What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear
What does a pissing contest have to do with power cords? Your logic eludes me, but then again, nonsense is not supposed to make sense, maybe it's supposed to be funny?HA HA HA HA! 
How Important is power conditioning if you have
One Christmas eve night, it must have been when Christmas came on a Sunday, I was listening to my bedroom system, and noticed a distinct change. The music sounded so good I couldn't stop listening. No, I hadn't been smoking any "wacky weed", poppe... 
What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear
Before anybody goes off the deep end, I'm simply applying these formulas to power cords, and nothing else. That flakey AC coming out of the wall hasn't changed, and a power cord is not going to change it. A heavy gauge power cord with good connect... 
any one give the Polk Lsi25 a good listen?
Shakeydeal, I can write, but can you read. Bang for the buck means what it says. Dollar spent for dollars worth of sound = Polk Speakers. Now if you spend a gozillion dollars on Wilson or one of those other "Stereophile" speakers and then say your...

Schipo, you're going to bust a lot of balloons, and rain on parades talking like that; but I've saved tons of money by buying equipment that's been reviewed by blind tests.

Polk speakers are bang for the buck, no other speakers can compete, but if you're talking "audiophile", keep on moving. 
PrimaLuna ProLogue Two vs ProLogue Premium
I've gotten fantastic results from tube rolling in my prologue six, I would think you could get the same results in your ProLogue two. Tung Sol EL 34's made a big difference for me. Sorry I can't be of any help with your question. 
Can a $3K table be among the best out there?
Sota Saphire is definitely a world class table, and it has a good suspension. 
Sick and tired of hum-please read
Fluorescent lighting will cause hum to a phono cartridge for sure. If that's the case, those lights could cause hum to a lesser degree in other sources. 
Prima Luna Dialogue series, is it worth the money?
Do not replace the AX7's. I replaced all of the tubes, but quickly put the AX7's back in; that was on my Prologue 6. 
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Heavens to murgatroid! if it ain't Rok2id. I wonder why your ears are burning? Those "audiophile" ears should be enjoying good music, and I want to help them.Have you heard "Jazz Impressions of Eurasia", or "Jazz Impressions of Japan" by Brubeck? ... 
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
I've got a CD by Miles that I hadn't heard in so long that I forgot what it sounded like. After the first cut, I knew why I hadn't heard it in so long. Miles must have been at that stage when he thought his "farts" sounded good.When an artist has ... 
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
I have the LP "Desmond Blue"; that cover alone is worth the price of the ticket. 
Were any of you taping concerts circa 1972-88?
I had an Akai reel as well as a Kenwood cassette. I still use my reel, which is now a Technics 2 track.At that time, an Empire turntable, and a V15 cartridge was the thing, they were some really beautiful TT's.Since I'm into jazz, I can't help you... 
Anyone still playing on Cassette decks?
Just yesterday, on a Sony KA3ES, using Sony Metal-SR tape, Herby Man in Brazil. It sounded real good.If you're going to get into quality decks, be sure and by two identical decks. Parts are no longer available. I bought spare rubber for mine, that...
