Cardas Neutral Ref Speaker Cable Upgraders
Tekunda-Have you yet compared the Jena Labs cables to your self acclaimed HMS? I recall a thread not to long ago where this was addressed-and I haven't heard any results from your agreed shoot out, or if it was even happening. If need be I will po... 
Cardas Neutral Ref Speaker Cable Upgraders
Asmith- Depends on your budget. I am currently running Cardas Golden Reference and ordered new interconnects last week and new speaker cables are on the horizon :) I decided going with Jena Labs symphony interconnects and twin 15 speaker cables. T... 
MOST tubelike solid state amp
Jwaugh-I have avalon Eclipse and have tried many amps with them. I borrowed a friends accuphase a-50v for a short period of time and it was by far the most tube like amp I have used. JRDG amps sound very good with avalons. I have yet to hear Halcr...

Rogue owners what speakers do you like?
Phil- I am not a fan of Rogue gear(not getting into it again, just the way I feel), but Merlin VSM-ME speakers sound great with those amps, and have plenty of dynamics. Worth listening too, you can get them in cool colors too :)~Tim 
system matching

8 Gauge Speaker Cable
