What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
PS, in addition to the Sablon Audio Gran Corona power cord added to my system this February, I've now added a Sablon Audio Corona Reserva to power the Creek Destiny, moving the Gran Corona cord to my Marantz SA8001 SACD player. I honestly think I... 
Monitor Audio Silver RS6 - What Speaker Cables?
Thanks, all. I ended up using MIT CVT Terminator 2 Biwires.  
Stillpoint Ultra Minis
It's 2024 and I'm just now reading this Stillpoints thread (I know, late to the party) but can someone please tell me if the pointy ends of the Stillpoints Ultra Minis are supposed to point upward at my amp case with the bases resting on my compon... 
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
As Deep_333 said, the type of people that buy $50,000 speakers are not going to flog them. Their musical tastes likely run toward classical or jazz, neither of which are terribly hard on speakers unless deliberately pushed to the point of clipping... 
What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
Just this month, after adding CruzeAUDIO Maestro outlets to my systems dedicated line and hearing very noticeable, immediate improvements in detail, imaging, bass control, blacker noise floor etc (which to my mind defied all logical explanation), ... 
Audiogon Tech Question
I just ran into the same issue… seller added an extra letter to the model number (not part of my saved search) and I wasn’t notified the item was for sale, even though all the other search terms were correct. I can’t go back and make my existing s... 
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
I upgraded from monitor audio silver RX6 (and RS6 before that) to GoldenEar Triton Twos, then to the Triton Ones that I currently have. Compared to the RX6s, the Twos opened up the soundstage and added space & detail between all the elements i... 
Need 10ft -15ft MIT CVT Terminator 1 Speaker Cables
mattmiller, very much the opposite… keithtexas is absolutely correct, MIT CVT Terminators are not only tonally neutral, they open up musical details and add air around every note and instrument. Perhaps the person you got your information from did... 
What should I use to convert FLAC files to AIFF?
Thank you all! I’m trying out XLD as I write. 
Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?....
I have a Sansui TU-919 and a Mitsubishi DA-F20, purchased based on the tuner shootout rankings. I got the Mitsubishi first because the price was right and I had Mitsubishi equipment back in the day, excellent tuner. HOWEVER, everything they said a... 
Lenco L75-S16
It's no more desirable other than the fact it has zero hours on it, and the much better S-shaped tone arm. Same platter as all other heavy-platter Lencos. P.S., a NOS Bogen B62 just sold on ebay for a bit under $450 a few weeks back, but I didn't ... 
Forever speakers around $5000
Used GoldenEar Triton Reference, perhaps? A bit larger than your preferred size, but my Triton Twos sound amazing and the Reference add shiny piano black enclosures. They may be too big for some rooms. 
Popular new/used SS stereo power amps under $2500?
My early-model English Destiny sounds amazing and has had zero issues. You can look at my profile to see the associated gear I run with it. 
Popular new/used SS stereo power amps under $2500?
Sorry, had some reliability issues. 
Popular new/used SS stereo power amps under $2500?
Creek Destiny integrated, the British version, not the one manufactured in China which apparently have some reliability issues. Reviewed January 2007 in Stereophile.
