How much does your system retail for?
Observation One: There was absolutely nothing displayed at the show that was worth the price being demanded for it; $20,000 amplifiers, $80,000 speakers, get real. The object is the music, not to impress your neighbors with expensive toys.My Quest...

Can you measure musical reproduction per money spent? 
ZCable Impressions
It seems their people came from Kimber Cable and founded a 'new' company. Looks like they use government released technology, buy from Belden, put it in cool jackets and then sell to the consumer. I would buy some of their cables just to try singl...

Room Acoustic Treatment with High WAF?
I bought a set(6)of demo RPGs level one (charcoal) from Audio Advisor. Not bad looking at all and not a bad price either(reg. $69.95, demos $39.95!!!).Try getting your wife into participating in the decor...tell her how 'important' is her feedback... 
Power Conditioning in Apartment Complex.
I know the regenerator would be #1 choice, but right now it's not in the budget...need to finish modifying my new Technics turntable, need speaker stands and am setting up a separate home theater rig for the same room as the audio. Dekay, I bought... 
Dedicated line vs. power conditioner
What if you're living in an apartment building? What options would I have, if any? I currently own a Tice AV Solo and bought a Leviton 20 amp hospital grade outlet.

I agree 100% with Frank. Need above average phono stage (which I do). My cheap college years' Yamaha TT with a Sumiko Blue Point (properly tweaked) would beat a $300 Technics CD player (year 1993). I recently bought a Cambridge CD player and was a... 
Am I on the right analog track?
Yes, you are! I recently auditioned the same setup you have at a store. It was rigged to a Carver Sunfire tube preamp. My first comment: "Definitely, CDs don't sound like THAT."As for your phono preamp, is it that little NAD outboad that sells for...

Speaker Cable for Tube SET System?
Call Steve, he's a cool guy...also, there are audio forums on the Decware website where you can address your questions to the people who use Zens and similar equipment. As far as I know, RF is not too much of a problem in speaker wires because alt... 
Speaker Cable for Tube SET System?
Dekay, I have spoken personally with Steve. He knows his audio inside out. Talk to him. The only wire he sells is his silver plated copper interconnects, but he'll gladly tell you what works best for SETs. The only reason I did not buy them is bec... 
Technics SP10-Mk2 Rega RB300 Combine
As I said before, take it to a TECHNICS SERVICE CENTER (not an 'authorized' service center). Let them check it out for you. In my case, I got a brand new SL-1200MK2 for $450, plus the Sumiko HSMMT headshell($30), the Cardas tonearm wire ($16), JA ...
