Ideas? PowCords for deHavilland GM70 SETamps
I can tell you that I went from Zu Cable Mother to VH audio Flavor 4 and enjoy a considerable upgraded sound. Great cords for a bargain price! 
Audioquest Argent? Midnight? Sterling?AudioTruth?
Yah Quite a bit if your picky! I used both in a side by side bi-wire and on occasion i flipped em back and forth just for curiosity. The Argent is a much better all around cable with more inner detail and better ( cleaner ) mids and highs. I also ... 
Review: Ridge Street Audio Poiema Signiture Interconnect
Welcome aboard to Ridge Street Audio .I remember not more than a couple years ago knowone knew who or what Ridge Steet Audio was. But now its known real well. For me I started way back a with the first Interconnect and have followed up with quite ... 
Whats a good matching preamp for Threshold S/300?
Yah! I had them both.Two different worlds.My spin on them is the 9mk2 is dry and analytical and my taste told me to get something more "earthy" sounding. At that point I purchased the sp11 and kept it for many years. If you like the sound of tubes... 
Whats a good matching preamp for Threshold S/300?
David99 If you end up getting the Sp11 ,I still have a NOS set of tubes for it.They have a few hours in them but you can have them if you wish...3 for the line stage and 3 for the phono section 
McIntosh MA6900 Sensitive to Power Cords? I have
Sounds like you need more hours of use,but if you insist on trying cords,I would try the VH audio Flavor 4 cords.They work well for me and I a had a similar problem with my old cords.... 
Pure Note Paragon users, comments apprecaited...
Not sure why you have limited yourself to any one specific cable,but I can vouch for silver cable from Ridge Street Audio ( check reviews ).This cable is definately not bright or thin. To me it has all the poisitive effects of copper but just has ... 
Amplifier hum: Does it need repair?
Also is it possibly cable t.v connection on the same line? Just a thought! 
My Revel Studios...They're Gone...Help?
I would check with Paul Marks at Thor Audio . The Thors are very powerful.Much more so than many think.... 
Clean and thin sounding interconnect?
AudioTruth Diamond 2 or 3 that should fit the bill very nicely for you....Price is for used 
My Revel Studios...They're Gone...Help?
I am using Thor monos myself and I feel the same way. I use Kharmas ( 1.0 ) and they work very well,but I am in a large room. A couple suggestions would be Kharma 3.2 used , Merlin ( new mx )or maybe Quads ( 988 ? ). these all should work very wel... 
Used Pre-amp advise please....
From what i can remember the Sonic Frontiers is a hellava nice piece and is a good buy for the money. The only problem I see is it is pretty neutral for a tube unit. The lean problem you describe may be better served with either C/J unit. All piec... 
best possible indoor antenna
I always liked and used a t.v antenna set up in the attick of my home.Can easily be done using pulleys or wired rotor. You can also just find the optimum position for the stations you listen to and leave it right there! No wind problems or roof ha... 
Whats a good matching preamp for Threshold S/300?
I had one for many years with the Audio Research sp11 preamp and it was a great combo. It drove B&W 801/2 with ease. 
Review: Ridge Street Audio Poiema Interconnects
Great review! I agree with all above.As many mention the guy behind them is just as good as his cables!
