Audioquest or Transparent?
I second the notion of  which speaker cable is  better being dependent on the sonics of your system.  I felt the Transparent MM2 Super speaker cables wonderful until I moved into a house with a brighter living room and with my already slightly bri... 
Please help - WHICH INTEGRATED AMP?
I recommend tube amps and DACs for truely alive sound.  I had a Cayin A100-T integrated amp which sounds totally rich and alive and should have enough power to drive the Sonus Fabre mini towers  well and should produce incredibly dynamic alive sou... 
Shunyata Python CX vs Kubala Emotion Power Cords?
The Python CX and Kubala Emotion are open and dynamic power cables which both lean slightly toward an organic and warm romantic direction without being dull.These are two somewhat similar sounding power cables with the Kubala Emotion being slightl... 
Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables...
I found both the great sounding Shunyata Ztron and Python CX power cords to not only be rich and dynamic, but to lean toward smooth and warm - while maintaining their great soundstage, dynamics and openess. To me, in my system, the Python CX surpr... 
Shunyata conditioner
I recommend dropping dynamics limiting power conditioning all together. Perhaps there is a power conditioner out there that does not limit dynamics much, as I have not heard them all. However, I have owned many and the best sound I have heard yet ... 
Shunyata Venom PS8 Power Distributor?
I have a Shunyata Venom PS8 and love it. Wonderful Musicality and increase in dynamics. Did not dull the dynamics, blunt the highs, and color the sound like PS Audio P-5 and Dectet did. Now on to a dedicated power line... 
Subwoofer for "seamless" integration with Zu Druid
I have a pair of MJ Acoustics Ref 100 which work well with my Zu Druids. I find them to be quit musical and to blend in well, as do the REL Strata. It seems most high powered subs do not integrate well, so lower powered musical subs worked best, f... 
How to safely bias Cayin A88T Tube amp
It is easy to bias the Cayin A88T. You do not need to pay anyone. Buy a multimeter at Radio Shack or elsewhere for $20 or less. Put the amp on its side and take off the metal bottom (lots of screws, do not take off the feet). The voltages can be l... 
Transparent Super MM2 Vs Zen Satori Speaker Cables
Just giving others a heads up and being helpful by sharing information. It seems that is what these forums are about and my time is well spent. A substantial investment in speaker cable like the transparent and the significant impact on my stereo ... 
Transparent Super MM2 Vs Zen Satori Speaker Cables
One more addendum, the Analysis Plus Oval 9 is a very nice cable. All I am saying is that in my system, it warmed the sound a little too much. In other words, if the Transparent Super MM2 speaker cable does not seem warm enough to you, the Analysi... 
Transparent Super MM2 Vs Zen Satori Speaker Cables
For what it is worth, I feel the Acoustic Zen Satori to still be one of the best speaker cables out there. I feel that comparing them to the Transparent Super MM2, is an apples an oranges proposition. The Acoustic Zen Satori, sound a bit like the ... 
Tekton Mini Lore Bookshelf Monitors
There is a pair of great sounding zu druids MKiv for sale on audio asylum now with current asking price of $900. I would offer delivery and pay pal included at that price and go with those maybe. I love mine. Their current replacements are in the ... 
Acou Zen vs Anaysis Plus vs Cardas Clear Sp. Cable
The Satori Speaker cable have a more open natural revealing sound than the Oval 9, which sounds much smoother and warmer than the Satori, perhaps a little too smooth to me. In my system (Almarro 318B amp, Zu Druid Speakers, Zen Wow interconnects),... 
Acoustic Zen Satori VS Analysis Plus Oval 9
Last commentary, these are Apple and Orange speaker cables. Both good, both bring a slightly different sonic pallet to the table. I listened again to the AZ Satori and Analysis Plus Black Mesh Oval 9, and the Zen Satori seem to be a little more dy... 
Acoustic Zen Satori VS Analysis Plus Oval 9
To qualify a prior statement, when I said the Oval 9 had slightly less shimmer than the Satori, I was not implying that the Oval nine lacked shimmer. They have plenty of that. The highs with the oval nine not only sounded open and nicely detailed ...
