Inna, thank you for the contacts. Last night I looked up the price for a pair of the length Audio Design Neptune fluid cables I'd need, about three yards long. They were running well over three thousand dollars a pair, which is unfortunately well ...

Inna, fortunately I have until February, when the Magico’s hopefully arrive, to study and make choices on the wiring.Rest assured I will not call you names due to your suggestions, even when they haul me into bankruptcy court. At your suggestion, ... 
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
Thank you for your assistance. You are fortunate to be acquainted with individuals in your field such as Mr. Taman. Must make for interesting company. I have nothing but respect for individuals having achieved that level of expertise. It doesn't c... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
Inna, Certainly interesting, but not easy to figure out for sure. I’ll try to find some described as "linear, balanced, clear, harmonically correct" to audition at home once the components are all here.Twoch. I heard them demoed with ss and they s...

b4icu, I’m sorry you have been subjected to such rudeness on this thread. There are certainly much kinder and gentler ways to disagree with somebody over their ideas. Also, and nothing to do with speaker cables, I did enjoy your aside about your d...

Twoleftears, thanks for some excellent advice/ I'll isolate one of the three 20 amp circuits I wired into the Entertainment (Listening ) Room for the stereo system  only.  I won't buy any cables until after the speakers arrive and I'll check with ... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
Inna, thanks for the explanation. Sound a little like the drug companies.Ieales, I hope the Luxman works out too. I really wish I had access to products I could demo in my home. But, I'm not anywhere near a big city now, so I have to rely on revie...

Thanks inna. You’ll be emailing me at the poorhouse next. I wonder what they are putting in these wires that cost so much?Mike

Inna, sounds like the VPI tonearm cable would be a natural choice. Thanks. You asked what figure I had in mind. I really haven’t any figure, because I’ve never had any cables and wires other than the cheapest stuff most of us used in the seventies...

Twoleftears, I checked out the Furman online. And thanks for your input on the Simaudi and Plinius.Terry9 and Cleeds, from what you’re saying, it looks like I’ll need to put some serious study into this subject of electrical supply. I really only ...

For various reasons I decided the top contenders were the Hegel H360 and the Luxman L-507uXII. Both had superlative reviews.The Hegel had Magico’s Alon Wolf’s recommendation for use with the Magico A3. It was rated at 400 watts into 4 ohms, a hund...

Clhs04, Thanks for the recommend. I'll research the  Plinius Hautonga integrated, which is yet another model and company I've never run across before. Snoopy72, If I had an additional $3000 to spend on a new Luxman L-509X those four additional 10...

Builder, I’m sticking with new in spite of this temptation you’re placing in front of me. I did read the review you provided a link to, and the L-509X sounded ever so nice. Mike 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
I’ve got to learn about that too, Inna. Maybe after I figure out cabling. The power around here is unreliable, frequent outages and whatnot to say the least. You don’t think those power conditioners they advertise and you see with turntables somet...

Jafant., any idea how the Anthem STR might compare with any of the others on my list? The list now includes the LUXMAN  L-507uXII, thanks to Inna. Mike
