Basis Vector 4 arm question
I just got into vinyl and bought a Basis 2200 because it is proven winner and a well planned and made table. As i am not into tinckering too much, i am thinking and i might be alone in this, but i would think for a table at this price range and a ... 
Power cables and power conditioners
I am using the Oyaide's Tunami power cables with excellent results. Will eventually go with thier power strip. 
Silver vs cryogenic treated copper
why not try both? Grover Huffman makes his cable using both cooper and silver with some aluminum thrown in there. Auditioning a set right now and so far sounding great. 
Cables & Merlin TSM-XMr
Give the Grover Huffman cables a look at, Grover has a 60 day return on them, plenty of time to break in and audition. i would love to have a set of Basis cables but the pocket can't afford but these Grover's i am still breaking in are sounding pr... 
IC upgrade advice - Lost
i am presently auditioning some Grover Huffman cables and so far they are performing. In reading other threads, it says to give them time to break in, so i will allow them more time before i say they are it, but so far so good! can't beat the cost... 
Obscure companies making excellent speakers?
Eventus Audio that uses their SACC (Simulated Anechoic Cabinet Construction) Technology. I have a pair of Phobos and they are absolutely fantastic. Paird up with a Pass Lab amp, and you have a really open soundstage.

MIT Z-Cord II PC versus Oyaide Tunami GPX
I don't have experience with the MIT but I do have the Oyaide GPX and GPX-R on my components with the GPX-R on my Pass Labs amp. as the amp is a power hog, I put the R on it and compared to the OEM and a Shuntaya i had, it seemed to open up th sou... 
Speaker Cable for DeVore Fidelity Ref Silverbacks
I own the Eventus Audio Phobos speakers with a Pass Labs XA30.5 amp, ARC LS17 pre and Meridian 588 cd. ICs are Cardas Ref Neautral and present spkr cables are AP Oval 9s which were fantastic with my old Martin Logan speakers. My dealer is a Basis ... 
Speakers for a 12 x 13 room
Vik, I have a room close to yours and I just jumped in to a pair of Eventis Audio Phobos. They worked well in my room with the bass not boomy but enough to blend well. I listen to Jazz, symphony, pop music. They also have a monotor Metis which I h... 
Anyone heard Eventus Audio speakers?
Thanks Fafafion, there is very little written on these speakers. I have seen them up close and personal and they are very well made and their concept on the cabinet make is quite interesting. I am going to give them an audition and maybe get some ... 
Pass Lab XA30.5 with Totems
Thanks to all for the valuable information. It all makes sense and points me in the right direction to follow as i just got the amp. 
Pass Labs Power Cord
I do not own a Pass Lab amp but i was fortunate enough to have a local dealer loan me a XA 30.5 and the same cord Tvad is using Oyaide Tunami GPX. Doing a comparason between my Virtual Dynamics and the GPX, huge difference. It opened up the sound ... 
Is there such a thing as tube sound in a ss?
GREAT feedback from all and thank you!!! Quite surprisingly I get "undefined" bass with the Classe amp but "deep tight bass" with the ARC amp. I also thought it would be the Classe that would give me the bass but it was the ARC that had the "tight... 
Innersound ESL 300 Mark II.
I am presently auditioning the ARC LS17 and I really like what it did to my system, it opened up the music and brought clarity to my ML's using my Classe CA100 amp. I am seriously considering getting Sanders new amp to possibly go with the LS17 if...
