Powercord on VPI Turntable & SDS ?
"The one going from the SDS to the TT motor would benefit more from a shielded cable to keep the EMI/RFI nasty's away from the tone arm."The Shunyata Diamondback which I use on my Scout is perfect for this as it is shielded. 
PSAudio in trouble?
Wyred4Sound dac1 is 1,000.00. I have been using one since January 2012 and love it. I have done extensive listening between the Wyred dac and the dac in my 8,500.00 Esoteric player. I have come to the conclusion that on any given day I could go wi... 
need advice on odyssey sunfire system
The Odyssey piece is an excellent sounding integrated. I am sure it will sound great with the speakers you have in mind. 
Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond V
I couldn't agree with you more. 
Upgrade BAT VK-55 to VK-55SE? Worth it?
I haven't heard the SE version, but you have to ask yourself is there 2000.00 worth of difference? I have had some upgrades done to my components in the past and I have found that it was not worth the money for what was supposedly gained. 
Sunfire classic tube vs sunfire symphonic referenc
Actually, Symphonic Line is a very expensive, very well respected line of high end gear from Germany. Odyssey Audio is the importer. 
VPI Scout with Grado Master - but what next?
I had a Dynavector DV 20X cartridge on my Scout and loved it both for Rock and Jazz. It worked very well with the JMW arm. I had bought mine used and the suspension started to collapse so I only had it in my system for a couple of months. I used i...

SACD remasters- any better than CD version?
I just compared the SHM sacd version of Quadrophenia by The Who with the Mobile Fidelity version and the original version on MCA Records. I found the MoFi to sound the best with the original version coming in a close second. The SHM SACD came in a... 
Subsonic filter noise??
There is a KAB rumble filter for sale here. Buy it and your woofer pumping problem will be gone. 
Cat damaged speaker, Help
"Would you buy a new car if you didn't have a garage?"I have bought probably 30 new cars in my lifetime between my wife and I and I have never had a garage. What's the point? 
Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam ,
If it were me, I would put the DH Labs cable back in the system and return the Cardas. Otherwise you will end up spending a lot of money and probably still won't be completely satisfied. 
SACD remasters- any better than CD version?
I agree that the Acoustic Sounds SACD of "Wish You Were Here" is not as good as the Mastersound version. I get the same feeling using my Esoteric SACD player so it isn't the Oppo's fault. I think in this particular case, it was remastered more for... 
Nakamichi ZX-7 Cassette Deck - - - Dubbing Problem
all good suggestions. I would also try another tape and made the recording again. If memory serves me correct, you can fine tune the deck for each tape used. 
Speaker selection for Cary 2a3i integrated
How about something from ZU Audio? They have pretty much all price ranges covered and theory speakers are extremely efficient and were made for tuber amps.
