Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
Essentialaudio, I have kind of dropped out of this thread. I meant no offense about the statement that I repeated from Cerious Technology. Might I ask about the resistance of these cables. Years ago I had the carbon cables and found I had "ground ... 
Fozgometer?
Restock, I apologize for not having read your earlier post on the iSpectrum. I am going to down load it and give it a whirl. 
Electrician's advice wanted: safely lifting ground
Jea48, our forefathers did not have this fun as their ac was ungrounded. With their stuff in wood boxes, I guess they were safe.

Blindjim, that still does not rule out the possibility that NOS tubes might be better in the Nagra. Trying them is the only real test.

Brdsmith, check out the Tidal electronic thread. 
Fozgometer?
Someone told me there is software on a Mac to do this running the phono leads in through a phono jack with two RCAs on it. 
Electrician's advice wanted: safely lifting ground
Are the jacks on both amps insulated from the chassis? You mention that Amp A has a ring suggesting that the inputs are in fact isolated. Have you tried only having Amp B on to see if you have hum? Or only Amp A on? I suspect that Amp A is causing...

Dan ed, your solutions is good only for components in which the input and output jacks are isolated from the chassis. I have seen few where there is such isolation.Lifting the chassis ground is dangerous if there is a hot wire in contact with the ... 
Power cable management
I make every effort to have power cords not touch the floor using Suspendors, a ceramic isolator. I also seek to have them cross each other at right angles or close to it. Of late I have been using charged cables which might be insensitive to bein...

Hichory, I think you are right, but the real issue is convenience.

The best sounding ANATs I have heard were in the Synergistic Research suite at CES using all their cabling and all Esoteric electronics on StillPoints racks and component stands.

I am sure that Nagra has to live with tubes that are readily available and make their best choice among them. I my opinion, 50s-70s tubes are far superior to what you can buy today.I know my Reimyo 300B amp came with new production Westrex 300Bs t... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Well, I have now put Universal Cells on my speaker wires about a month ago, on my preamp to amp ics about a week ago, and on my digital source to preamp ics, about two hours ago. I had deliberately installed them one by one although Mr. Denney had... 
If money were no object, what would be in your rig
Magfan, I would much prefer the non-SE version of the Oppo because it has the good sounding Crystal chip set which makes sacds and HDCDs sound great. I would, of course, get the Exemplar mods done on it. I also would never steam off the internet, ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Suteetat,I had assumed that they were all in common. I would call SR.
