| Seeking informed recommendations for power cables and interconnects Here is what I use for core wire but not sure about the connectors. They might be able to upgrade the connectors. Many manufacturers use the 2549 cable with a custom outer jacket. https://www.amazon.com/Foot-Directional-High-Definition-Interconnec... | |
| Seeking informed recommendations for power cables and interconnects I use Mogami 2549 in all my RCAs with either KLEI copper harmony or furutech 126g RCAs with ground floated / shotgunned at one end. See my system details. I’ve tried many power conditioners as I have some DC on the line and every one killed dynami... | |

| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under Search around, there were some ProAc Studio 148 slim towers for sale for less than $2500. Use with Soundocity SEV9 outriggers. Love the sound of mine with my Audio Refinement (YBA) gear, modified RP6 and custom cables.The 148s use the same silk ... | |
| Floor standing speaker isolation advice needed. Wouldn’t hurt to call Paul at Soundocity.com before you do anything. | |
| What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers? I would recommend demoing as much equipment as possible. This may require establishing a good relationship with one or more audio shops in the area or dealing with equipment ordered online with a trial period. I will +1 the Rega recommendation, ... | |
| Full-Range to Monitors I went (mostly) the other way about 2 years ago from Tekton 6.5t monitors to ProAc Studio 148s. While I would consider the 148s full range I would not consider their behavior to follow "full sized" boxes given their 2.5 way speaker and slim tower... | |

| Vincent SV-236MK Joining this thread with my eyes on a Vincent SV-236 (non MK) with the all black knobs (no silver accent rings) with all 6 inputs as analog (yes, I will use them all). I currently use Audio Refinement separates (see system page for details) desig... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Will be interesting to see if Sweet Vinyl sells enough of these to keep the product line / company going. For me, the SC-1 new is: - 3x more than my phono preamp - about the same price as my modded RP6 (I got it as a demo) with GT Ref subplatter a... | |
| Which Budget Speakers, Tekton or Omega? I really liked my Tekton 6.5t monitors. Great midrange with right amount of punch about 12" from wall. I tried their mini lores, too laid back for me. I upgraded to ProAc Studio 148s and have not looked back. There is a pair of the 148s for sa... | |
| Falling out of love with tubes Last night I tried a Cary CAD-5500 premamp between my Audio Refinement separates (Pre5 preamp and Multi5 amp) in an attempt to get some tube harmonics introduced in the signal chain. Didn’t last an hour as it dulled my dynamics and musicality.Rest... |
