Passive Preamp Recommendations?
Over the years I've had 1k passives all the way to 22k passives and many in between and while passives do many things well once you switch back to an active pre it all comes together. You should give a passive a try but in the end you will find a ... 
Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen
Not the case, I carry both AZ and PAD.(Dealer disclaimer) 
Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen
You will have to ask Mr Lee himself. I'm currently just listening to my system and enjoying the muzic and that's what this is all about. 
TT Power Cord
You should take one out from another piece of gear then listen to your system then place that cord on the TT motor. I did just this and now have a Pranawire Satori (about 4K) on my TT motor it made that big of a difference.(Dealer disclaimer) 
Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen
In MY SYSTEM the PAD Proteus Provectus was head and shoulders above the AZ Hologram II speaker cables. More air, more weight, better top to bottom integration and the soundstage was deep and wide. The AZ sc did not have any life or PRAT compared t... 
Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen
Grey9hound....yes I have come to a conclusion but it's based on MY SYSTEM so it would be unfair to announce which was a winner. If you e-mail me privately I'd be more than happy to tell you what I heard.(Dealer disclaimer)

MSB vs Wadia vs Reymo vs Meitner
I had 2 MSB units and had issues with both and MSB would not take care...they became very expensive paper-weights. Would never deal with MSB again...EVER!

Had the original Blackbird and went to the Bardo and the speed stability is by far superior with the Bardo. Rhythm and pace now foot-tapping good!Blackbird boxed-up...want to buy one?

Jmcgrogan2 send me a private e-mail and I'll tell you what I've found. I think you will be surprised at my findings!(Dealer disclaimer) 
Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen
Been a PAD dealer for many, many years, just became an AZ dealer a few months back using Crescendo speakers and thought I'd give their cables a try. Glad I did!(Dealer disclaimer) 
Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen
I just placed into my system (only 20 minutes ago) an AZ Absolute Copper XLR (from pre to amps) and with a quick 24 hr burn-in they are beautifully musical. There's lots of detail and they soundstage wonderfully.....will give them 5-7 days and the... 
Thinking I need a Sub...
If you do go the route of subs look into the new JL's (I've not heard them yet but do use the F113). I used to use REL's and had many, many issues so my recomendation is to stay away from REL. Just my 2 cents worth.(Dealer disclaimer)
