New rack or power conditioner
Buy a Pure Power 2000 AC regenerator; it will make a bigger sonic improvement in your system than a new rack! 
after TT upgrade, digital sounds like crap- help
Buy my EAR 192 DAcute DAC I have for sale and it will fix your digital issues in a heartbeat! You need a better DAC.

I have owned Prana Wire and agree totally with another commentor; I still have it in my collection. I am using the Snake River Audio Mamushi interconnects and speaker cables and it is the first cabling I have tried that surpasses my Prana and it i... 
Review: Snake River Audio Cottonmouth Power cord
I am a believer also and have Snake River audio throughout my system. It replaced Prana Wire and some Transparent. It is amazing cable. If you are looking for an amazing sounding digital cable, buy the Boomslang. Jonny is a great guy to work with. 
Best speaker cable for focal scala utopia
Snake River Audio Mamushi; affordable and superb. 
Anyone own or listened to this cd?
Yes, I own it and love it; the artist intepretations are fantastic. I love the Roaches doing the Cloths line Incident. One of the best Bob Dylan cover CD's. My other favorite is the Grateful Dead's "Postcards of the Hanging" it too is fantastic in... 
Speakers for VAC sigma 160i -- need inputs
Evolution Acoustic MicroMM1's with stands for $2500 new! Far superior to the Magico 1's. I own the MM2 but am considering the Micro MM1's for my home theater. Best deal in audio. Email Jonathan Tinn at Chambers Audio.

Amen! Another completely happy EA owner. Congratulations. 
Wyred 4 Sound STP SE and ST-1000
Are these the same as the Ampzilla amplifier? How much power does the amp have? 
Any Alice Cooper fans?
Hey DonJr; the women that said she loves him (Steely Dan) could be telling the truth! Steely Dan was the name of a steel dildo in the movie the Naked Lunch; that's where Steely Dan got the name. So it is true she probably uses it often and likes i... 
Anyone ever think about building a dedicated room?
I have a dedicated listening room and it is true it can be perceived as a "man cave" that separates a couple, but I always explained to my wife its better than being on a golf course for 5 hours; if she needs me she knows where I am. Later when th... 
A Great Deal on Audiogon
I have a friend who owns a pair of the Trios and I enjoy them immensely but he would disagree with your assessment they are not room sensitive and easy to set up. He finds them to be one of the most difficult to get right and probably the most sen... 
AXPONA anyone?
For you first timers, allow yourselves more than one day to see everything. Many rooms sound different and even better the second or third day. Having more than one day provides a chance to return to the better rooms to listen again. I have found ... 
kuhl-tubes; does the process work or is it hype
It works; just buy your own tubes of choice and send them to Charles at Cryogenics International in Scottsdale, AZ and he'll cryo your tubes cheaper than this brand. 
evolution acoustics mm2 - review after 600 hours
Still loving my MM2's after a year. Can't see buying anything else but the extra woofers someday to convert to MM3's. I was a Wilson owner for years and find these more coherent top to bottom. Kevin Malgrem is a superb designer.
