Which Cord Are U Using On Your Stealth?
I don't consider myself a Stealth basher but my experiences were similar to Kana's. I think that power is different for everyone from the components you have to if you live in an apartment in the city etc. I preffered the sound of my system plugge... 
Jolida vs. Arcam
It sounds like you've narrowed your list but you might consider the Linn Genki used. I own it and am interesetd in the Jolida and may try it but the Genki has a very nice sound that sneaks up on you. It doesn't dazzle you at first listen if your d... 
I'm depressed, my system hurts my ears.Please help
I have the placette passive (pure vishay S102K resistors) and have the same problem to some extent. I fixed it by adding an SCE harmonic recovery system HRS. It really adds to the sound. I still thought the sound was electronic so I upgraded the p... 
High priced power cords and power conditioners????
Jmcgrogan2 what does the isolated ground mean on your dedicated lines? You've got the white and black and the green safety ground going back to your main breaker box. Does it mean that the green safety ground has it's own earth ground?ThanksSteve 
Best Amp & Pre-amp combo for under $2000 ???
It's a no brainer, the Odysey Audio stratos stereo amplifier with tempest preamp. The musicality of the this system is absolutely intoxicating. If you don't like it send it back for a refund.

Bel Canto evo's
Sorry, I need to start proof reading my posts. The smaller solen and auricaps (100, 10, 1) were the ones that I added to the Evo. I purchased them from percy audio. 
Bel Canto evo's
The SLVR was my favorite out of a lot of highll regarded cords including palladium and elrod standard. It was the cheapest also. They all were very good however. I don't know about the evo2, when I auditioned it one of the allen screws was strippe... 
Bel Canto evo's
I've got both the evo 200.2 stereo and stratos right now and a second evo on the way. It sounds good stock and even better with modifications, vibration isolation and upgrded power cord. So far I like the TG Audio SLVR power cord the best. Ugrades... 
Elect. EMC-1 Mk II vs. Audio Aero Capitole Mk II ?
Head to head I prefered the Gamut CD-1 to the EMC. It was cleaner, faster, and more invlolving. 
PC/Conditioner question
Brightness and grain come from a lot of sources but power cords are definitely one. There are some DIY recipes on Audio asylum whose faults are ones of ommision that really helped tame some brightness in my set up. I am currently trying an Elrod E...
