Best Cables for Atma-Sphere MA-1 MP-1 combination
'Twas I. MP1- and MA-2 - had PAD Dominus i/c worth about $10,000. Changed to Mogami at $100 and sounded just as good. Sold the Dominus the next day. 
Conrad-Johnson Premier PV 14 or Juicy Music Xtreme
Thanks for input. Going with C-J. Always wanted one.

Audio Horizons. Get great reviews. I need 2 XLRs to use in my main sytem instead of the Calypso. Will call the manufacturer. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'll surely let you know:) 
Summertime ss amp Question
Thank you all for your input. I have bought a used Bel Canto Evo2 Gen II for $1K. Fits in space, runs cool, balanced, and, although I have never heard it, is Stereophile Class A. 240 WPC into 4 ohms. I dont expect to replicate the sound of the MA-... 
Summertime ss amp Question
Thanks. Cant find reviews of the W-5.3 except on Audio Reviews. Are you familiar with the amp? A bit above my budget - I am favoring the Bel Canto Evo2 Gen II, used, for less than $1K. In the $3K range there is a lot of competition. Any informatio...

Summertime ss amp Question
Raquel, it is amazing that you went to all that trouble! The only thing not current is my affinity for Jena cables -everything else is true! The Rowland 6 consists of 2 monoblocs, right? That would be a problem fitting into the cupboard space - an...

>>any amps got your visa card moving yet?<<No, seems the only 2 options on A'gon right now that fulfill my criteria are the Cary CAD 200 and Innersound 300. Have I missed any? 
Summertime ss amp Question
Rleff, the Rowland Model 5 looks huge, but no dimensions are mentioned in the manual, but it weighs over 100 lbs and I dont see XLR inputs in the photo, although the manual alludes to them. For what it's worth, I'm looking for a Conrad-Johnson typ... 
Summertime ss amp Question
Elizabeth, I have enough trouble edging my 6 foot SP Techs further and further from the wall whenever she's out without having a hood and duct to totally freak her out! Get real:) The MA-2s already occupy a coffin-like enclosure along an entire wa... 
Summertime ss amp Question
Krell man, I really didnt like the sound of the Nuforce. Is Spectron more "tubey"? Rleff, good suggestion, but I think I'm stuck with getting her an ss amp. Furthermore, my SP Tech speakers really need a lot of power and the MA-2 certainly does it...
