| What is the best power cable under $200.00 retail? I have had good luck replacing all my cables with Furutech PCOCC wire. They sell bulk cable that is very similar to that used in their top cables. For power cords, I would use the unshielded 12awg FP-Alpha 3 on my amps, and the 14awg shielded FP-3... | |

| Preamp modifications - who would you use? Well...when it came down to it the potential pitfalls you mention definitely weighed in as a factor in choosing not to mod my LL2. However, the modded LL2 I described had the best quality upgrade parts such as Dueland coupling caps, Eurocap bypass... | |

| Why the obsession with the lowest octave Even though my speakers are said to go to 30hz, I have often wondered whether cutting them off a little higher and blending in a pair of quality subs would result in not only deeper bass but better defined bass. OTOH, some say it is exceptionally ... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Is there viability to downloading music in a hi-rez format, burning to a DVD and then playing back on a hi-rez player? I have absolutely no experience in this area, or with computer based audio storage/playback, but I am considering getting starte... | |
| Help with VTL TL 5.5 Preamp When I owned this model preamp, the highs were one of the best features so hopefully you get it sorted out. | |

| Contact Enhancer Deterioration Used to use Quicksilver, but cleaned it all off and now use Deoxit for cleaning and ProGold for treatment. I have sometimes wondered how well the expensive Furutech Nano Liquid works. I have found the Furutech products I have tried to be excellent... | |
| PCOCC Cable is it worth it in the long term? once this stuff is gone, there will only be higher cost alternativesWhere did you hear this? There are many manufacturers selling PCOCC hook-up wire, and both Furutech and Neotech sell both bulk cables and hook-up wire made from OCC copper . To yo... | |
| MUSE Erato II - Anyone using this player? It is in transit and scheduled to arrive on Thursday. I had them include the attenuator option since the cost as part of the upgrade was not that much and also because I can still choose to use it through a preamp with the fixed 2V output module w... | |
