Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs...
I have compared Huffman ZX cables with literally dozens of other cables in A/B testing using all sonic parameters as a guide. The cables I have used for these comparisons are from Cardas, Mogami, Supra, Pangea, ASI Liveline, Kimber, Bybee, Furutec... 
Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status
If you get the right cabling you do not need all this complicated and expensive active shielding. It is a big money maker for the manufacturer but, contrary to the maker's claims, it can be totally avoided with the right cables -- from a different... 
UP-OCC solid core copper for speaker cable
I have had great results with DIY solid core pure silver speaker wire in series with Furutech OCC. I also have several layers of Bybee purifiers in the mix. 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
Davidpritchard,I think it is best to leave preconceived notions at the door when it comes to inlets and outlets. I was actually surprised that the Furutech was a dud in my power regenerator. I think what this discussion shows is that there are rea... 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
There are no absolutes. All I know is that the gold did not work in my system.

Hi Ralph,I thought they were talking about driver tubes. 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
I just replaced my Tesla Plex SE with a Furutech GTX-D rhodium receptacle in my power regenerator. Powered up. Surprise -- the rhodium sucked the life out of the music. The Tesla Plex SE went right back in -- very quickly. Powered up -- ahhh, that...

I am using Mullards, Sylvanias and Tung Sols. The difference is night and day. 
which preamp
Zd542,Sometimes the Shunyata works best downstream and sometimes my DIY Furutech works best downstream. You need to reverse them to see which configuration sounds best.The Furutech wire contains no silver. I am not aware if the Shunyatas contain s...

Toothman,Regarding output tubes for the S-30 I disagree, with all due respect. I spend 6 months sourcing tubes for the S-30 and the difference is night and day vs. the stock tubes. 
PS Audio PWT - cd transport
I have been enjoying my PWT for many years. May I suggest that if your system is well developed and can use better cables an upgrade will produce even better results from your PWT. 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
I use Furutech rhodium plugs and IECs in my system to great effect. 
PS Audio Direct Stream
Charles1dad,To tell you the truth, right out of the box, with the old firmware in the DS DAC, I could easily have lived with the NAD M51. But with the new firmware in the DS DAC the NAD M51 gets thrown out of the ballpark.

I have the S-30. NOS tubes are essential, as they are for my Audio Horizons preamp. Finding the best tubes can take time and money. But once you do there is no going back.
