Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise
1.6QR's biwired with Speltz Anti-Cable with no doubt results in the effect of a pair of subs in the mix - Of course you must have these at least 48" from the rear wall - and also dependent upon associated amp, preamp, CD player, etc ;-) 
Mini-Review of the Beresford TC-7520 DAC
One more update: After 100+ hundred hours of play, this unit just keeps getting better and better - Just for fun a friend recently brought his DAC-1 over, and it turned out we both preferred the overall presentation of the TC-7520 (which is being ... 
Mini-Review of the Beresford TC-7520 DAC
UPDATE: It's come to my attention that Beresford USA has just begun offering a 15-day trial period along with the purchase of a TC-7520, so purchasing one is no longer a $249 gamble - A full refund will be given if a buyer decides not to keep the ...

DIY Anti-IC project
Thanks all for your responses & inquiries - Of those who proposed building their own set to similar specs, I've gotten feedback since that their results are as positive as my own where sonic values are concerned. As mine have broken in even mo... 
Help Best 5-disc cd-changer...........
Couldn't believe my ears after picking up an Onkyo DX-C390 for the office (from Amazon, brand new for around $150 with free shipping) - This is a 6-CD changer with a 192/24 DAC and Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry just as found in Onkyo's much more...

Hey there Paul - I thought this may get back to you sooner or later... All I can say is, c'mon over and listen to my system - Comparing my home-brews to my stock Anti-ICs installed between my tube preamp & amp is no contest - I don't hear any ...

Jim, Speltz's wire is of a fairly high grade-copper; have your buddy make a set of interconnects using Speltz's heavy-gauge speaker wire as I have done and see how those compare :)

Just a clarification on the statement regarding my view of cables in general: While I certainly do believe that "cables can make a difference", I don't believe one has to spend ridiculous amounts of money for whiz-bang audio wires that perhaps sou... 
Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp
Update: It's been just about 3 years since posting my TAD-60 review, and my TAD 150/60 combo still shines as brilliantly as ever. After the first few months of ownership I'd exchanged the stock EL-34 tubes with EH 6CA7's, and then later with Tung ... 
Anti-Cable High Frequency Performance
Stringreen, you mention bass that shakes the house... I failed to mention that upon adding the anti-cables, the bass I'm now hearing from my Maggies now delivers a sledgehammer-like impact when called for, and has reached a depth I never knew thes... 
Anti-Cable High Frequency Performance
Using bi-wired anti-cables sans termination (bare on all ends) and also twisted per Speltz guidelines with a KT88-based tube amp and Magnepan 1.6QR speakers - the resulting sonics are absolutely gorgeous.
