Signal Power Cord with digitial components
For my Oppo I made up my own power cord using Marinco ends and heavy duty 12 gauge insulated wire from a local hardware store. I have better cords within some of my systems in the house but have not had the time to audition them on the Oppo. I wou... 
Signal Power Cord with digitial components
I use the C7/C14 adapter that has round sides on both sides of the adapter. I think you need the C7/C14 "polarized" version that has round on one side and square on the other:http://www.takefiveaudio.com/mall/shopexd.asp?id=361if that one doesn't ... 
Signal Power Cord with digitial components
I think you'll need to use an adapter if you want to try and 15A IEC. You can review possible candidates here:http://www.takefiveaudio.com/mall/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=82&cat=AC+AdaptersI'm not saying you should buy frome Gene (although he ... 
Maple Audio Works
another review on the flipside:http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_7_4/audio-cable-shootout-part-1-12-2000.htmlAs I said - its all about synergy. Trying them for yourself is the only way to really know. Buy used to reduce the risk...

Maple Audio Works
Like most if not all cables system synergy will ultimately determine if any cable will work in your set-up. The Ambiance model is a good introduction to Maple Audio Works cables and probably their best value. Shop for used as their resale value (b... 
External DAC for Sony SCD-777ES
I don't think you'll find a great dac in that price range or at least one that will overthrow your modded Sony. I used to have an Audio Note 2.1x balanced dac that was better than the redbook section of my xa9000es but that was more than your budg... 
ARC LS17 vs Aesthesix Calypso
I would have to agree with JWC37 on the LS-17. I auditioned the 17, 26 & Ref 3 and felt the 17 was never in the race. It just didn't have any hook to it - nothing it did grabbed me.I have heard the Calypso albeit in another system and it was r... 
Affordable Power Cords
Rick, I'm in as I'd like to hear what one can do for my system. 
What is best amp for Maggie 3.6R
check the archives as this question has been asked numerous times and if memory serves me right even as early as a week or so ago.

Oppo 981 is quite the machine but using HDMI into my Sony SXRD tv there is macroblocking or pixelization (maybe not right words as I'm not a videophile) but the super clean picture comes with its issues. Maybe its my Sony? But hey back to the poin... 
Buying from Canada a hassle for you too?
Puuuullllleeeeease!We take longer than normal to ship? Talk about a stereotype mentality! I've acutally shipped stuff to the US when payment was also "in the air". Let me advise there are good and bad A-gon members on both sides of the border when... 
Hiss at addition in system LAMM L2
This sounds like what I had when I owned a L2-ref preamp. Bought used off a dealer it exhibited the same behaviour as yours. Discussed the issue with the dealer who said some hiss was normal and he could hear some hiss sitting over 15' away from h... 
amp to go with bryston preamp
I'm sure you'll get a few observations but having owned a number of Bryston preamps and amps over the years I can attest that Bryston preamps mate superbly well with their own amps. Something has to be said for synergy between components from the ...
