Warren, if you are going to spend the money try to purchase the grey plate early 60's CCa's. They sound more natural, not quite as bright as the shiny plate CCa's. I use one pair in a system full of tubes and they do add something quite special to... 
DCCA powerchords VS Elrod statement powerchords ?
I have changed my policy with lending out power cords for in-home auditions. For a while I had completely stop due to the cost. Now I limit the amount of power cords I send out. Sending out 20 or 30 power cords at the same time gets pretty costly!...

Audio Physic Virgo II vs Avanti III
I have owned all three versions of Virgo's and found the III's are the best out of the group to my ears. They are much harder to set-up than the first two versions. Tubes seem to work better for my taste. Each version I have tried both with SS and...

The best sounding Audio Research Line Stage preamp
Another vote for the LS-5 mkII. I have owned several of the others on your list and prefer this model over the rest for a quality tube sound. Adding premium Amperex tubes will greatly enhance the sound as well. Don DCCA Audio

Audio Physics Virgo II's - Cabling
Hello Geoff, Cardas Neutral Reference worked pretty good with the Virgo's. DiMarzio were also good for their price point. My DCCA cables transformed the sound into something no less than amazing. So natural yet so very very powerful. You need some...
