Review: Salk Sound Veracity HT3's Speaker
160 people have read the review and no comments?:-) 
Good Power Cord for a BPT Line Conditioner .......
I'll second the VH Audio AirSine.If that is too much, the VH Audio Flavor 4 with upgraded connectors is pretty darn good too (just not very flexible).George 
VAC Phi 70 good match for Vandersteen 5As?
The Phi 220 amps sound great in Fsarc's system and they ARE an improvement over the excellent DNA-500.You lose a little on the bottom (but pretty much ANY amp loses a little on the bottom to the DNA-500), but you gain a little more texture and dim... 
McCormack DNA 500
Overall the DNA-500 beats them all.No regrets at all!!THE Kora amps had the magic in the midrange that only Class A Triode tubes can produce. The DNA-500 is very liquid without a hint of grain or harshness I usually hear in SS amps, but it isn't t... 
VH 2, Signal Magic, Zu Birth
let's make it six out of six for VH Audio :-)I use Flavor 4 (with Rhodium Furutech and Gold Wattgates) and AirSine cords in my system.Each time I try a new cord against them, the VH Audio cords stay!Chris has a 60 day trial period, why not hear th... 
TACT Power Supply Upgrade From Aberdeen Components
I just installed the Aberdeen upgraded power supply and if you own a TacT preamp, you should RUN to the phone and order one!!This is not a minor tweak or upgrade, this is a change on par with or better than a component swap.As Alex mentioned above... 
H2O 250 vs Mono's vs Spectron Musician III HELP
Muralman,It is not correct to think that the TacT makes for a smaller sweet spot and limits where things sound good. When people sit off-axis at my house, they have been pleasantly suprised by how good it still sounds.George 
Mccormack or muse or forte
I am also a big McCormack fan (DNA-500), but the entry models offer a whole idfferent sound.To be honest, at the sub $1k price point, I think you need to listen to the Odyssey Audio Khartago or maybe a used Stratos with upgrades.I have also owned ... 
Powercord for McCormack DNA 500
VH Audio AirSine works very well and should be a must audition. Since VH Audio offers a 60 day trial period, you can judge for yourself.George 
Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy?
Denf,I have heard the JC-1's, but never in a very familiar system or head to head with the DNA-500.As such, I don't think it would add any value to comment on its sound.One thing I will say is that the JC-1's run pretty darn hot while the DNA-500 ... 
Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy?
McCormack DNA-500.Outside of the VAC Phi 220 mono amps, most complete and balanced sounding amp I have had the pleasure of owning or spending time with.It has tremedous bass, a nice musical and detailed midrange, with an extended treble.Really get... 
Review: McCormack DNA-225 Platinum Edition Upgrades Amplifier
Great write-up!I am very happy owner of a DNA-500 and I was wondering if you have any idea how the Platinum Level DNA-225 compares to the DNA-500.George 
McCormack DNA 500
Well, I wish I had an endless supply of cash as somebody up above said... :-)I do own the DNA-500 and I am using it with a Tact 2.2x preamp, VMPS RM 40 speakers, and an Empirical Audio modified Sony S-7700 as a transport directly into the Tact.The... 
Best rca digital cable for Audio Logic 24MXL dac?
I am using a VH Audio cryo'd Silver NextGen Pulsar.This modestly priced ic sounds better to me than some other very good digital ic's:Argent Audio Pursang and Jaden SigRidge Street Audio Poiema!!Acoustic Zen MC2Audience AU24WireWorld Gold Starligh... 
VenHaus Pulsar™ interconnects
In my evaluations, I was going for best sound, not best sound for the money. My comments should be taken in that context.I totally agree with previous statements that cables are system dependent and need to be evaluated in each person's system.Tha...
