Looking for wider soundstage
Not that good with a PC but here is their site SYNERGISTICRESEARCH.COM, I have been getting Synergistic products from Highland Audio in CA. The more I listen with the HFT's the more impressed with them, also at Highland the reviews that they show ... 
Looking for wider soundstage

Sharing my experience with cables

Best audiophile earwax removal system?

Synergistic Research PHT- all of 'em! And then some!

6550 tube in an ARC Ref 5 SE

Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy
I replaced my heavy heavy ARC HD220 stereo amp with lighter DS450 mono amps which barely get warm,I'm using Synergistic Level 2 cords with SR orange fuses though might not sound as good as yours but with my Magnepan 20.1's they drive them loud and... 
Transparent vs Synergistic Research?
I use Synergistic and TP power cords and interconnects XLR's are TP's but sound great but it really depends what there connected to, so it hard to say that one brand is better than another this goes with every cable mentioned,Shunyata cables get g... 
Transparent Audio
I picked up a used pair of Shunyata Anaconda Zitron XLR going from phono amp to pre amp which sounded good but on a few songs the cymbols were not sharp so I took my TP Super MM2's XLR and hooked them up and it was superior in sound to the Shunyat...
