| Speaker cables Mid High end I have auditioned the components you have purchased. I called ahead and ask if I could bring a pair of interconnects to try in their system and they agreed. They were using a lower end Audioquest that was not up to the standard of the components. ... | |
| Amplifier suggestions please Take a look at the Parasound Halo A23+ ! On Ebay for 1269.00 either silver or black. Not mono blocks but the sound quality is great. Has a replaceable power cord for further fine tuning and of course the option of a fuse upgrade, both for your l... | |

| Has anyone compared old to new Audioquest Cables??? Research the old Audioquest "Clear", a excellent cable, and long standing favorite of may of the high end reviewers! Add a fresh set of the latest terminations and cryo treat them and you will have most of the advantages except the Bias Module. | |

I would take a walk down the path of upgrading your power without ANY doubt first dedicated line/lines! You may want to look into one of the audiophile inwall cables available and receptacles.

| Need power amp recommendations for system I have the same PS audio DAC, just sold the transport because I have gone to Aurender to play all files, love the convenience!! The sound is equal. I use a Bryston 4BSST cubed with great results! Sound is crystal clear , and imaging is great with ... | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables There are a pair of Audioquest Diamond XLRs on auction on Ebay now. I prefer any of Synergistic Research top cables the Apex, CTS. With the time of year now is the buying and selling time. Most any of the better known cable companies that have mor... | |
| A better lamp cord for my stereo equipment? I have added an IEC receptacle to several of my older components with great success! It is fairly easy, and the vast array of powercord tech is then at your dispense. As a matter of fact most of the gear was mid fi and it responded very well. Just... |
