| Audioquest Sky Interconnects i agree with the kid...it is system synergy and your taste. my taste runs towards "plush" - smooth and accuratei have had good luck with the following:straightwire crescendo ic's(current)- neutral / big & bold / does everthing right. xlo signa... | |
| Remote Preamp $1000 Used here are a couple of suggestions.the electrocompient pre 4.6... very nice for a solid state pre. not bright or edg. just smooth, dynamic, and musical. also the audio research ls-12 is one of "THE" most neutral pre's i have heard or owned.if you wa... | |

| What other speakers would you consider for this .. btw, the marantz sa-8260 is a pretty good redbook cd player. the reviews are true on this one.the cd is very close to sacd and both formats have a relaxing analog sounding presentation. however, would suggest to buy new with a warranty, there have... | |

| Discovery 1-2-3 or Essential speaker cable that sounds like a very good offer from discovery, imo. i havent tried the speaker cables but i have found their interconnects to be world class products ( plus 4 & essence). i found out that moving up the food chain the frequency extremes got... | |
| Review: XLO 1.1 signature Interconnect this is one interonnect that has come, gone, and comeback. i think that is the biggest compliment to a cable design.it is very neutral with no short comings in my opinion. i dont hear the leaness in the mid that the stereophile review mentioned. i... | |
| Cardas Golden Cross vs. Golden Hexlink 5C i have had better luck with cardas speaker cable. the interconnects did not work well in my system no matter how hard i try to to like them (and i have tried them all).the neutral reference speaker cable is quite good imo.take care,mike | |
