A most neutral and transparent power cord
Hey Ox,I have both the Gain and Source cords but have only used the Gain on the Stealth so far. 
Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made?
Jetkitty, I'd say your friend is the "best bang for the buck". 
Power cord? Why?
S23chang, I don't know about all the EE stuff, but higher and lower gauge cables do sound different and has different effects on different types of component ie digital front end and amps. One anomaly I found is I like higher gauge on digital and ...

Hey Redkiwi,I did try just about every powercord I have in just about every possible application.I am lucky that I found a way to enjoy the Eichmann cable in my system. I've had it for months and never really like it until a Furutech ETP60 arrived... 
Solid state amp ultimate stop...
I think I am very fortunate in that I spent very little in audiophile terms to already have purchased the amp I think I will use for quite some time. It's the Gaincard. Why are you not including tube amps? Personally, I'd rather stick with solid s... 
Interconnects with Eichmann bullet plugs?
silversmith, boulder and bogdan and bettercables that i know of. 
Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made?

Older Nakamichi Gear ?? Stasis ??

Does anyone have similar problem with Pass Amp?
How long does the hum last for after you turn your amp off? I suspect the right speaker is experiencing more interference probably due to the cable being crossed with another cable. When I turn off my aleph3, there is still enough power to play mu...

I give my thumbs up to Michael Wolff cords, Eichmann Express AC and the Bogdan AC.

RE stuff is junk. The older TA and SR series along with tape decks built around that same era was when Nak was making their best stuff. Difference between the two, I don't know. SR is older. 
AC Power
Try the Furutech E-tp80I got the E-tp60 without surge suppression is works great

Not sure about the CD players, but go with the SR or TA series. Stay AWAY from the RE. 
Resolution Audio Opus 21
Platsolos, can you describe the differences between the Meridian and CEC transports you owned? Also, do you think you could have gone with a better dac thus your previos transport/dac combo would be better to compare with/against the Resolution Au...
