REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening
I've owned several SVS subs and think they are great for home theater. I wouldn't choose them for 2-channel. I prefer JL Audio. To my ears the JL Audio subs produce musical bass.  
Interconnect Cables
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I purchased Audioquest Fire XLRs and Clarus Crimson speaker cables. Done for now! 
How good are Shunyata power cords??
Cables and power cords are system dependent. I recently had a home audition of Shunyata Sigma power cords and decided to keep my Wireworld Silver Electra 7 power cords with upgrade plugs. Over the past couple of weeks I had the opportunity to list...

Bel canto monoblocks and power cables
I've been experimenting with power cords and interconnect cables lately. Several manufacturers told me the most impact will "usually " be found by upgrading the power cords at the source and using the best interconnect at the source.  
Power Cord
I purchased Clarus Crimson speaker cables. The Audience is really, really good. The Clarus Crimson is on another level! 
Best Footers for DAC?
I saw a demo of them a couple months ago. I just received my IsoAcoustics GAIA I with spikes to replace my stock spikes and ISO-PUCKS. The ISO-PUCKS will go under my DAC and music server. They will be replacing Stillpoint Ultra Minis. I will post ...

My rant; we don't know what we don't know

My rant; we don't know what we don't know
I always say, we don't know what we don't know, but the answers can always be discovered with our own ears. My other saying is, there are no absolutes in Audio, only preferences. I value the different audio forums. It's part of the hobby to me. I'...

Power Cords
No,I get what you're saying, but everyone can't afford the Audioquest power cords that you are referring to. So what you're saying is mute to so many of us. 
Power Cords
jafant,Thanks. The Audience AU24 SX is a neutral cable that does everything very well in my system. I highly encourage anyone seeking new speaker cables to give them a listen. I will post my thoughts about the Clarus Crimson speaker cables on Satu... 
Power Cords
I’m sticking with my Wireworld power cords. I’m sure Audioquest power cords are fantastic, but way more money than I would allocate for a power cord. I’ve changed my interconnect cables from Wireworld Platinum to Audioquest Fire and love the resul... 
USB Cable Comparison Audience / Cardas / Purist / Stealth / Wireworld
Most companies recommend 1.5 meters for USB. I know Wireworld suggests 1.5 meters as the optimal length. Does Stealth suggest 1.5 meters as optimal? I noticed that the WW was 1 meter, do you think the results would differ if the WW was 1.5 meters?
