Quick poll: Listening at night, lights ON or OFF ?
Very low lighting with low wattage for that nice ambiance.

I was/am a participant on the long-running AH thread and I don't recall too many owners saying that the AH preamp was too "analytical". I have the original TP 2.0N version with upgraded Siemens Cca and output caps. With my VAC monoblocks driving r... 
Best bargain you've ever missed out
I just missed out a few years ago on a Sansui TU-9900 for $50.00 Buy-it-now on Ebay. The sellers didn't have a clue what they had. 
PS Audio Mini Lab Cable Look Like ??
It looks correct to me, but to play it safe, PS Audio has their own forum on Audio Asylum. Post your question and photo there and the owner Paul McGowan himself will give you your answer. http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/psaudio/bbs.html  
Black Gate caps
Gslone, I don't know how many hours you have on your Blackgates, but they don't sound very good until they have at least 300 hours on them. They will get even better after the 300 hour mark.

Black Gate caps
My H/K Citation 18 tuner was upgraded with Blackgates in the power supply, audio, and multiplex and each location with added Blackgates made the tuner sound better in every respect. I do leave my tuner on all the time so that probably helps. Maybe...

Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
I received an e-mail from Victor recently and his wife just had knee replacement, so he's been busy caring for her. He didn't mention his current association with Joseph, but Victor had told me a few years ago that he would retire and write books ... 
looking for interconnect under 200 dollars
Hi John. Yes, I have two pair of the Komako, the next step up. I won a couple of the entry-level Katipo and paid the $140.00 upgrade for the Komako. The Komako is worth the slight additional cost. It is basically a Katipo, but with some gold and p... 
Can you recommend cables with good PRAT?
I highly recommend one of the new interconnects from a new company in New Zealand called Antipodes. Their entry-level Katipo, because of its unique construction is far less system-dependent than most cables. This is why some cables lose that PRAT ... 
looking for interconnect under 200 dollars
The Katipo interconnects from Antipodes are without a doubt the best value I've ever heard in an interconnect. I have tried many interconnects from the very inexpensive to the ultra-expensive and the entry-level Katipo, which is currently being au... 
Which inexpensive ic's cables worth checking out?
The new Antipodes company out of New Zealand has a unique line of interconnects. I recently bought a pair of their entry-level Katipo and although these have an unusually long break-in (300 hours), their claim of sounding better than most intercon... 
What's a good power cord for conrad-johnson CT5?
Vhiner, I'm curious that now that your CJ preamp has had a chance to break-in, which power cord did you end up using for it. 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Here is a link to the manufacturers who use Duelund products. Some use only the capacitors and resistors. Others use both the caps and resistors as well as the wire. I also am curious, for those who use the wire, particularly in internal cross-ove...
