Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1)
If price is the criteria for $uper High End, than $2K for a power cord is relatively inexpensive and "some" wouldn't consider them super high end based on cost. There are several companies that sell power cords for twice to eight times the price o... 
Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back?
I listened to Goldenear Reference speakers at my local dealer a couple of months ago. Not to hear the speakers but to hear a Chord Blu MkII. I just don't like the way they sound. Of course just my opinion:) 
Chord signature reference versus Audience SX speaker cables
I recently had a home audition of the Audience SX speaker cables. In my system they were very, very, good. I preferred them over Wireworld Silver Eclipse 7 and Shunyata Alpha speaker cables. Cables are system dependent, but in my system the Audien... 
IsoAcoustics GAIA
I currently have Stillpoints Ultra Mini's under all of my components, but because Isopucks are relatively inexpensive I may try a few. 
Austin Texas area Audio folks?
pantera33,Are you by appointment only?  
Cable advice needed
addyson815,That's what I got out his question also. I agree with jl35, "most companies recommend the best cable from source to pre." I have two different XLR cables and use the "better" one between my source and pre. 
Help needed for a skeptic!
Have you ever had a home audition of any cables? I submit that's the best way to overcome skepticism. Look into Clear Day cables and ask for a home trial. 
Cable advice needed
Are you asking where should the better cable go? If so, Audioquest told me to put the better cable from my source to preamp. 
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... 
Speaker Suggestions
Revel F208 
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 ...
