Newbie needs to make a decision, Rogue? Manley?
Tavd- Here is where my ignorance on these issues shines brightly. Both the Rogue Stereo 90 and Manley Mahi's have a switch which allows the choice of triode or ultralinear. Neither offers pentode. Unless of course the terms are interchangeable lik... 
Newbie needs to make a decision, Rogue? Manley?
Thanks for the responses. Someone emailed me about the Cayin 70T and I will look into it tonight. Hiend2 - Aren't the Hurricanes about $5K new. I've already sold off one child to get the funds for my HT. I wonder how much the others would fetch in...
