Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000
The hands bown best speaker cable I have ever had, and I have had many, is the DNM Precision on my efficient horns. When I moved to high current solid state, DNM HFTN Stereo was the winner! http://www.dnm.co.uk/cables.html 
Speaker pairings with Pass INT-30A
I have heard the Shelby + Kroll Nano Monitors on the Pass 30A and they sounded great! http://www.shelbykroll.com/Good Luck :-) 
Need speaker for a small space and close to wall
A pair of Shelb+Kroll Monitors and the matching Woofer Monitor(sub) will work very well in your room. Very clean and detailed yet musical with a huge sound stage. When I first got my pair they were sitting on a 32"h x 25"w counter top for a couple... 
Speakers for low power tube amplifier
Lowther Medallion 2 amd Omega Super 8 Alnico XRS When I had my 8w 300b amp both of these speakers performed and very well. Your Silvaweld is an exceptional amp will shine on both speakers. Of course your room will tell the tale of which is best fo...

Hi Brian,Are you using a fullrange speaker or a speaker sub combo? 
Hypex Ncore NC400
Maybe there was something wrong with these nCores?Desalvo55,The Ncores sound best plugged directly into the wall. I'm not sure of your set up, but that is the way that most users found them to sound best. There are many threads about the Ncore ove... 
Coax to Optical Converters Anygood?

Coax to Optical Converters Anygood?
Ginov,I found out about the Dual Core from US distributor Tim Ryan of Simplifi Audio. I had purchased a Dspeaker Antimode 8033s from him, and before the D/C came out he offered me one at a prerelease discount. The 8033s impressed me so much that I... 
Coax to Optical Converters Anygood?
Hi Ginov,Thank you for the lead on the Behringer SRC 2496. I looked into buying one, but most dealers in the states are sold out. The new shipment should arrive sometime in the next couple of months, so maybe then. I received my Dual Core on July ...

Abbingdon Music Research gold fuses ???
Audiofun hit the nail on the head about the AMR fuses. I put the AMR fuses in my amp and noticed a considerable improvement in sound quality and tonal texture. As "boutique" fuses go the AMR's are a steel at their price point. I think I paid in th... 
DACT stepped vs. TKD continuous attenuator?
I had them both in my Audio Note Kits M3 Pre amp. I felt the Dact was the better choice for sound quality. If you are still looking for a very good attenuator (bested the Dact IMHO) look at the Acoustic Dimension 41 stepped Attenuator. The price w... 
Downward facing subwoofer on carpet, bad idea?
First off your Snell K2's are awesome sounding 2 ways. Detailed, wide soundstage, speedy, dynamic and well controlled tight bass. Back in the mid 90's I sooo wanted to purchse them, but was putting the ex through college and....So onto the amp. Yo... 
natural sounding CD player or transport
47 Labs Flatfish Transport :-) Very natural sounding and takes a huge step forward on a battery power supply. 
integrated amp suggestions solid state
I have used and love the ATC SIA2-150. 150 watts where the first 15 are in class A and then moves into class A/B if more power is needed. The ATC has the rich full bodied sound of class A with the nuts of very well designed class A/B. I preferred ...
