| Benchmark DAC3 / AHD2 Combo (with a Goldenear Triton Reference chaser) @toobusylisteningtopost,As good as your Triton Reference speakers sound with 100wpc, they will improve even more with more power. I use a 300wpc McIntosh amp with my Triton Reference speakers and I am amazed with the effortlessness of the sound. ... | |
| Replacement for 802 D3s There is nothing wrong with your Mac gear, it is the cornerstone of a good system. The B&W speakers are bright, period, as are the Paradigm speakers with the be tweeter. It’s like an ice pick hitting your eardrum. The Rockport Avior II would b... | |
| Adcom 555se on a smart strip? One thing I don’t understand is everyone’s love for Adcom. I had an entire Adcom system with Vandersteen 2Ci speakers and never warmed up to it. I found the Adcom 555 II to be a bit bright and hard sounding and moved on after a couple of years. ... | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? I use Shunyata Copperhead and Diamondback power cords that were 15 years old when I bought them used here. I have no idea how old they actually are. As far as I am concerned, they are good enough and will not be changed. | |

| Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed " I'm in agreement with kijanki4 with respect to tone controls. The better your gear, the less you need them." Thats false. At 67, my hearing is going and tone controls can be a blessing. | |
| Emotiva T Zero or HSU HCCB8 You lost me at Emotiva. | |
| Interconnect RCA Cables between Preamp to Poweramp I had Chris @VH Audio make me a 1.5meter pair of cables to go from my preamp to power amp. Nothing I heard came close to what I bought from Chris. I believe it was a CU Twist cable with KLI RCA plugs on both ends. My cost shipped was $399 | |

| Sonus Faber speaker boxes worth $1200 ? “Called my local SF dealer and he can get me boxes for $250 shipped” well, there you go then. | |
| The Weekend I turned off that God awful music that was the half time show. Sad state of affairs as to what music has become. | |
| Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed All McIntosh preamps have tone controls. | |
| Classe Delta Stereo Amplifier @mike_in_nc,I have seen many ARC amps with fans. | |
| Power cable recommendations for wyred 4 sound Sti-Intergrated amp Stay away from Pangea. I tried them and they sucked the life out of my system, back they went to Audio Advisor. I use Shunyata exclusively in my systems. |
