| My grandfather needs some suggestions for speakers Take a look at Salk Songtowers. Or maybe you can find a good used pair of Hales Revelation Three if lucky. He may also enjoy Vandersteen 2CE Signature Edition, all great speakers for the $$. Good luck | |
| Cable suggestion Hello Jay, maybe add a quality sound card to your PC with a s/pdif output. Then get a good digital coaxial cable to use. Love my Tara Labs RSC Air 1 75 ohm! Analysis Plus Digital Oval also does very well for the $. Bottom line: Digital Coax will g... | |
| Worlds best DAC I own a SMcAudio Revision A modified McCormack DAC-1. I love it. I have never heard digital audio sound so much like real music. It's a lifelike, multidimensional, tonally correct, full-bodied presentation of the tunes. Mine will eventually be upg... | |
| Cables more hype than value? @ Iblieve, You want an amp capable of 3 dimensional musical presentation for not too much money??? Try upgraded McCormack DNA-1 & .05 Deluxe Ediion amps. After Steve's upgrades these amps do it well! | |

| Cables more hype than value? Thanks for the compliment Audiolabyrinth. | |
| Cables more hype than value? @Mental, sometimes I think that Blue Jean cables are marketed to the old school cable skeptics who feel like they will get close to the same presentation of the music from the "comfy ol blue jeans". I can hear them now..."my ol blue jeans are just... | |

| Power cords recommendations My vote is for Lat International AC-2MkII. They are very balanced sounding from top to bottom, they have a dead quiet background, and helped give my system a more laid back yet still powerful presentation of the tunes. Just a great all around pc t... | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , Hey dudes, hope all is good with you fellows, it has been awhile. @ Dennis and Keith, The company I have referred to as having pretty good power cables is in fact VH Audio...not AV Audio. Another good place to start with budget power cables is Sig... | |
