Nuforce STA200
I have a modified Adcom GDA 700 ( an oldie ) along with an after market cord and fuse. I've tried some more recent units ( all under 1K retail ) and still enjoy mine. I have an AA DDE V3.0, with an upgraded power supply and power cord in another s...

barnettk, I know it was. All good. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Which power cords should I look at?
N80, yes you. The minimization of " the noise floor " was discussed on the other thread, as a huge benefit of after market power cords, as you so well know. I am letting these guys know, before hand, who they are dealing with, as you might talk ab...

I mentioned on another power cord thread that the naysayers will likely show up elsewhere. It did not take long. Enjoy ! MrD.

dorkwad, of course I know who Doug S is. I was asking barnettk if he knew. It seemed to me like he was clueless as to who Doug was, stating " taking one for the team " . Enjoy ! MrD. 
Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)
I disagree with " horn loading that exchange dynamics for coloration ". " Good " well designed horns, set up correctly ( room, listening distance and associated gear ) ime, have very little coloration. I totally agree with david_ten. Enjoy ! MrD.

Nonoise, naysayers are excellent in pulling us in to these conversations and debates. I have nothing to prove to them, and do not care in what they think or believe. They have the problems and issues with it, not you, and certainly not me. I am le... 
Nuforce STA200
The Saga and STA 200 work well together. The input gain on the amp will easily allow you to use the Saga in passive mode, which I prefer over the tube stage. It is of course personal, and you might like the added color and roundness of the tube so...

Why Power Cables Affect Sound
N80, would you mind if I forward you information on a cord, specifically for your Proceed amp. It is from China by an excellent manufacturer, and depending on the length you need, would run under $100. I recommend them often. You could also rent o... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Oh, N80 hears the improvement with his updated house wiring. Ok, that is a start. I do caution anyone to use knob and tube wiring, as it does not sound better ( unless it was installed " dedicated " from the panel, which I believe is what he is he... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
N80, I am done with prof and analogluvr, as they are no longer worth my time. I indicated that I did not like the cables in your system, because somewhere, I remember reading you mentioning the brand " Transparent ", I do not like the sound of th...
