... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY?
Audio Art e2plus everywhere except tuner DH Labs Corona. Glorious! 
What cable is best?
scar972 I disagree. I find by experience that connectors make as much a difference as the core cable itself. I’ve done the experimentation and find connectors add a characteristic to the sound of the cable as the cable itself. 
What cable is best?
Both cables are nice. The Corona is faster and more detailed where the Redwave is warmer and sweeter sounding. I would say that the better cable would be component and system dependent. On my warmer Moon 430HA the Corona but on my Pass Labs X1 the... 
TOTL Headphone Amps
I’m enjoying the Moon 430HA myself with my LCD4 phones. I also used the Auralic Taurus Mk2 previously but find the Moon amp quite a bit better than the Taurus. 
Does anyone notice a reduction in sound quality when a tuner is part of ther audio chain?
Thanks for all your input. In fact my tuner is out being repaired which is how I notice the difference in sound. I think it's a matter of RF which is leaking from tuner input into the rest of the preamp. I think it's not resolvable unless I actual... 
Audio Art Statement 1 power cables?
I find these decent budget cables if you want to call a $1000 power cable a budget cable. Just the same these cables sound quite smooth.

Does anyone else have experience with these power cables? 
Where to put new Dream State Veridical cable
Hi Zd542, I upgraded from my stock cables in 2001 and have slowed down over the years. The Dream State Veridical is a cable which I've heard before in 2005 in my system but since I've redone all of my cabling. I always regretted selling my Veridic... 
The best CD Player for the money
There are many excellent players on the market today. The "classic" players are the current ones. If you were to try an original phonograph it would sound crappy also. CD players have come a long way since the 80's. 
Talk Thunder 6
Anyone? 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
The Talk Electronics Thunder 6 has taken the mystery out of what good digital can sound like. I truly believe I may not get tired of this player for a very long time regardless the power cable attached to it. Obviously anyone will praise their own... 
Review: 6SONS Audio Golden Eagle pc Power cord
I've just purchased three Golden Eagles and am considering another. I've been playing with power cables for years now and have tried many cables in a mass variety of combinations. After years of research I've come to the conclusion that many if no... 
Cable Costs Relative to System
After years of chasing power cables I have decided to know what's in the cables I purchase. If the cable design is a secret then I'm very leery. The last few sets of cables I have purchased work well and are a good value in parts alone. In my rece... 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
When I got my Pass X250/X1 combo I knew I had found my brand of amp. I since upgraded the x250 to an X250.5 and I had my X1 completely redone at Pass to update it to current. Pass gear has put an end to my search for electronics as did Talk Electr... 
Classe CA300 vs. Classe CA2200?
The Classe would sound smoother and therefor better than a Bryston. I have had huge reliability issues with more Classe gear than I care to remember but they sounded nice when they worked. I since have moved on to Pass gear and have never looked b...
