What Power Cable for Furman IT Reference 15i?
I am using an older FIM/CRL Gold on my Furman IT Referernce 20. They are somewhat hard to find and super stiff to maneuver but well worth the effort IMO.

Just wanted to add that the price bracket would be for used speakers. Thanks

Noise when turning on/off tube amp?
Quincy,While not questioning the validity of your suggestion, I am wondering about the feasibility of turning on/off the preamp before the power amp when using a tube pre and SS power. For me, my SS monoblocks are ON 24/7 while my tube pre is ON o... 
Tube Whine noise...Please Help
Thanks everyone for your help. An update on my original problem: I replaced my tubes with 2 NOS JAN Phillips 6922s and the ringing is gone. Now that I know the problem was caused by bad tubes, I will start tube rolling with better NOS soon. 
Anyone know anything about the PS Audio Delta 200
Well, I am not familar with the 200 Delta, but I have a pair of the 250 Delta monoblocks. I belive that the two amps share similar circuitry and components inside. The main difference is that the 200 Delta is a 200W stereo amp while the 250 Deltas...

Stupid Question: How to take out tubes??
Thanks a lot everybody. I was finally able to muster up the courage to pull the tubes out. It turned out to be easier then I had thought. But as always, it is better to ask before jumping in blindly. Thanks again. 
Tube Whine noise...Please Help
Thanks for the replies. So if it is indeed microphonics, what options do I have to eliminate it. The ringing is pretty annoying. Even when no music is playing and the tube preamp is left on, the ringing will occur sometimes. Am I correct to assume...

Thanks Mike on your first impressions on the Concerto. So far they have improved your system, so that is good. Keep us posted as they burn in and as you get more familiar with them in your system. I am looking into getting some for my system when ... 
Output Impadence for Musical Design SP-2B
Brokenarrow, You are right on with your description of the SP-2B. Jonh Hillig of Musical Design wrote back with pretty much the same info. Here is his e-mail reply in case anyone else needs the same info:"The figure is around 2K Ohms. We have used... 
Output Impadence for Musical Design SP-2B
If that is indeed the case (2-2.5K Ohms for the SP-2B), what input impedance should I look for in an amplifier inorder to avoid the problems associated wtih impedance mismatch? In addition, is it a good or bad idea to mix tube pre with SS power? T... 
Isolation Cones/Bearings placement on CD Transport
Thanks for all your replies. I will try the different placement options once I receive my Daruma Bearings. Since I have never used isolation devices before, I just wanted a general guideline before I actually tinker with them. I hope it turns out ...
