has anyone heard the black cat digital cable ?
I bought a new Black Cat digital cable from Galen Carol. He had it in stock, and it is a great cable. Maybe they did discontinue it, but would not know why?? Great cable at a great price. I wanted a new pair of their up coming RCA cables but heard...

Tube pre amp problem?? Help??
Thanks Nglazer for the reply, but I already figured out the problem, and in fact emailed A-Gon to kill the thread before it came out so as not to get replies from thoughtless bone heads like above. They told me they took care of it, but here it is.

Importance of line stage pre--Who Knew?
Hi Charles,I had sold my last pre & amp awhile back and went to an integrated amp for a bit, then sold it and bought a pair of Newforce Ref 9's and hooked it up to my Pre/Dac (Emotiva XDA) and said "good enough" and just left it like that. The... 
Importance of line stage pre--Who Knew?
JohnnyB53,I just had an experience like that myself this past week. I had been using my Dac as a Pre/Dac and bought a Dared tube preamp from a buddy and the second I hooked it up my wife said WOW!!! (So did I) It sounded like we walked into the IM... 
Power cord recommendation for DAC
Yes, consider the Shunyata VTX on sale for $295.Normally $500. You can get one from Galen Carol Audio. I also had the Venom 3 on my DAC and bought this one and it is so much better. You won't regret it. Has a long break in period though but well w... 
Pre amp for Nuforce Reference 9 mono's
Hi Mechans,Thanks, I am thinking of a tube preamp all the way if I can find the right match, but will not rule out a SS pre. Would like to keep it around $1k or below or so for now. Thinking about the Dared MC-7P tube pre as I saw a 6 moons review...

B&W 800 DIAMOND-COMPARABLE SPEAKERS
Hi,Well, can't compare the 800's, but on a slightly smaller scale, I owned the 802 Diamonds and now own Usher 8871 Diamonds, and I prefer the Ushers. So maybe they would be a contender for your budget vs the 800's. 
Power cord..CDP or AMPLIFIER?
Hey Audioman,Wondering if you could lead me to the exact PC you are talking about as I need one for my new integrated. I bought a new Shunyata VTX and like it a lot, but moved it to my DAC where it is designed to work better. Was thinking about ge... 
Best Power Cord for a Classe CA 2300
Wow!!!! Ok, I think I am going to order a Pangea AC 9for my new Music Hall integrated. If Elizabeth is still happy with her's after all this time, I think it must be pretty damn good. If it's not, I'm coming after her!!! ;o)
