Best interconnect for Magnum Dynalab MD100
I'm not familiar with your electronics with first hand listening experience, but I can recommend the Harmonix Golden Performance ICs if you want to hear what your electronics were meant to sound like. I was very happy with my Cardas GR until I hea... 
Monitor Audio Stands, whats the diff?
It's been my experience that most stands mix the two principles of coupling and decoupling. Mixing the two defeats the very attainable goal of coupling. Decoupling is an unattianable goal, where coupling is. I use the Sistrum Mini Monitor Platform... 
What happen to finishing speakers like furniture?
I hear ya, as well. Check into Sonus Faber if you want to see some hunk of gorgeous woodwork/craftsmanship. And great sound to boot.... 
Speaker stands w/ 10" x 10" top plate?
I use the Sistrum Mini Monitor Platform System made by, yep you guessed it; Sistrum. They will have a picture of this stand on their website, I believe, in a week or two. It's only 20 inches high, but can be adjusted to fit ANY size monitor. Three... 
Sistrum or Neuance or...?
I think Robert's response is more than fair. Of course (it's obvious by the responses)his response can be tweaked whichever way the mind wants to perceive it. Listen and decide for yourself. No pressure. Don't like it? Send it back. Can't beat tha... 
Sistrum or Neuance or...?
BTW, I know many parasites, bugs, and pigs for that fact, that love eating manure. Maybe they know something that we don't. You should taste it one day. It may just resonante with you. 
CD Cutting and / or Trimming
you want to speak to buscis2. Ed is the specialist on this. I have heard a cd that he cut for me. Yes, it does make a significant difference. Am I willing to go through with it? No. He'll be on the 'gon, soon with his 2 (excellent) sense worth. pe... 
power conditioning - source vs amps
The Audio Magic Eclipse is set up perfectly to isolate digital and analog. Two power cords required. I have them plugged into two dedicated outlets. that's the way to go..warren 
power conditioning - source vs amps
Dedicated crappy electric is dedicated crap. Throw a power conditioner (a great one like the Shunyata, the Sound Application, Audio Magic) and you'll be set free.... just some FWIW. warren 
power conditioning - source vs amps
Tom, I respectfully disagree. The PS OUs are certainly less expensive, but that's it. There's no cord that will replace an excellent power conditioner. You might want to consider something like the Audio Magic Mini Stealths. Non current limiting. ... 
power conditioning - source vs amps
Tom, what are those PS OUs doing for you, that your power conditioner wasn't? Dedicated outlets, but you're still going with those OUs rather than a power conditioner? I'm confused. What kind of pc did you have? 
power conditioning - source vs amps
Tom, you ditched the power conditioners? What were they? How come you're using, now, PS UO if you didn't require power conditiners after your dedicated outlet installation? What could they be doing better than a good pc? I'm confused. peace, warren 
power conditioning - source vs amps
The two dedicated outlets, firstly, are the way to start. There is not a power cord out there, that can do for your electric what a great conditioner can. I'd start with your source, but you want your amp, as well to have it's own power conditiner... 
Does an aftermarket power cord matters for Amp?
You're right on that Stu. I was comparing to his older model. Wasn't aware of his new stuff. As Gilda Radner use to say on Saturday Night Live, "never mind." Can you hear her? Anyway, I'm sure the new ones are jamin and worth the $$. peace, warren 
Does an aftermarket power cord matters for Amp?
New cords are in. Right out of the box. Brand spanking new. No break in. SOUND?-- Unreal.. My system went from breathing through a cocktail straw to breathing from an inch wide pipe. Out of the box. Cold as a cucumber. I was told, in advance thoug...
