SACD Dominates Recommended List
Sony needs to ramp up this whole software thing and start putting out new titles, maybe even something besides classical or jazz? They are releasing the new Aerosmith which is a good sign. Now if I can just find a local store that knows SACD is no... 
Levinson upgrades vs factory original
Some of the reasons for price differences may be the factory faceplate. If I understood my dealer correctly, you can upgrade the #38 to 380s but the frontplate will not say 380s unless you pay an additional charge for a new one. I could be wrong a... 
Be consistent with brand?
First off I don't have loads of experience with different brands of cable but My take on it is like this...Most cable companies have certain design philosophies, whether they are legit or not is not part of this thread, but if you truly believe th... 
Holographic Imaging- Cable suggestions?
Adam, how do you like the 777es? Built like a tank but I couldn't swing it and ended up with the s9000es. Really hope the whole SACD thing takes off, but that's another thread all together. I run Ultra to a Audio Research LS-15, Ultra balanced w/x... 
Holographic Imaging- Cable suggestions?
I take that back. In MY system Transparent really made a difference once I had wired the entire chain. Everybody has an opinion. 
Holographic Imaging- Cable suggestions?
Transparent works best with the whole system done. What else are you using? 
PS Audio Ultimate outlet
FYI, on the ps-audio chat-room in Audio-asylum Paul says they are coming out with a 20 amp version which they recommend for 200 watt+ amps. Should be better for the dynamics.

Thanks Jctubes, I had 2 dedicated lines dropped in a house I am about to move in to and want to upgrade the outlets. Sounds like a reasonable tweak. 
Cable / Upgrade Recommendation
MGS, I am using Transparent Ultra between Sony 9000es/dvd/cd/sacd and ARC ls-15, Balanced Ultra to Proceed HPA2 and Super-biwire to ML Aerius i. I started off several years back with "music wave+" line and was fortunate enough to have a salesman a... 
Cable / Upgrade Recommendation
See if you can borrow another set of T-2's for between the pre-amp and amp and also some MIT to the speakers, I don't know which model to recommend. ( I use Transparent ) But I found sticking with the same mfgr/quality gave the system a better syn... 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
"CHEAP ONES" sorry, I am also testing 2 keyboards.... 
Need good Component Video Cables
You might want to contact Transparent and make sure you do not have a faulty cable. Might save you some $$. If you bought it local I would return it. Good luck. 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
I double blind tested some tires this morning on the interstate. The screeching tires and screams of terror where about the same with both sets, so I will stick with the cheep ones for now.

Siddh, if you don't mind me asking. How much do the outlets go for? 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
They could just claim that they burn it in for us, or make up some theory saying their design is so advanced and outstanding that it is just fine out of the box. But you don't see it happen? Seems like that would be a good marketing ploy to set yo...
