Ehernet cable question in streaming systems
would you get Supra over, let's say, Audioquest cinnamon? 
What should I choose??
I appreciate those of you who talked about listening room acoustics.  I think that is the next thing I will do before I replace my existing amp and speakers. "Bryston and B&W would not be a good fit." p05129Regarding the above comment...I have... 
B&W 802D3
I have had the B&W 802d's for about 12 years. I think they are great speakers.  You have realize that this speaker doesn't make any sound of its own...just meticulously reproduces what it is given. If you have a bad recording then these speake... 
Best 6NS7 Preamp for a Pass Labs XA25 amp
I agree with mboldda1The Ultraverve never fails to amaze me.  I use mine with a vintage 5692 6sn7 military tube.  It also sounds great with the usual suspects: Tung sol round plate GT, Raytheon vt-231, Sylvania W,  Kara, the designer of the Ultrav... 
Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions?
deHavilland Ultraverve tube preamp.  Simple, solid, really nice sound.  Uses four tubes.  The one 6sn7 tube gives this preamp its signature voicing.  I prefer vintage GT's, and military 6sn7's.  Point to point wiring. Nothing fancy, just solid wit... 
Power Cable from wall to my conditioner?
@f1status1    My best advice is to start at the source and take your time. If you can create a dedicated line for your system that is a great start. But if you can't do that, a quality dedicated wall receptacle for the source of your system is a g... 
Power Cable from wall to my conditioner?
Steakster...If I may ask, what is the relative cost of the Cerious power cable that you recommend?  Thanks, Jim  
New tube preamp
Scot, I would also highly recommend looking at the deHavilland Ultraverve preamp.  I am currently using a Tung Sol round plate 6sn7GT.  The sound is very nice...detailed and deep with great bass.  I also recently had Kara Chaffee (the designer of ... 
question about bi-wired speaker termination
Thank you jwpstayman.I appreciate your answer.  It was exactly what I needed to know.  I am grateful for the help of those with more experience than I have.  
Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
I found it.  Thanks!  Looks like a lot of choices and I'm sure quite an array of prices.  I'll check it out.  Jim 
Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
thyname  "Put Wireworld in your list. They have cables available for Node 2i"Can't seem to find anything on their website about C-7 power cables available for the Node.   
Budget Tube Amp (newbie)
What about a deHavilland ultraverve tube preamp serving a good solid state amp. I have the Ultraverve preamp and a Bryston power amp.  Wonderful depth and tone with no harshness or digital coldness.   
HAIL TO THE KING..GINGER BAKER
technical expertise is one thing and emotion is another.  The question, who is the greatest drummer? is a like trying to compare Michaelangelo's Mona Lisa to Picasso's Guernica and declaring one better then the other...its meaningless.  I was 19 y... 
What is wrong here.. on Audiogon?
Asking for advice on Audiogon is no different from panning for gold... some days you just have no luck!  I have been fortunate and found  informative and thoughtful people on this site who have really helped me with my questions. One of the greate... 
Classe CA-2100 - LED turn red, Amp shuts down, LEFT side of the Amp is extremely hot!
I experienced the same thing with a Bryston 14bsst amp.  One channel would go rogue and get extremely hot, then the warning light would come on and shut down the amp.  Sent it to Bryston repair and they said it was a bad bias and ended up replacin...
