Dedicated Audio is a perfect fit for many products.  
AC Connectors
Check out Iego (capital "eye"- ee - go). Lessloss switched to Iego cord ends. The eBay vendor "alexsoundtechnology" has them. These do not have the screw in the middle. Please PM me for more info. I'm not affiliated with the seller or Iego.  
Budget High Current Power Cords
Here's yet another place to look, Douglas Connection. You can get DIY materials from them or they can build what they call "custom made" cords. Their Elite 12 power cable may be what you are looking for. I have made some DIY cords with the Lapp wi... 
A little tube magic?
The following is what I'm doing right now for the exact same issue, millercarbon's eyes will be rolling soon I'm sure (don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy MC's presence both for the experienced perspective and the entertainment value provided f... 
TV Power Cords
My Panasonic 65" plasma has a standard C15 IEC connector. My DIY cord is a DH Labs Encore cable with a Furutech silver IEC and a Furutech gold male plug. I don't listen to the TV speakers so, no comment on the sound (my tv sound is routed through ... 
Rega P3: Neo PSU or New Cartridge?

Linn Sondek LP-12 tonearm recommendations?
Lots of good info has been provided here. cd318 mentioned that a lot depends on the spec level of your table, that is, what bearing does it have, what sub chassis, what arm board, is the plinth a corner braced version, what bottom plate, what top ... 
What tubes are in you Rogue RP-5?
My friend Jim put a set of Mazda tubes in his RP-5 for a big improvement over stock tubes and also over current production tubes such as Gold Lion and Mullard (the Mullards were better than the Gold Lions in this case). The rear pair of tubes have... 
Rogue Rap-1 to RP-5
I can't answer the exact question but, a friend went from a Rogue Perseus to the RP-5. It was a big improvement all around and the Perseus can perform well in the right situation.The Perseus lacks a standby mode so, it took a few hours (like 5 or ... 
Tube buffer in tape loop@
Maybe instead of the buffer, you should try a Schiit Audio Loki. A friend put one between his Jolida cd player and Rogue RP-5 tube preamp. Now it is possible to tolerate listening to the Stones Let it Bleed album. 
Adding "Internet radio" to home system
I have a Grace GDI-IRTP800 component internet radio tuner. It works on Wi-Fi or LAN line. It outputs RCA analog or digital. No longer made but, is available used on eBay. Internet radio sound quality is variable. I'm running coax digital into a Lu... 
Bookshelf speakers that project voices well
Thanks everyone for your input. One option speaker wise that fits in with the LS3/5A line of thought is the Kef LS50. What HI-FI liked it with the Arcam.The question about budget - max of $1000.I'm gonna take a hard look at the ZVOX. 
Can hardware change speaker phasing over time??
This may be completely unrelated and I know nothing about electronics but, I was an air conditioning tech for 40+ years. There is a weird thing that can happen on 480 volt ac units, if the capacitor for the outdoor fan motor goes bad, the fan will... 
Focal vs dynaudio
I replaced the Dynaudio Contour 60 with the Focal Sopra 2. Gave up a higher level of technical performance and analytical sound for a much greater level of musical performance and pure pleasure (yes, I already know that the analytical purists an... 
REGA Turntable Planar 2: Glass Platter question
A friend has a P3 with a Herbie's Audio Way Excellent II Turntable Mat. It is a distinct improvement over the felt mat. This is going the opposite direction from using no mat.
