| Stealth cables One of the reason turns the re-seller off is if the manufacture itself also sells the used cable over the internet. The profit is minimum and therefore it is not worth for re-seller to compete against the manufacture. | |
| Stealth cables I'm not sure there is such thing as counterfit Stealth PGS.My local hifi shop won't take anything unless is name brand like MIT, transparent, Audioquest, NBS, Audio Note, Synergistic research, XLO... etc. Not many people know about Stealth because... | |
| Stealth cables Keep in mindFor the source cable, you want as clean as possible with full balanced freq response and as big sound stage as possible. For the cable that goes from preamp to amp, it varies in different system. | |
| Flexible power cable Rmzidann, You just totally ignore the fact that "foil technology" does exist. From Allen Wright's "Super cable" cook book, the foil technogy is his believe as the ultimate cable design. Both Omega Mikro and MappleShade use similar method to manufa... | |
| Stealth cables Scottht, I tried the entired line of Stealth including the latest one. The only ones I like is the M-21 special which is was custom made under my special request. The other Stealth I tried sounded too laid back and slow. The highs aren't clean and... | |
| Flexible power cable The Omega Mikro and MappleShade are the most flexible ( used the copper foil technology.) but not sure how safe it is ( also $$$ ) | |

| Best stand mounted monitors I bought my speakers first because of its size (always the wife factor) I then got the amp to match the speakers. Sometimes it is easier to find an amp than a pair of speakers you like ( due to size, appearance, or type.) | |
| Best stand mounted monitors The SCM-20 would work quite well and you won't need a sub ( unless you prefer huge amount of bass.) The Proac SC and Tablet will not do the job in your space. Even the SCM-10 is too small for the room. The B&W 805s is also too small for the sp... | |
| Audience AU24 vs Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference If like AZ product, the silver Reference is a Much better cable. AU24 is warmer. Neither one gives good detail.You can also get an used NBS King serpent II or signature.For source cable, I would used M-21 special from Stealth. | |
| EL 34 based amplifier recommendations Music Reference RM-9 is your best bet on EL34 based amp. This amp is rated 100 Watt/channel. Great transformers and nice open relax sound. | |
| Which speaker cable? The cheap and good working solution:Go to home depot and get a roll of 100 ft 16 AWG sold core copper ( $8.20 ) and make twisted pair for each + and -.This will give you 13 AWG and it will be much cleaner and tighter sound than the monster cable. | |
| Sub or Subs to mate with Sonus Faber Amati Homage Tried with REL storm II. Not impressive. |
