| to bi-wire or not? @nonoise If you are looking at Audioquest cables go for the PSC+ conductors if possible. I used to biwire with Volcanos on the mid-treble and Calderas on the bass. The Volcanos were all PSC+, the Calderas were PSC. When switching them and putti... | |
| to bi-wire or not? Cool experience @nonoise. If you have the opportunity, try running cables of identical topography to your speakers or even better, identical pairs of cables to your speakers. IMHO the best deal in speaker cables right now is Wireworld. I got two 8... | |
| Looking for a new phono preamp Go for the win and get a new Luxman E-250. No tubes but has that beautiful and detailed sound that will honor your vinyl collection. Luxman just has a way of delivering the goods with no downside. Because of its robust power supply, pops, ticks an... | |
| Overrated/Underrated Underrated: The tremendous value available from the Wireworld line. Check the quality of cable constructs considering their price versus other brands. Overrated: Kimber. Even their Select line of cables don't have the continuity of sound they... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant 15........ Do you have a top quality power cord to connect the P15 to your home service? | |
| New Melody Gardot release Very nice recording! Listening to the CD right now. Very carefully thought out arrangements. More upbeat lyrically than her last release “Currency of Man”. Mastered by Bernie Grundman. | |
| Denon dcd 110 or Marantz saki Ruby? @sericoloSo glad it worked out for you. The sound has a dynamic drive unlike any disc spinner I’ve had. A musical authority! It’ plays music. Not about treble, midrange, bass etc. just the music. It is as if I went to a more powerful amplifier. | |
| Denon dcd 110 or Marantz saki Ruby? @sericoli Just curious...do you have a black or gold Ruby SA-KI? | |

| Denon dcd 110 or Marantz saki Ruby? I have the Ruby as well and SACD's sound great but the really cool aspect of this player is that CD's sound better than I have ever heard them before. There is a "solidity" and dynamic swing to the sound of music through this player. This is Ken I... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Easily the Clear Day Audio double shotgun speaker cables. Rest In Peace Paul.They are fantastic in my system. | |
| Outstanding service from MusicDirect in the USA and Avid Hifi in the UK, read on please! Years ago I enjoyed dropping by the local stereo shops to listen to music through new and different products. Over the years, all of those stores have disappeared. Reading professional reviews as well as those of amateur users are now what I have ... | |
| What do I do with this system? You are right about technology! Considering that fact you may want to focus on a new disc spinner. It is amazing how far CD/SACD reproduction has come. | |
| Component upgrade path As happy as I am with my system as it now stands, if I were to do it all over one change would be a top notch integrated amp rather than separates. There are so many great integrateds! You need one less interconnect and after looking at your spe... |
