| Why do digital coax cables matter? Huge thanks for that eloquent explanation Steve. I was hoping you would see this thread. It's making much more sense to me now. One of the best threads on these Audiogon forums I have read in fact. Thanks again. | |
| Looking for power cable suggestions Ok, thanks for the Pangea rec. | |
| El34 vs. KT88 "If you plan on using the older 2Cs stick with ARC."I'm not sure how long I'll be sticking with the 2C's. I want to get a good amp now, and maybe new speakers later. I know for a fact that there are many good tube amps out there that work great wi... | |

| Looking for low-watt tube amp suggestions. 05-25-12: RoscoeiiiRobertsong,It would also be helpful to know what speakers you will be driving. This will be a factor with some of the recs mentioned here (like my MiniWatt recommendation for example). -------------------------------------------... | |

| Fake Audioquest cables? Ok, thank you Elizabeth. | |
| Fake Audioquest cables? The cable looks identical to the pictures that Audioquest has. It was the price of the cable (about 1/3 retail) that had me worried. I had not thought about the "authenticity" when I bought it. | |
| Good amp match for vinatge Vandersteen 2C's? This exactly why I want to hear the Sig II's. I think just changing the speaker might get the sound I'm looking for. I use a Nak TA-4A, but would love to hear other amps as well. ["The soft top end of the original Vandy 2 was an essential part of ... | |
