Power cords: Kimber Kable Palladium
@jasonbourne52 ​The wire maniacs will tell me that is too little and I must spend at least $500 on a PC to hear a difference sorry but $2000 is the minimum to spend before hearing a substantial improvement.​​​​​​

I'm still using an NVO (New Valve Order) all tube design. Along with a Gold Note PH-10. The NVO was all the rage 5-6 years back and it's rare the come up used but when they do they are snatched up quickly. Any other users try one of these units?

@rhach what tonearm & cartridge are on the Feickert? What cables are you using including ac cords?   
All New Furutech PROJECT V1 Power Cable The New KING Of Power Cables ?!
The wife could always use it as either a necklace or belt! My wife has bought more expensive necklaces then this cord....  
Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?
So I've now listen to a Nucleus vs Innuos and found VERY little difference YMMV. I kept the Nucleus and am very happy.  
Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG
@srgarrell agree Agon ads are almost exclusively by dealers, who would buy from an internet dealer especially if you have someone local. Also if you are truly interested in a kit call the importer/distributor who will give you the closest reseller... 
From Jeff Rowland to Primaluna. Yes or No?
Don't do it! The JR is an awesome piece of kit while the PL is good it's just good. YMMV

I love my Gold Note PH-10 and PSU-10 very flexible and sounds amazing. There's a guy selling a new one on USAM for cheap $$ https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649855179-gold-note-ph-10-and-matching-psu-10-power-supply/

Have to agree with @mijostyn 2 arms is overrated. Pick the best table/arm combo you can afford and play some music and be happy 😊

@ninetynine the Blackbird is a great TT it's just I've heard the Feickert against a Stabi R and the Stabi was clearly superior IMO.

@rdk777 I'm pretty certain that the Stabi R with wooden plinth can only accommodate 1 tonearm. The other Stabi R's can accommodate upto a total of 4 arms. But please verify with a Kuzma dealer.  
Axpona 2022 what impressed you?
My wife has shut my wallet but doesn't make much difference b/c there's little left after paying for food and gas. Luckily I got a Bricasti M3 at a good price and love streaming, hearing so much new music.   
OK, so seriously, what is up with TMR's pricing here??
Never bought anything from TMR or don't think I ever will so doesn't bother me. Actually never knew about their pricing structure until this thread.  
Axpona 2022 what impressed you?
@daveyf 120k for a small 2 way? And the stands will be an extra 25k? When will this madness end?  
SME is selling tonearms again!
Yup agree SME is now overpriced but hey this is hi-end audio and many brands are IMHO.
