Davea33,The active shielding is an expensive and entangling problem that other cable makers have solved -- while providing superior SQ.

Audioman58,I also sold off all my SR cables -- and never looked back. And I am glad to be rid of that tangle of MPC wires that made things so difficult to get a handle on behind my components. 
Powerconditioners for digital?
Ptss,I have been experimenting with power conditioners, isolation transformers and power regenerators for years to find the best possible solution to this systemic problem that we all face. I found Synergistic Research Powercell MK II and Bybee St... 
Powerconditioners for digital?
I run two isolation transformers in series and a power regenerator plugged into #2 with DAC/transport plugged into the power regenerator:isolation transformer > isolation transformer > power regenerator > DAC/transportWorks much better th... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Anyone have experience with Amperex, Telefunken, Mullard or other brands with the TP 2.3?

Gammajo,That's interesting. I tried a pair of Siemens Cca and they did not work for me in positions 1 and 3. I am now using a pair of Philips SQ in positions 1 and 3 and they are very good. I have other tubes coming to compare. 
Redbook CD Is Not Dead
Gammajo,Exactly.

Gammajo,Not only a great player -- a great everything. Including great cables. A great player is not enough. IMO. 
Comparative help...
Not my business to try to talk you out of this -- but I would try a used pair of Raidho C1.1 monitors -- if I were you. Much better sonic value for your money. IMO.

Chayro,I agree - it does not come cheap. Part of this is acoustics and part is psycho-acoustics, IMO. There are no black backgrounds at live performances. This is a psychological matter. I started a post a while ago about black backgrounds to poke...
