Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
@jambaj0e Hi, I'm not sure where you're up to in your PC search, but after reading this thread, my interest in TWL cables was piqued. After a bit of reading online, I fired off an email to Pete, with a list of my electronics, and asked for advice ... 
Can this vibration isolator Iso Puck Mini support my ATC SCM 11?
I've read somewhere but don't remember where now, but the recommendation was to allow at least a 10% difference in weight of speaker/tolerance limit of pucks or other IsoAcoutic products such as the Gaia's and Oreo's. Speaker weighing 30lb would n... 
Puritan vs Nordost Power Cable
@mikedaniels HI Mike, do you mean a different brand in to the PSM156 or 136?  
recomendations please - RCA's/Speaker cables for Supernait3 from Node?
@audiocanada  Hi, I'm an ex-Naim owner (Nait XS2) I used Atlas Cables - Hyper 2.0 to speakers - no problems. The later Naim integrated are not as finicky with speaker cables as their older Classic series of amps were. I know many Naim owners als... 
Problem With Innuos Sense - Won't Play Selected Song?
I've had this happen to me, but it was nothing related to Sense, but my Internet service was either throttled due to service/maintenance, or there was a fault withe my local connection hub. Just a thought  
It’s it just me or there are others.
@tony1954  I agree with what you've described re: stress/pain leading to inspiration. I just played some REM from the 80s; Green, Fables of the Reconstruction, and Reckoning. I bought Monster, and Out of Time and then I left the building and sto...

KEF R3 Meta's - too much for my Marantz Model 30?
@kokakolia that's good advice. My dealer carries the Marantz Model 30 so would save me from lugging my own to the store 😊 I was just worried about wasting their/my time if the Marantz struggles with the R3 Meta's. After I posted this thread, I've... 
Inakoustik cables - where to buy
Hi, Not sure if this will be helpful; I'm in the UK but purchased mine from an online retailer kableworld24 in Germany via the big online auction site. They are official sellers for Inakustic, totally legit. Maybe contact to see if they'll ship t... 
Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
I concur with Soix; my fear was that the LavriCables would be cool, lean, harsh, which are not qualities I enjoy at all, but this couldn't be further from the truth in my experience.  You guys are a bad influence, I have the urge to explore deepe... 
Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
+1 @soix  I use the Lavri Grand RCA interconnects between DAC and amp. Lovely, clear, purity of tone. I'd like to experiment more with Lavri to be honest. I would like to try their power cords, especially on my amp, but they don't do UK mains plu... 
Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
@jambaj0e  I went with gold; I wanted a little warmth also 👍 I found Nawaz great to deal with by the way, he has a genuine passion for what he does. When I ordered the 6:6 speaker cables, he'd ust changed the design of the splitters to speaker; ... 
Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
Hi @jambaj0e  I don't have experience with TWL cables, but I have been using the NRG Custom - The 5 on a Class A/B SS amp, and a Class D amp, and it's smaller, thinner sibling the .1 on my DAC. I also have their speaker cables - the 6:6. In my e... 
Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences
Thanks @digsmithd ​​@audphile1  I've had my system playing while working upstairs, for between 15-17 hrs a day since installing the cable, so I have a ways to go yet then 😊. All part of the journey/fun 😉  
Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences
Thanks for this thread, really informative 👍; I took delivery of my first Furutech cable last Friday - FP-TCS31 with FI-1363-NI Gold (UK) , and FI-31 Gold IEC, to feed my Puritan PSM156 from the wall. My observations match @ryder 's; over the las...
