Cables for B&W Nautilus 802
I owned a pr.of B&W CDM-1NT a few years ago and they definitely preferred copper. Silver always made them sound a bit tipped-up and bright. AZ Satori is a good safe choice. I actually preferred the Stealth Premier copper to the Satori, but whe...

Speaker stands for Reference 3A De Capo i
I did a search one time regarding monitor stands and one of the names which seemed to come up most often as the best is Osiris. The Osiris looks to be built like a tank. Whatever you decide, make sure that they are heavy metal with hopefully the o... 
Anyone tried Oritek X-1 cables?
You can only order the X-1 direct from the manufacturer. His name is Ori and his e-mail address is Orim@ispwest.com. Ori's username on Audiogon is Serus. Happy listening. Ori is a very nice guy and responds to all e-mails. 
Cheap amp $300 to use with Vandersteen 2ces
One of the best amps that I felt was the most synergistic with my Vandersteen 2B's was a slightly modded by Musical Concepts Hafler DH200. A very musical and synergistic combo. 
Review: Auricle Audio Encore Ka ICs
I wasn't going to say anything until I had bought all I needed for my own system, for I knew that the prices would soon begin to go up, but now that the secret is out, these are wonderful interconnects. I have had great results on my home theatre ... 
BlackSand PC question
Trip, I just noticed a 5' Powerwave for sale for $115.00 in the classifieds. If I didn't have plenty of cords right now, I'd scarf this one up in a heartbeat. You can thank me later, or if you don't like it, I'll buy it from you and thank you then. 
BlackSand PC question
Hey Trip, I've not had the opportunity to try the Black Sand yet, but I'm hesitant because I haven't had good experiences with power cords that have ferrite chokes in them. I did have the Odyssey Stratos( an excellent s.s. amp,by the way) and I fe... 
Review: DCM TimeWindow 1 Speaker
From what I recall, when I was selling the Time Windows back in 1979, DCM used all Philips drivers. The woofer was, I believe, @6 ohms. You might do a google search or contact DCM directly( are they still in business?) or try this site: www.layne... 
Good power cord for Rotel?
I 2nd the Virtual Dynamics line. I also found the Shunyata Sidewinder Gold to work well. I have since sold my Rotel gear, but I would bet that the new DCCA Powerwave Extreme, $189.00 retail, would work wonders for your amp as well as the other Rot... 
Good speaker cable for Rotel / B & W
I had a Rotel 985 5-channel amp and B&W CDM 1NT speakers a few years ago and a great speaker cable for them is the Stealth Premier cables. You can find an 8 ft. pair used on Audiogon occasionally for @ $200.00-$250.00/pr. This is a very synerg... 
Electra Glide Ultra Kahn II and NOISE
Canyon John, DCCA has all three of their power cords on auction right now. There are many threads on why a good power cord makes such a big difference, in spite of the miles of cheap wire that precedes it. What most of us non-technical oriented a... 
Cardas vs Shunyata power cords question
Hi Waltersalas, I am waiting for some demos to come in to Don for a possible demo myself. Perhaps the two versions you demo'd are ones Don had in mind for me to try. I have two meager systems, one with a 50W Audio Refinement Complete integrated an... 
Electra Glide Ultra Kahn II and NOISE
Jayctoy, I have only tried the entry-level Power wave Extreme and I'm very impressed. I can only imagine how much better the next two Ref1 and Reference cords sound. I want to get the full measure of this entry-level cord at first. Then I might ju... 
Electra Glide Ultra Kahn II and NOISE
Tvad, I agree with your assessment of the Elrod and DCCA power cords. I just sold my Elrod Sig3 for financial reasons, but recently rebuilt a new system(downgraded?) with the DCCA cords and I am happier with the overall sound than I was previous...
